How Galleries Work

Carol reported she could not find the larger photo where her hair is “exploding” which is featured as a thumbnail on the main page of Tybee Island 2003. Dad also reported not finding some photos.

The main page has a link to a group of pictures. I put the # of pictures in that group on the page. “All Dressed Up” has 30 pictures.

Each section is presented in sets of 9. In the upper-right corner of each section of 9, you will see left and right arrows as well as numbers representing each section of 9. “All Dressed Up” has 4 such sections.

Carol’s hair exploding is the first photo on section 2.

Once you “zoom” in on a screen-size photo, you can also go through every photo one by one using the left and right arrows. And you can go “up” a level on any page by clicking on the title.

Each photo has a “Full Size” version that can be used for printing to photographs. These are usually larger than the screen. To save a full size photo, click on the link at the bottom of the screen-size photo and then right click on the giant photo that will appear to save it.

Yoda Security

In search of what services to shut off and which to leave on…

Shut off the following services:

Alerter

Messenger

Remote Registry Service

In part based on this article.

Found out why shutting off RPC on Merlin brought it down. (Shouldn’t have done that.)

iBook Dual USB 800 14.1

This is Kathy’s (first) iBook. There are so many flavors of “iBook” it is hard to remember what one has… when looking for support issues. See: Apple-History.com.

iTunes’ Join Tracks Feature

iTunes has a “Join CD Tracks” feature which is not intuitive (but in the help file.) I’ve used it for Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall. Neither of those CDs have real breaks in the tracks. Each song flows one into the other.

If you highlight one or more tracks on a CD prior to importing, an Advanced menu choice is available: Join CD Tracks.

This creates a single large file. You lose the individual track names and numbers after import, but that’s a small price for breakless listening.

Navicat

In search of DC’s deleted weblog data…

I’m not used to using databases and not being able to “peer into them” through some kind of GUI. I was able to see all the MovableType MYSQL tables on my system with Navicat. Added a user to the MovableType author table called “Navi”. So that’s why he’s writing this and not Jeb.

(Now… off to restore DC’s deleted blog and entries from backup.)

Update: Now using CocoaSQL which is much free-er than Navicat and works well.
