I’ve been getting a lot of spam in my guestbook lately. About 15-20 comments a day!  I decided to give the Akismet spam blocker a try. Hope it works. I can’t handle another ad for Vicodin or Luis Vuitton bags

So I started using Skype at work and now I’m using at home. If you haven’t heard of it check out their website http://www.skype.com/ Basically in a nutshell Skype is a little piece of software that lets you make free calls to anyone else on Skype, anywhere in the world. With a good mic headset the quality is as good as a normal phone line. For an extra $30 you can call anyone in the US or Canada for an entire year free. Sorry if I sound like a sales person but it is pretty cool. Add me to your list if you decide to try it –> “sonicdu”

I found this site on one of my friends pages. So what does 200 calories actually look like? Check out the site. Plenty of pictures

I just want to vent my frustration for Microsoft being such a crappy company. I spent half the day at work today trying to figure out why stuff works in IE7 and doesn’t work in Mozilla Firefox. I’ve come to the conclusion that Microsoft is to blame because they are so full of shit. They do things beyond the standards of web development because they’re too godlike to conform to common practices. So now I have to create two seperate stylesheets for everyone of my pages because Microsoft is a POS. Thanks Bill Gates!  

I figured out how to display camera settings in PHP ( eg. Camera make, model, shutter speed, aperture, etc.) PHP has a buit in function called exif_read_data(). Click here to see available EXIF tags –> 100_0755.jpg To display the tags in PHP is easy.

Insert this statement
    $exif = exif_read_data($filename, 0, true);
Then print your selected tag
    echo @exif['IFD0']['Make'];

Check out my photo gallery to see the final results.

Spent half the day today messing around with PHP, CSS, HTML and MySQL. I finally got the comments working and looking somewhat decent in my photo gallery. Feel free to add comments to any pictures you think are interesting. It’s about 2 a.m. I think I’m going to crash now. I’ll update the galleries sometime this week with more pictures.

It looks like my web server is taking a dive this morning. Download speed is ridunkulously slow. I’ll try calling Globat today to get this resolved. Enjoy the new pictures if you are patient. Buwahahaha!
