How to fix Gallery2 keyword albums matching the wrong keywords

I have been working on a bug in Gallery2 for longer than I care to say. The problem is that in the dynamic keyword album in Gallery2, it will match more keywords than it should.

For example if you visit the "man" keyword album you will also get the "woman" keyword album in the results, as well as anything else that has the word "man" in it.

Another example, which is taken from a real-life situation, the dynamic keyword album "Wind" was also matching the keyword "Wind generation".

Build ATI driver in OpenSuse

I had to install the ATI driver in OpenSuse on my old desktop computer because its running a RadeonHD 2600 Pro AGP. However nothing I would try would work. So I had to build a package for it. Unfortunately I would keep getting an error that the build failed. I let it go on like this for far too long... until now.

Funny thing was that when I had windows on this computer ages ago ATI never did make a proper driver for it. I had to modify their PCI-E driver for it to add in my AGP device codes so it would actually recognize it and install. Seemed to work fine though.

Syncing a local folder to a remote folder in Linux

I occasionally find myself wanting to sync a local folder with a remote folder in Linux and I just found a way to do it that I really like so I had to get it written out some place so that I remember it next time.

In this particular instance I was trying to figure out why there were a few more files on the remote server than there were in the original directory I uploaded them from. It really didn't make sense and due to having over 6500 files I couldn't figure out which ones were different by looking at them. In this case the files are all images for a photographers gallery.

Python multiple installs

I wanted to save this for future reference.

I installed Python 2.6.5 along side of 2.4 in CentOS 5.4

The thing is it apparently can't overwrite 2.4 because then it may mess up yum and other things. So here is what I did.

Install Python 2.6.5

Download and extract Python 2.6.5 from http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6.5/

In the shell run:

# ./configure --prefix=/usr/lib/python2.6
# make
# make altinstall

This install python2.6 into its own folder at /usr/lib/python2.6

Create a link for the python2.6 executable:

Better Junk/Spam Filtering in Thunderbird in 20 Steps

mootools.js error: el.set is not a function

Have you ever had this error? Maybe you are coming to see what the fix is to this crazy error?

Well I have discovered it!

I discovered that you can actually fix this by making jQuery and MooTools work together again.

First you have to add an extra line to your page. Insert this usually right above your </head > tag:

<script type="text/javascript">jQuery.noConflict();</script>

Note that you must place this after you include your jQuery javascript files but before mootools scripts are executed.

ICQ and Windows right to left text alignment.

Ok lately I have decided to go back to the old ICQ. Why? Because MSN really sucks in comparison. It doesnt save my history properly, it doesnt send files very fast at all, and it doesn't have the abilities to search up new people like ICQ. It doesn't really have anything that ICQ does. It sucks! I really don't know why people switched to MSN, at least my friends anyway. It really really sucks! I wish you would all switch back. I still have my old ICQ # from back in the day.

So I finally decided I should have my own website with my name on it. This will not be a website specifically about me but rather one from me. One that people who know my name will know how to find easily and one where I can post anything I want on and not be about any specific subject.

Feel free to sign up and create your very own account, post in the forums, comment on posts etc.

It isn't a site for me but more like this is me, you are in my world and in my life. Come say "Hi" since you are right there in front of me =)
