Updated the photogallery after a long time

Filed under: Website Updates — Suramya @ 11:08 PM

Today I went through my image folder and sorted it out properly, so now I can actually find photos I am looking for without searching in multiple locations (My desktop, laptop and website).

Once I was done with that I uploaded the following photos to the photogallery:

Still have a lot more pics to post. Will do that when I get some more free time.

GimpShop Debian Installer Ver 2.2.11 Port Available

Created this a couple of weeks ago but forgot to mention it here. This is a debian package installer (.deb) for GimpShop Ver 2.2.11. I tried it on my system and it worked and I haven’t gotten any complaints so far… So I guess it works 😉 Let me know if you have some trouble with it.

Get it from: GIMPShop Debian Package Installer (Ver 2.2.11 Port) [Note: The package is not working at this time. Will fix it and update soon – Sur]

I am also in the process of updating the GimpShop installation guide (To install it from source) but you will have to wait for it a little bit longer…

CollageGen Ver 0.5 released

Filed under: Software Releases,Tech Related,Website Updates — Suramya @ 5:13 PM

Released Version 0.5 of the Collage Generator. This time the source code for the script is also available for download at the site.

I do have a working demonstration page but it don’t works if one person uses it at a time, because it queues up each request it recieves and process it in a FIFO (First In First Out) format, so if too many people are using it at the same time the page time’s out. Will probably switch to a threaded model to allow parallel processing of requests.

ChangeLog:

  • Rewrote the Backend Script to speed up the collage generator faster
  • Added XML-RPC support to allow better communication between the frontend and the backend

Your Feedback/Comments would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Suramya

Knowledge.suramya.com merged with main blog

Filed under: Website Updates — Suramya @ 12:07 PM

Hi Everyone,
After thinking a lot about it I have decided to discontine the knowledge.suramya.com blog and instead use this blog to store everything. So I have merged all posts from Knowledge.suramya.com into this blog.

Feel free to post your comments about this decision. Please use the search box on the right side to find the stuff you were looking for when you ended up at this page. Alternatively, you can just browse the Knowledgebase category find all the entries from Knowledge @suramya.com (plus the entries added since then).

Thanks,
Suramya

Ver 0.3 of getHype released

Filed under: Software Releases,Website Updates — Suramya @ 1:49 AM

After a long delay Ver 0.3 of getHype has been finally released.

Change Log

Ver 0.3: (11th Dec 2005):

* getHype now gets the list of mp3’s to download from the RSS feed instead of getting them from the GetHype frontpage.
* The files are now downloaded using the LWP perl module instead of using wget. So its a bit more secure/safer.
* Added an option to let the user set the network timeout in seconds.

Check it out and let me know what you think.

Thanks,
Suramya

Updated the feedback scripts

Filed under: Website Updates — Suramya @ 1:54 AM

Got tired of the feedback spam, I was literally getting ~20 entries in my guesbook a day that just contain links to porn sites and poker sites etc. Added some more code to make it difficult for automated submissions from suceeding. Lets hope it works. If not I will have to add some sort of test (like the one used by yahoo and other sites to prevent automated creation of accounts) to the section.

Let me know if you have any problems with the feedback section.

Thanks,
Suramya
