linux.ie site updates

Thursday, May 19th, 2005

Pushed some updates to the linux.ie website again:
A persons name on the CD Burners page now links to the relevant Who’s Who entry.
Made other changes which should result in slightly quicker download times and make things easier to add polls to the site – which I used to have to do by hand.

Changelog as follows:
2005-05-16 Ken Guest:
* polls: got recount’s tooltips working
* saverights.php:working with register globals turned off

2005-05-15 Ken Guest:
* polls: upgraded to recount 0.5.3 and integrated it into system better: no need to manually create pages for each new poll.

2005-05-12 Ken Guest:
* whoswho: include the name of person in the page’s title
* cdburners.inc.php: name links to Who’s Who page now
* $library/whos_who.php: added functions for above functionality
* nav.inc.php: removed use of JavaScript hosted on blogs.linux.ie

grad*.gif images got renamed – cut down bandwidth and speed up transfers ever so slightly.

v1.28E firmware for iRiver H300 series

Friday, May 6th, 2005

A few weeks ago iRiver released firmware v1.28 for the iRiver H300 series player, giving the player the ability to playback WAV files, display the current time, support subdirectories of the TEXT folder and adds a miscellany of minor bug fixes.

The bar histogram as regards the volume setting is now visible when changing the loudness of the player, afterwards the current time is displayed in its place.

It would be lovely to see support for RTF or HTML formatted eBooks, in addition to support for plain text files, but I have to say I’m more than pleased with the new firmware.
