I’ve lost my mojo…

November 27, 2007

My world fell apart last week when my hard drive crashed that I have ripped all of my CDs to. Now, I’m very lazy when it comes to storing music on my hard drive. Whenever I ran out of space, what I should have done is archive off or delete anything that I don’t listen to anymore. I should have removed all the tracks from albums that I don’t listen to anymore as well. This way, when I went in the bath (Sunday night, obviously) and set my Rythmbox player to random->everything, I wouldn’t get so annoyed that it played either a track I didn’t particularly care for, or a track that is basically white noise, or an ‘interlude’ 30 second track (think K-Billys sounds of the seventies from the reservoir dogs soundtrack).

Ricky Hatton

November 23, 2007

Now, I’m not the biggest boxing fan in the world, however, I have to admit that, despite being a city fan, I do have a lot of time for Ricky Hatton. I’ve seen him on Soccer AM and generally on the news and he looks like a good, sound bloke.

He was the starter for my wave of the Manchester Run one year and my mate (who’d finished in an earlier wave) was walking past him with his lad. So, his lad stopped him and asked if he could have his picture taken and he agreed and waited and then did the same for someone else.

The below is ripped from the bbc.co.uk/manchester website and shows he has a good sense of humour, as I have found many Mancunians possess the same: Read the rest of this entry »

Photographs Online

November 10, 2007

I started this blog as an introduction to my photos which have now been uploaded. There are a couple of albums added, including Dubai 2005, GoApe 2007, Glen’s Stag Do in Warsaw 2007, Glen and Kara’s Wedding 2007, so there’s enough to be started with! I will add more as and when I can.

If you want a copy of any of the photos so you can print them, just email me as I’ve only added low resolution versions so they’ll be no good for printing. Just tell me which album and name you want.

Enjoy…

WPG2:Creating a custom wpg2header.php file

December 7, 2000

WPG2:Creating a custom wpg2header.php file

From WPG2 - Wordpress Gallery2 Plugin

Jump to: navigation, search

[edit] Before you begin

If you need to modify the header.php file of the Wordpress theme to suite your needs, try to do this before proceeding.
It’s recommended that you use a Gallery2 theme which is optimized for Wordpress integration, like the WordpressEmbedded Gallery2 Theme for Gallery 2.1 or the Wordpress Gallery2 Theme for Gallery 2.0.x.
NOTE: Be sure you follow the last step of the procedure below: “Revalidate WPG2 by simply clicking on the WPG2 menu under Wordpess Site Admin.”

[edit] Create wpg2header.php

Make a copy of your Wordpress theme’s header.php file and name it wpg2header.php

 NOTE ONLY FOR WPG2 Releases prior to 2.2
 *Open wpg2header.php and look for:
  <head profile=”http://gmpg.org/xfn/11“>
 *Below this line, add:
  <?php if (isset($g2data[’headHtml’])) {
       list($g2_title, $g2_css, $g2_javascript) = GalleryEmbed::parseHead($g2data[’headHtml’]);
       foreach ($g2_css as $css) { echo “$css rn”; }
       foreach ($g2_javascript as $javascript) { echo “$javascript rn”; }
  } ?>

Look for a line like:

<title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?><?php wp_title(); ?></title>

In the line, replace

<?php wp_title(); ?>

with

<?php echo $g2_title; ?>

Revalidate WPG2 by simply clicking on the WPG2 menu under Wordpess Site Admin

NOTE: Whenever switching between a theme with and a theme without wpg2header (or vice versa), you must revalidate WPG2.

Number of category posts in widget theme

December 6, 2000

I chewed the web to bits trying to find this one, but it’s really easy. All you have to do is change $c = $options[’count’] ? ‘1′ : ‘0′; in wp-includes/widgets.php to:

$c = $options[$number][’count’] ? ‘0′ : ‘1′;

So easy, and so much better (I think)…
