I now have rather small quantities of website at http://chess.publication.org.uk/ - there are a few index pages and a ton of photos and (old) Haylar strips in folders accessed by everyone's favourite, the Apache directory listing. I need a decent gallery thing to string them together in a vaguely meaningful manner with, rather than just 'oh, and here are some photos'. I wonder who I need to kill to steal Poohsoc's, which produces only slightly unpleasent URLs and supports catagorising by occasion and people, which the 'People' and 'Me' sections could certainly do with.

Some new content would probably also be a bonus, but I guess the photos count for that; most of them weren't up there before, and the different sizes make them vaguely more convenient to look at.

Spent far too much on clothes today. Apparently I'm not allowed to just wear my old clothes until they actually fall apart, rather than just looking vaguely faded and slightly bobbly. Oh well. Need to get into town and troll charity shops for more LARP kit, but I don't have the time. (Time when I'm awake and/or the shops are open, I mean.)

I appear to have forgotten half of the maths that I did know, which is awkward. Also, I have a question on complex numbers to do, which I'm too stupid to do, despite looking things up in a textbook *and* online. And now my arm hurts again, so I'll be going and fetching some food, I think.

Some of them PoohSoc ones are mine. I hereby give permission to nick 'em and use them for your own evil ends. So there.

I already have stolen many photos, hence the disclaimer on the index page :). I'm working on the 'if people don't complain I leave them up' principle, as I don't think any of the sources will currently mind (they're pictures of *me* that I've stolen, anyhow, not just random ones) and the photos don't currently have their own pages for the attributing of sources.

What I want to steal is the gallery code itself, which I can't be bothered to work out how to steal (and am not sure is quite stealable from the information given).

I believe the relavent code is written, owned and run by Owen.

Michelle, I really must complain. I have a set of webpages developed for, and devoted to, parodying your narcissim page, and you no longer have such a page!

(Incidently, thumb nails are really only useful when you have a page that will display them all. I mean as pictures, not as files.)

[chess]

Yes, yes, I know; I meant to have a page with the thumbnails on, but I haven't got around to doing it yet, due to the nagging feeling that I ought to be able to generate it automatically rather than sitting down and editing a directory listing into a webpage.

Write a script which will take your (local) directory listing, and make such a page?

Certainly well within the bounds of an hour or so prodding Python (and most of that for stylistic reasons...)

I had a play; if you want to use it (it's not in python, so you probably wont), get it here (which goes all pretty in Firebird).

Sadly I haven't been able to retrieve all the captions, so you'll need the pinkstuff backup for that.

Hope it's helpful.

Whee! Thanks a lot! Now at least I have a vaguely coherent navigational thing...
