Web Site Updates
Well, two days left at work. Today we held a meeting so that I could explain all our wonderous email related programs to the rest of the department. It went okay. It’s not nearly as complicated as it was before, largely thanks to some nifty scripts I’ve written. Tomorrow there’s another meeting where the rest of my knowledge will be sucked out of me. Wheee!
I’ve also been working on some updates to my website. I’ve redone the picture page, now with multiple pages for different sets of images. Instead of the page being static, it’s now dynamically generated from text in the thumbnail images, so all I have to do to add a new image is drop it in and generate it’s thumbnail. Also, the navigation bar at the top of the page now expands to two lines when you go to the journal or pictures area.
For some behind the scenes stuff, I’ve redone my online editing section, using a single Mason component that generates a form based on the output of a ‘describe’ command from MySQL. It makes it so there’s just one set of scripts that can handle editing my friends, games, and links (and movies and palm apps, if I ever get around to adding them.) Also, everything is now in CVS, so I can do revision tracking of what I do, mainly to get used to using CVS.
I think for future updates I may make an automatic acronym tag filter or something simpler like changing the rest of the graphics over to PNG. I should probably find out how well IE 6 handles them.
