  • Gallery is fixed.

    My old gallery is fixed now…
    debating on writing a new gallery, or make a plugin for wordpress to have a gallery.
    How the plugin would work…
    1.) Create a keyword, to enable the gallery.
    2.) grab uploaded files, that are images via mime type, and display them.
    3.) display the images via lightbox2, or something else that’d be suitable.
    4.) Get titles, and descriptions for files
    Pretty handy utility, not much else needed. All the hard parts are already handled by WP.

  • Ubuntu + Mysql setup

    Wow, that was so painless.
    Original Post
    Use your favourite means to install mysql, probably apache, php, phpmysqladmin as well…

    sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start
    mysqladmin -u root password myPassword

    where myPassword is your actual password.
    to test
    mysql -u root -p
    enjoy
