My Gallery

Posted by geetarista November 29, 2005

I’ve been trying to decide what type of photo gallery to start using for my website, and it’s been a hard decision. There are so many options: Zenphoto, PhotoStack, WPG2, Plogger, and eSPG. I installed all of them and started to test them out. I liked all of them a lot–it’s just finding the right one to work with my blog perfectly. Well, I decided to use Plogger in the end because it was fairly small, it looks nice, and it works perfectly with my site. It took me a while to work it into the site, but I found an article called Integrating Plogger that helped my put into Wordpress. I don’t have any pictures put up yet except for some random ones of Angee as a test. So my new photo gallery can be found at photos.

Ariel Atom

Posted by geetarista November 28, 2005

I don’t remember where I found this, but here is a cool link from the Top Gear TV show on the Ariel Atom.  The Atom is wicked fast!  I wish we could get something like that here in the states!

Down with Internet Explorer

Posted by geetarista November 27, 2005

Google is now offering $1 for every referral to a Firefox download. This is most likely to push open source development as well as their Google Toolbar for Firefox. The Google Firefox Refferral topic will show you how to set this up. Personally, I’m glad everyone is anti-Internet Explorer! It doesn’t even compare to Firefox, which is faster, prettier, more extendable, and more functional! If you hate Internet Explorer, check out these other anti sites: Explorer Destroyer, Kill Bill’s Browser, Drop Internet Explorer, and Alternative Browser Alliance.

Paint.NET

Posted by geetarista November 26, 2005

I found a cool little image editing software for free that I really liked. It is a program written by students from Washington State University called Paint.NET.  It looks like it will be a future replacement to the Paint program that Windows always has.  Since I don’t do any major graphic designing, this program is perfect for me with all of the features that it has!

Nerd Test

I found a Nerd Test that I thought was pretty funny today. I just wanted to try it out and see what I got. Here’s my score below:

I am nerdier than 35% of all people. Are you nerdier? Click here to find out!

Blue Screen of Death

Posted by geetarista November 24, 2005

Microsoft will forever be (in)famous with their wonderful Blue Screen of Death. Anyone who has ever used Microsoft Windows, including Bill Gates himself, has had to deal with the Blue Screen. Well, I found a website with a bunch of photos of the Blue Screen of Death in public places. It looks like it happens a lot more than I thought!

1 Terabyte E-mail

Posted by geetarista November 23, 2005

With Gmail upping its storage to more than 2 GBs, other companies are looking to make those “little” numbers obsolete. Over at MailNation Solutions, you can now get storage at 1 TB! I don’t know what someone could ever do with that much storage space–but you could if you wanted to! If you want more fancy features than the free version, you can upgrade to a better account for a one-time fee of $29.99.
