Links again

I'll add a few more [Links] again. There were a few which I'd forgotten about. There's probably more coming too.

[Slashdot]
I don't know how this one was left out. I used to read it daily! But now it's back, so all is well again.

[Wikipedia]
Here's what the Internet knows. If you don't know about this site, you're missing out on... knowledge, and stuff.

[Dictionary.com]
This is how great this site is. I tried looking for "supercalifragilisticexpialidocios", and it was nice enough to explain to me that it was actually spelled "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious". Now I know.

Galleries!

Alright! I've added a new feature to this blog. I mentioned earlier about plans to add galleries. Guess what! Galleries!

It works like this; any page in the shared folder can turn into a gallery. The script automagically looks for jpeg images. If these exist, and thumbnail versions of the same images exist, they are added to the gallery. It checks for a gallery.txt file too. That is where the gallery title, description and image comments are, but that file is not necessary.

[Gallery of Börje]
I've added my first gallery. It's obviously featuring my cat, who is always in the line of fire when I whip out my camera.

This is what the Internet is

Added some more links to the [Links] section:

[365 Free Games]
I haven't tried them yet but I figured I'll save them for a rainy day. Most of them seem to be simple arcades but that's all good too. I did try the slapping game. Not my thing.

[MySQL manual]
This went under Programming. I don't know if you can call SQL queries programming, but whatever. There's no better header to put it under.

About this

Enough about me, let's talk about The Nailbox!

[The Nailbox] is my website. I don't remember when I got it, but it's basically a directory on my sisters domain. The only consistent thing this website has been for since it began has been to store my [Links]. Other than that, I've used it for sharing photos and other stuff, experimenting with web programming, and that's basically it. This blog is probably the twentieth remake of The Nailbox.

About me

2008-07-22 20:25 by Nailbar
And now a little about me. I've had that [About] link in the menu for a few days but with no content, so someone might be wondering, like, wtf? Not that anyone reads this blog, but still.

I call myself Nailbar for no particuar reason. It started out as Nail because my old nick was taken and I didn't bother to think about a better name. Later I figured that Nail was actually a pretty silly nick to use, so I modified it into something more name-like. Ta-daa! Earlier not-so-great nicknames were Argyle and Dim Ferret. Yeah.

Anyhow, I'm a forestry engineer and I work with programming in my old school (Never got very far from that place). I am married, since two years back, and live with my wife and cat in Finland.

Plenty more where this came from

[Deezer]
I'm not sure how this is categorized, but there's free music, legal (don't know how they managed that), so play it while it lasts.

[Novia]
This one is filed under "Work". It's where I work at this moment. It's not really that important when it comes to this blog, but I sometimes use that link.

[Naturegate]
Here's something I'm affiliated in. It's not the web site this time. I'm not that good at designing. I'm responsible for a map thingy which is not publicly available yet.

Apart from Slackware, I'm also using other distros, or helping others with their distros. I'm also keeping an eye out for new stuff, so here are a few Linux related links not specifically pointing to Slackware stuff:
