you didn't think i could resist, did you?

it works again! remmeber, you can get the user interface that does the uploads and thumbnails and makes a page like this, plus random quotes and random images, at thelizard.us. go on now you know you want it.

also i felt like uploading the large version of that big ole wowflower picture. it came out of the camera just like this (click for the 1600 x 1200):

another lizard. i'll update when i get the random images/galleries/quotes dealymathinger done ok, the random images - quotes - gallery is zipped up. i haven't tested to make sure this zipfile has all the right stuff yet, but it's there, i hope someone downloads it and plays with it. also, there is a stats thing which i'm just kinda playing with, to see what i can see, you can sign up and use it for free! thelizard.us is my resources page, i'll be doing all kinds of resourceful stuff there.

ok, it's been awhile since i've had referrer logs, and i had forgotten just how much fun they can be. #3 for lizard furry sex. and if i'm not a furry sex lizard, well, then, i don't know.

got lost in the other results. herpetophile. mmhmm.

first there was the random quotes/images thingy i wrote. then there was a need for galleries, so i built it in to the same interface. it uploads the random images, it uploads *and thumbnails* the gallery pictures and generates the viewable gallery. it's what serves up the futurama quotes on the lyricbase, and, well, i don't use the random images but they're there.

getting people to download and play with this thing hasn't been as easy as you'd think. i've almost got the full gallery version ready to go, please let me know if you're interested -- you need PHP and MySQL on your server, GD libs must be compiled with PHP (fairly standard) and you should be able to twidget with a simple config file. it does all the rest.

so? wanna?

so i was googling for lyrics of a song i hadn't even found to download, and i ran across allofmp3.com. yes, that's russian, but look at the top, there's a little english link, click it, there you go. now they have the free downloads and soforth, however to have all access it will cost you. yes, it will cost you a whole penny a megabyte. or subscribe and get up to a THOUSAND songs a month, paying for bandwidth, basically.

of course, there are those who think all that old testament smiting and stuff was because god didn't have a mac. hey, i'm all about both sides of the story here. via christine.

and so finally i get through to the ISP (i left a message. the owner's daughter called me back.) "my dad will reset the routers from here" and a short while later, everything was back.

they only had three other calls like this today (not sure why those folks didn't get any rebooty, maybe they didn't say geeky enough things) but all in all, i have to say i'm pretty darned happy having an ISP that returns phone calls at 10 something saturday night (and then calls back to make sure everything's up and running).

and now everything's back to norman.
