Last night I finished another short PIL project. I'm feelin' lazy at the moment so I'm just going to quote my gallerymaster post verbatim: |
|
| |
|
This weekend I've been primary oncall for work, and haven't really had the option of leaving the house. So I spent my time writing a random-montage-generator in Python that will create clickable image maps. The first application: Montage of Galleries. |
|
| |
|
The strip of photos on the left is 300 pixels wide and 6300 pixels tall, and is a blend of pictures roughly grouped by the owners on the right. It's composed of 525 images; pictures used as album highlights are preferred first. The image takes 45 minutes to generate, and completely pegs the CPU, so it'll probably be freshened only once a week. |
|
| |
|
The code is pretty flexible, so if you want a desktop-sized montage of photos from your own Gallery, or something else custom, just let me know. |
|

I just created Gallerymaster Blog on tinani as a place to publish Gallery info and updates for the Galleryserver. I'll be posting info about software upgrades, new features, bugs, and links to my favorite Galleries and pictures (once a week on Fridays.) |

For some time now I've been holding off on adding artsy pictures to my Gallery because they really require a different organization than party/everyday-life pictures, not to mention a different mood. So recently I created the more seriously named CCS Gallery to contain solely my serious photographs. Preview: |
|

|
| |
|
I'll be copying pictures over from my regular Gallery slowly but surely. It's the sort of thing that won't be updated often, so you might want to consider using the RSS feed. |

I have two small things for you. First, I added two more albums to my picutres from the Codjelly Roadtrip, pics of Santa Barbara, and some from on the road. Second, I'm nearing completion of another new iteration of the backend of my website: C7F7. Here is the test page; don't try to comment on it, becaue the comments box is not working, but do let me know if it looks like shit in your browser. Using CSS means I can now more easily do this to you. Merry Christmas! |

You may have noticed in the past few days odd and indecipherable new banners on the top of the site. Maybe you just shrugged it off because you know I'm a retard, and thought I just couldn't figure out how to use Photoshop. Well, dumbass, you should've clicked on it, and you would have gotten a little treat! It's actually a slice of an image selected randomly from the Gallery, and if you click on it you get to see the original. Who's a retard now, bitch? Whenever you view any page at the site, there's a 1/2 chance you'll get to see the current slice; each one lives for fifteen minutes. The text in the corner is the name of the album containing the picture. |
|
| |
|
Also, the search box on the side of the page has been broken for a disappointingly long time. Well, I finally fixed it. It took like three minutes. If you can't think of anything you want to search for right at the moment, I'll give you a topic: pants. Now talk amongst yourselves. |

Actually, it's just a little blue 'C'. Really little. Sixteen pixels across and sixteen down to be exact. CodyTheFreak.net has been lacking a favicon.ico for some time now (it's that little thing next to the URL in your browser near the top). But it lacks it no more, as you should be able to plainly see. |
|
| |
|
The other change: rather than having up my old test version of the website as the main page of my Gallery server, I've put up a Gallery of Galleries. It's got sample images from every Gallery I host. Webmasters who may be reading this: please email me to change your highlight picture or de-list your Gallery. Maybe your in the witness protection program... Hello, Mr. Thompson! |

That's the name of the new section. When copying Rickey's comment about weaksauce, it occurred to me that there is a lot of funny stuff said over AIM that never gets written down. So I'm going to start doing so. Since one article does not a section make, I moved over Xangarada too.

Ellie got me an iSight camera for giftmas! Oh my god, she's the bestest girlfriend I ever had hadded! Thank you, Ellie! |
|
| |
|
Of course, rather than using it for it's intended purpose (video-conferencing), I immediately set it up as a webcam. So now you can look at me here. Also, you might see Ellie, or Josh, or any number of other people who are always in my room. In that interesting things are always happening around the same times of day, and that my whole home-life in confined to one room, it should be very exciting. |
|
| |
|
I'll add automatic reloading, funny picture gallery and other stuff like that later. For now, sleep! |

My productivity has been at an all-time high over the Thanksgiving weekend. Alright, that's a blatant lie. However, I did accomplish something useful: I wrote an RSS feed for the site. |
|
| |
|
Most webmasters would just stop there, and not explain how this is useful at all. What the hell is RSS? Why do I care? Where did I put my pants? I'm going to answer these questions, because I think most people have no idea what RSS is. |

Have you ever been to Slashdot or Fark or some other site that's just a lot of different links to different news stories from different sources? That's what aggregation is (a.k.a. syndication, for the purposes of this question). You take short summaries of articles from different sources, and you put them all together on one page so you can see a lot of data at once. Aggregation doesn't have to be human powered though. Imagine a website that automatically gathered the new news stories from 10 different newspapers and presented them on one big page, so you could find an interesting article easily (like Google News). |
|
| |
|
| |
|
You can actually do this with sites that have syndication feeds. RSS stands for RDF Site Summary (and RDF for Resource Description Framework). You can use web services like NewsIsFree to pull information from various sites and give you a quick heads-up on your favorite sites. I have an aggregate of blogs so I can see what my buddies are writing about without visiting 10 blogs a day. |

Someone reminded me yesterday that I promised you guys a new banner the next time C7F celebrated a birthday. And here it is, courtesy of Tori:
|
|

|
| |
|
Thanks, Slim. That picture has just been crying for use as a banner for days. Days, I tell you. That reminds me, having just moved that picture into my gallery, the total picture count draws perilously close to 1000 (a goal of mine for the semester): 975. Scarily enough, I'm probably in 300 of them.
|
|
| |
|
Hey, this picture would make a good banner, too... and maybe this one, but for different reasons. There aren't enough that could be classified as "cute." You can see all 22 here.
|
|
| |
|
Lastly, I added comment-functionality to the site last night, when I was bored and pissed. Like my 6.12 mile, it's another something good that I did will feeling angsty. No offense, Angie. Let's say that you should... tell me what you think of the new banner by clicking on "Comments" at the top of this article. Yeah, that's what I want you to do. Now go do it. Yeah, like, right now.
