More birds and some code

In flight If the week could be described in one word I would say “Hot”, in fac this was the hottest week of the summer, temperature was mostly above 45C, Even the garden lizard felt need of a drink. Thankfully yesterday it rained and today temperature has been in the low 40s…

Now that the Mango season is drawing to an end the parrots want to make the best of it. Friday morning I decided that I wanted to capture a parrot in flight, I knew it would be difficult but after nearly 3 hours of efforts, the picture you see on the left is the only displayable picture which I could get out of the several dozen I took.

On the work front things took a break so I decided to try my hand at making a new valid XHTML 1.0 template for Coppermine. “2B or not 2B” was the result, this puts to rest a criticism that Coppermine just cannot output valid HTML etc etc… The theme is dark and very well compliments the mostly dark background pictures that I take.

My flirtations with WordPress continue, swatisani has choosen it for her website but I will wait till

  1. The Pagination plugin works properly
  2. The Coppermine plugin works properly
  3. The Threaded Comments plugin works properly
  4. The LJ Autoupdater plugin works properly

The above is a combination of wishlist and a ToDo, things for which Swati cannot wait will be done by me,  I am also trying to make a plugin which can keep a WordPress install in sync with an LJ account, tags, comments, metadata and everything, duh! whats the point one might say… well what the point anyways πŸ™‚

  • That picture is absolutely amazing. I love it to pieces. Thanks for sharing!

  • “2B or not 2B” does not seem to be available publicly for download πŸ™‚ So is there any other valid XHTML template for coppermine that I can use?
