gallery

I'm working on my new gallery tool. I want it to be:
- db independent
- have search engine
- not to have pregenerated thumbnails
- easy to use (e.g. upload images through ftp or web form)
- easy install

So I've decided to use SQLite for certain file db. This way there will be no need for a mysql or any other TCP/IP comm. database.
Why SQLite? Good question! :)
First it's PHP5 embedded, easy to use, have the same SQL query syntax and the most interesting is that when you want to move your project all you have to do is to copy the db files. :) Perfect when you easy install (move to another server).
And still the SQLite is quite fast when we use about 25k rows per table. But we should use TRANSACTIONS for fast multiple inserts (as usual).

For the thumbnails I found this http://www.hido.net/projects/phpThumbnailer/. I think it will be good enought for the task.

WYSIWYG on-line editor

I have just found a new and better than the old HTMLarea editor.

Take a look at www.fckeditor.net it's worth spending time on it ;-)

Just the licence is not so great. You can't use it in your products for free as the HTMLarea, but at least the FCK editor is open source ;-)

notpron after work time

Interesting thing is how someone can press somebody to do something faster :)
Today we had to launch a new feature @work, which was not tested and known to have very serious issues, but ... managers :)
They always know what is best to be done. Anyway, I had to spent some more time (about 12h) @ the office (glaah), but managed to take care of most important things/services and make them work. :) (yupii)

Now trying to pass level 16 of notpron ... I'm sleepy :) can't do it now. I figured out that all levels marked with zero are not important. There numbers have something to do with the username for each level ?!? hm... strange and confusing.

notpron

My roomate showed me a very interesting on-line game. It's like a puzzle, but more complex.
The point is to get to the next level, but finding the username and password hidden somehow on the current level page.

I've played till 3am :) and managed to get to the 14 level by now.

Let's see whether I will pass this :).

Oh, the URL of the game? Of course :) - http://deathball.net/notpron/notpron.htm
but do NOT cheat! :) It's not fun. Would be only waste of time ;-).
Believe me!
