On the way home, I saw someone actually using hand signals in their car instead of their blinkers. At first I thought “what a goon! Fix your lights, scrub!” Then I thought how few people even bother with their regular turn signals, and how this guy is guy is going so far as to stick his arm out the window every time he even changes lanes. That’s a lot more effort than most drivers bother to pur forward. Props to you, hand-signal-guy. props to you.

So I sauntered into the restroom here at work. I sauntered with purpose. I knew what had to be done, and I was going to do it. Iwas going to be in and out, and nothing could deter me. This is the attitude one should have upon entering the men’s room. This is for no other reason than that it’s “the way of things”. Now I don’t actually care if people are talking in the bathroom… but it does creep me the fuck out when people are talking on their cell in the bathroom. Not like “standing in the corner, I just washed my hands” in the bathroom. I mean like “Hi, I just wanted to talk to you about” (log drops, dude grunts) “that issue I emailed you about” grade talking on the cell in the bathroom. I’m sure it can wait 5 minutes, and I’m sure dude on the other end of the phone would rather not hear you releasing yesterday’s dinner while you’re talking to him.

So I put some finishing touches on my photo album script yesterday. I had a couple epiphanies after spewing forth some boring nerd-babble at her (that she’s so good at putting up with). She gave me some suggestions on fit and finish that my eyes didn’t catch too. Taking this script from its original form and making it do what I wanted it to do was a great learning experience. I thought I’d post it up for the few of you that might find it interesting or useful. Feel free to use/change etc.
The script
The original
A glance at both will show I’ve added quite a bit. My script auto-generates thumbnails and stores them in a common directory instead of downloading each pic and scaling them to a suitable thumbnail size. In a directory with more than 10 pics or so it brought my pathetic upstream to a halt. I also made it represent directories with icons (instead of “not at all”) to make browsing easier. I had to split up the image subtypes to make animated GIF thumbnails behave nicely. The script is still a kludge and could probably use some refinement, but I thought I’d post it up since a few people have commented that it makes a nice slick image page.
Check out this picture directory starring my old CRX to see how it looks (I reccommend not browsing around the directories much, as many directories have images from random places on the internet that contain nasty words and such). It’s nothing flashy but does its job very well for a simple script written by a noob.

So I’m going to start doing the blog thing on my own server. Ain’t that some shit? It’s very conveniently located here at IggBlog. I’ll still be reading other peopels’ pages, and reading/responding to comments, here at LJ. I’m vain enough to want to read what people have to say to me, but not so vain to think that they’re actually going to register on my site. That’s my story.
