Minor update to On:Gallery

Submitted by Falken on
I've removed the left most column from the gallery pages - this is the one with the calendar, recent posts etc. in.
This makes much more room for the pictures, and you shouldn't get lost because the main title strip is still there.

The menu items in the top title strip have also been rejiged, so you can always get to the main bits.

Enjoy.

Knob twiddling

I've written before ([node:1308]) about having Reason to go with Rachael's birthday present.
[G2:7716]

I thought it was about time to show what I've done since reading the manual and the HowTo book we got, so here it is attached (you need to click the title of the article).

Nothing funky (yet!) just showing change of drum patterns, playing samples, on the fly effects changing of samples, and a 'analogue' synth built by myself.

What's happened to On: ?

Submitted by Falken on

Drupal :-)

The system we used to use for writing On: was called SlashCode and it was badly maintained, over the top and complicated to use.
Drupal is much simpler (for us and you).

I have brought across all the old user accounts, stories and journals (which is what SlashCode called what everyone else called blogs) - however it will take some time for things like URL links and categories in the imported items to be sorted as they have to be done fairly much by hand :-/

New server installed and running

Submitted by Falken on
Well, thanks to Rachael's parent's redoing all their computers over Xmas, we've got our first ever faster-than-a-gig server. 1.245597 GHz to be precise (2483.81 BogoMIPS to you geeks) of AMD Athlon.

Upshot ? The main page now loads in the blink of an eye, and even the gallery (the bane of my performance life) is now quick !

Plus, it's kinda cool to know that CPU fan is still spinning (at 3040 RPM), and the CPU is only 44 degrees C :-) Look out for the graphs !

Live and exclusive

Submitted by Falken on
For one day only, the webcam is covering the destruction of our garage, check it out, stage right, webcam link (under 'LIVE' in the Features box), or click here if you are not logged in, as something is screwy with our non-members index pages at the mo.
