WP – an old web address

My blog address used to be windyweather.net/wp but now it’s only windyweather.net

It made more sense when installing wordpress with other services, such as Coppermine, to put wordpress in a subfolder of the site. But now my blog lives on wordpress.com, so it’s at the top level. You will want to update any book marks you have to point to the new address.

Old web addresses see this post. Just click here to go to the blog front page, or click on the header of this page.

I moved the page back to 2006 to get it off the front page.

Web Calendar Public Access

Here are the settings that are working for me to allow public access to my webcalendar for some events. WebCalendar 1.0.4.

I’m still having problems with both public entries being duplicated when both Darrell and Public are participants. This does not occur on a test site that I have, but the live site shows this. Currently I can get around this by only having one participant [public access] for public items. Not sure why the test site shows only one entry and the live site shows two.

WebCalendar import for Chaos Manager

After using Chaos Manager calendar for the past year or so, I wanted to start with a web calendar so I could access the calendar from multiple systems. Web Calendar looks like the simplest and most reasonable free solution based on php and mysql.

After some study, writing a new import method wasn’t that hard. The enclosed zip file contains two modified php files and a new import file. It worked to import about 130 events into WebCalendar 1.0.4.
I never used repeating events, so no provision is made to import repeating events into WebCalendar.

Chaos Manager has some limitations.

  • It cannot be accessed from multiple systems, although it will synch up with a PDA.
  • It does not store event durations, but only an event time.
  • For some reason, Chaos Manager csv files are not comma delimited but semi-colon delimited.

Download the new import code.

Labeling DVDs

Use folder images to label your DVDs and CDs…

Late last year I purchased an Epson R200 printer that can print on CDs and DVDs. I wrote an article over in the boards and showed some pictures.

I’ve been using the printer to label movie DVDs for a while, but the problem of labeling data DVDs has eluded me. Here’s a solution, and since the printer has a high resolution, it works quite well.

data DVD label

Even the full size as rendered here is not easy to read, but the DVD itself can be read quite easily, although you may need to use a loupe to do it.

I just brought up the DVD in the explorer and then did screen cuts from the folder tree. Arranged in a reasonable way around the DVD label, the contents of the DVD are easily summarized. Of course, the best thing to do is also index the DVDs for easy searching later. This article describes my experiences with Google desktop and SpindleSearch.

Gears OpenGL for Linux

Linux program port of Gears for OpenGL begins to work. Not complete, but mostly functioning.

A part of the Geodesic program for WIN MFC and OpenGL has been ported to Linux / KDevelop / Qt / OpenGL. It creates and displays a gear object and there are many parameters to change the shape of the gear. The program will be able to export OBJ or POV files of the shape of the gear. It can serve as a complex tutorial of using OpenGL and many other features of
the KDE and Qt frameworks.
