There should be an image gallery just above this: some still captures of the visuals I mix. There should also be a couple of random images in the sidebar.

Over the past few days I’ve been tidying up the contents of my webserver. The other day I noticed that the gallery was broken, and it took a little while to sort out whatever the problem was. Changed some directory permissions and server settings, and upgraded to the latest version of the software. I’ve deleted some unused CMS’s and their databases, made some database backups, and upgraded WordPress. I’ve had a play with some WordPress settings, like running a second blog off the same content folder (containing plugins and themes, etc), changing themes, using Widgets, and installing some new plugins, most notably a gallery plugin – something I really needed to get sorted to be able to post photos in some sort of nice manner. I managed to wreck the second blog for a while, and delved into some PHP programming to see what was going wrong. It sorted itself out in the end.

I’ve also revised some tags and categories for existing posts in this blog: the Subpixel category should now take you to all posts that are about me, gig’s I’ve performed at (subcategory Subpixel’s Gigs), or that have creations (subcategory Creations) to show such as photos, graphics, videos, and software (eg Flash, Processing).

There is something wrong with the Flash plugin I’m testing out (pb-embedFlash), which I was rather hoping to use to embed videos and Flash animations. I might try working on a filter to embed (or at least link to) Processin sketches… but one thing at a time – first I need to create some more Processing examples! I’ve come up with a simple solutions for what to do with multiple hosted sketches (applets) to get around the problem I mentioned earlier of there being a heavy download for the OpenGL libraries: just have everything in one directory, with the index.html file from the generated applet folder renamed to have the sketch name. So simple it might just work.
