I just moved my experimental work with Picasa web albums live. Hit the gallery link in the top navigation.

Incorporating with Picasa makes the task of resizing and uploading images trivial when using F-Spot in Linux. I used to dread the resizing sessions. Now I can just multi-select images and hit export.

Awesome.

The old galleries (Gallery2) are still available. Links are at the bottom of the new gallery page.

I have been using Linux and SSH for years now and I'm surprised I have not yet needed to create an SSH tunnel. The need for the tunnel was to connect to a remote PostGRES database that didn't allow remote connections.

What I did was create a tunnel from my local port 5432 to the remote server's port 5432 over SSH. The command looked like this:

ssh -L 5432:192.168.15.75:5432 root@192.168.15.75 -p 2222 -N

Where 192.168.15.75 is the remote machine. 5432 is the PostGRES port and 2222 is the SSH port.
It worked first try!

I've been digging through some of my old photos and came across this beauty. That was an amazing trip!

This has me itching to ride again.

Yet again, IE 6 CSS is on my plate today at work. Drop-down menus specifically. Always interested in getting my work done in the least amount of effort I hit the Internet up for a better IE 6 fix all.

My expectations were low, but behold! I came across this gem from Peter Nederlof appropriately named Whatever:hover.

The biggest problem with IE 6 is that it doesn't support the :hover selector for anything other than an anchor. What this fix does is this: ( quoted from the site)

• Search all stylesheets for :hover rules IE doesn't support
• Insert a new rule IE does support, like one with class names
• and finally, set up script events for switching class names

I implemented this expecting to have to do at least some customization, but again, I was pleasantly surprised that it just worked! A big thanks to Peter for making web developers' lives a little easier.
