Doo, doo, doo, Lookin’ out my back door

Snowfall in Charlottesville from February 11, 2006

Well we got a decent amount of snow here yesterday. Accuweather said we got about 5.5 inches before I went to bed. I will agree because I cleaned off my car 3 times on Saturday and once again this morning.

1 + 1.5 + 2 + 1 = ~5.5

For as wet and cold as I got, I should have gotten down with some serious sledding.

Anyway, this post isn’t at all about weather. It is to test a new image plugin (lightbox found via orangeyeti) and to show off new galleries (created with “the FileBrowser” found via ZaMoose). Hopefully the image above is “thumbnail,” which when clicked takes you to the larger original image (actually the original is much bigger).

The first gallery to point out is the one where I have accumulated the majority of the general images I use on the site. The second gallery has mostly images and movies related to tigernet.

Thumbnails in the galleries seem to be working. Main page has a “large” pic but appears to be the point. Everything looks to be working.

Well done. I’ve been meaning to install that LightBox plugin myself.

The plugin is OK.

I was a little disappointed because I was hoping that the plugin would generate the thumbnail itself. As it is, the application is almost cumbersome because for implementation you have to have both image locations, the thumbnail height and width, and the alt and caption tags. Although I guess I could easily just input values erroneously then correct them as necessary.

I also couldn’t get the quicktag button to appear when I was composing posts in the preview-type mode instead of straight html. I like the html composition mode better though, so it works out.

I really like the galleries though. I tried installing the “gallery” or whatever plugin and had a helluva time with it - never quite figuring out how to make it work. All I want to change now is the title or whatever it’s actually called. but that’s just a minor detail at this point.

That’s not how it goes.

Even if you are right, that would be one plus one plus two plus one, not one plus *two* plus one plus one.

Watched this movie 4 times while sick in bed last week.

Well fortunately I still have 1/2 a bullet left if my calculations are correct…err… nevermind.

Clue is a completely underrated movie. I bought a copy a couple months ago and I’m pretty sure I’ve watched it at least 15 times.

collapse Hayes Says:

Great performances by all. Especially love Tim Curry and Madeline Kahn.

As for CLUE, I remember ZaMoose and I requoting Madeline Kahns whole “She makes me soooooo mad” quote many times
