I’ve got a new car, some new fish, sorted some of my life out and been really busy. But no time to do anything much here, I hope nobody comes here regularly to read this.. (yeah.. right ;-) )

Current plan is to try and be more proactive with updates here, I have also been putting some technical stuff on my technical blog over at easytarget.org, and I will build a wiki at ezopic.org for my fish stuff. So this remains my personal site, I have a seperate space for my howto’s etc, and a place to write at length about the fish.

Well I’m still going to write about my finned friends but I need to start venting and smiling a bit more; so, having vowed I’d stop commenting all the wonks here and just use it as a diary I’m going to exercise my prerogative and say ‘Stuff that!

I wasted loads of time playing with the wrong plugins to WordPress for this. Finally I just created a new RSS feed on my gallery set to dynamically provide random imagesfrom the whole gallery site. Then I used the Photo Sidebar Widget to display the first three images off the feed. This plugin does exactly what I want with no additional baggage, all the other solutions I found were vastly overcomplex (WPG2) or buggy (External Gallery2 Image Block Plugin).

But! I had to modify it to work with Gallery2.3 on my system like so:

Edit file: (you can do this via the WordPress inbuilt plugin editor if your system is setup to permit it.)

.../wp-content/plugins/photo-sidebar-widget/photo_sb.php

Find the following line:

case "Gallery 2 RSS Module, version 1.1.0":

And add a new line below it:

case "Gallery 2 RSS Module, version 1.1.0":
case "Gallery 2 RSS Module, version 1.1.7":

This allows it to grab a RSS feed from gallery 2.3 (the original line is for Gallery2.2). It totally failed to display any images for me until I worked this out, adding the above made it instantly spring into life.

There is a lot more to come.

I’ve been trying (and failing) to import my old weblog from Blogger.. Problems with WordPresses import function driving me nuts.
Yippeee! my old blog is now restored!

Please drop by again :-)

Lost some interest, but mostly just busy with stuff.

However.. I have a new website done now (well.. nearly, it needs a load of themeing) which is built around wordpress so I’ll be able to keep the weblog going. I hope to import this blog into it as a ‘starting point’, and then flesh the site out a bit, but not too much :-) .
