Adventures with Computers
I’m currently working on a new Danish website called
Gymnet. So far I’ve had the pleasure
of implementing the design according to the graphics-people’s wishes.
That’s hopefully something that only needs to be done once :-)
Later we’ll make all sorts of fancy features in PHP. But it’s still under construction (we began this Monday), so don’t expect too much here in the beginning.
I’ve made my Eterms transparent, so they show the background through. But the background that the Eterms show is the one set by enlightenment, and that’s not visible thanks to efm that covers the desktop.
So, what is there to do? Simple, you just set the background in enlightenment to the same as the one in efm — problem solved.
First you’ll need the theme for
Eterm, put this in your $HOME/.Eterm/themes/Eterm. Now your
Eterms should start up transparent.
The MySQL-database is up and running again. This means that my Danish history-project “Kongemagtens betydning i vikingetiden“ works again. It depended on the database, where I kept the information about the images. The old database was wiped out when I swiched to the new server — it’s now restored from my local copy.
I’ve now made the source-code of all my pages available. Just click on the link at the bottom of the pages. That will take you to a page where you can see the source — fully color-coded thanks to PHP!
I’ve made the source public, because I feel that the best way to learn something new, like PHP, is to see what others have done. So now you can have a look at how I’ve done things and hopefully learn something. On the other hand, if you happen to be a real PHP-guru, then don’t hesitate to point out where I’ve made mistakes, and how I’ve should have done something. I’m still learning.
We returned very early this morning (at 2:30 AM) from our trip to Bornholm.
We had a wonderful week there. The weather was nice most of the time, so we walked around the rocky terrain quite a bit. It was kind of funny to walk in a forest, and then seeing cliffs sticking out of the earth, when you’re not used to it.
I also read two books while I was there, “Rendezvous with Rama” and “Rama II”. “Rama II” is the sequel to “Rendezvous with Rama”. I read them in just a couple of days — they were that good. Arthur C. Clarke is a fantastic writer, read these books (and also the follow-ups: “The Garden of Rama” and “Rama Revealed”. I haven’t read those yet) and you’ll be amazed yourself.
