I’ve been working a bit on the stats pages from phpwebgallery, this improved the speed for me from about 10 seconds page loads to 1 second page loads. Added a quick hack to not count googlebot and msnbot hits ( by ip ). If you are interested look at my patch patch-stats-1.5.2.diff.

Tested everythiny on our installation of phpwebgallery on http://www.sfnet.tv/FotoBoek/

I had some time to see why you could not post with the chinese painting theme. I missed the smilies plugin

so I had 2 options:

1 put a remark before the smilies_clickable in comments.php, but then have no smilies
2 install the smilies plugin, which I eventually did.

So now the theme I really like is back.

Changed theme back to the default, as we noticed the nice chinese flavored theme could not post comments.

Been working on some applications again today using AJAX with the great library xajax. Look over at http://www.xajaxproject.org/ and give it a try.

Unfortunately I ran into a lot of trouble when I tried to run the app designed with firefox in Internet Explorer ( who would have thought.. ). It seems that one of the security fixes incorporated in Windows XP makes IE lose 2 file handles every time when you try to assign an innerhtml an img src or an href. I have been able to replace the innerhtml with dom logic to assign text directly. I hope microsoft will release an update soon so it won’t crash IE after an hour or 2.

Lost a lot of time just because i needed to alter artwork as IE did not correctly display it the way I needed it. So anybody who might me reading this, ( since i started 2 days ago, noboday has ) please switch to a browser with better support and les bugs. Please use f.e. firefox, safari, opera or another mozilla based browser.

Not much today, we have been playing guildwars and saw the teasers (2 knew quest’s in Lion’s arch ) to the new faction’s add-on. If you do not know what I am talking about head on over to http://www.guildwars.com and see for yourself.

As a lot of people on the net, i also felt the urge to put my musings online. So here it is. Knowing myself, i will not post daily. Just a few quick pointers. Look at http://www.sfnet.tv/ for information about me and my family. Visit http://www.tai-ji.nl/ for my favorite sport.
