As of tonight, I’ve launched another blog–given that I don’t update this one often enough, having two can only make the problem better, right? The new blog is a photo blog, called ‘GKH Photography’ and is located at gkhphoto.com. The idea is that all my photography will happen there, leaving this site for mostly words about stuff (there may be a photo or two included with a post every now and then, but they will be […]
Here is my latest pre-Christmas toy–a Sony GPS-CS1. It’s essentially a GPS data logger, it’s only display is three LEDs. When it’s on (and has a signal) it takes a GPS reading every 15 seconds and records it to a file. The purpose of the device is to geotag photos (Sony says the device is to be used with CyberShot cameras, but it’ll work with any digital camera). The device […]
Now, several weeks after it was supposed to be done and posted, I finally finished version 1.0 of my posting frequency plugin for WordPress.
The options screen is still terribly ugly, and the default colours come from the colour scheme for this site (but are configurable).
So, if you’re running WordPress, try it out.
I know my posting frequency has dropped off a lot recently. (You can stop reminding me)
I’m going to make an attempt to change that, and get back to my original goal for this year of writing approximately one post per week. So, I’m taking a page from Angus’s book and have put my posting statistics on the sidebar. I did this with a custom Wordpress plugin, that I will post publicly as soon as I clean it up […]
Unless you’re reading this with a feed reader, or are a first time visitor, you’ve probably noticed that I changed the site design (again). This is the third major design since I launched GeoffHolden.com back in October 2004; three designs in two and a half years isn’t too bad.
I’m pretty happy with this one (for now anyways). It has several new features that the old design didn’t have:
It actually expands to use the whole browser width.
It adds the categories/tags features […]
If you’re into fancy web tricks/layouts/etc. and you haven’t already, check out Lightbox JS v2.0. It’s a neat little script that lets you link to images and have them display on top of your current page, without having to navigate away.
I’ve been meaning to try to integrate it into my photo gallery for some time now, and finally sat down and did it this evening. So, if you try to browse through my gallery now, and click on […]
As you or may not notice as you’re reading this, I’ve made a few minor updates to the style of this site. I wanted to give the site a little more style, pizzazz, panache, and might I even dare to suggest cachet? (Oh, it’s got cachet, baby! It’s got cachet up the yin-yang!)
Now, as a warning, if you happen to be using IE the page might look slightly worse than before–the round corners will be far less smooth than they […]
It’s been about two weeks since I switched from Blogger to Wordpress here on Geoff Holden.com, and I figured I’d let you in on how it’s going.
I think Wordpress is a great product, it was easy to set up, writing a custom theme for it was straightforward, and it had the ability to import all my old Blogger posts. It even has the ability to run multiple blogs out of one database (which is […]
As you may have noticed (well, you had to notice if you’ve been reading this page… so all five of you should notice). This page just underwent a major overhaul. I necided that the old page had too many ‘words’ on it. It was too texty, and realisticially who was coming here to read the RSS feeds (with the exception of the SLUG site, which I may try to get back on here).
This overhaul also marked the move away from […]
Welcome to the new site. The old white & gray one with the old picture is gone (finally!).
I’m going to use this site to post anything that comes to mind, as well as a home for my personal projects and presentations.
