Gallery Upgrades...

Everytime Gallery breaks on me (which tends to be every time server changes are made by my host, or for some other random reason), I tend to use it as a good reason to do a quick upgrade to the lastest version, this time v1.55pl1. I'm not sure whether to risk going to version 2 yet...

The important files and folders to backup and not to overwrite are:

/albums - all photos etc are here
/html_wrap - all your custom headers and footers are here.
/css - annoyingly they store the default colours here, such as text and background colour - the screen css file is the main one (answered in the gallery 1 faq: why is my gallery blue.
.htaccess
config.php

And then the quickest way to upgrade seems to be to simply replace the root of the gallery folder (and ignore / leave all the other folders on your server as they don't seem to change too much version to version, especially making sure you leave the albums folder as it is, as this is where all the photos and albums are including .users data).

One problem I've never been able to resolve is described here - I've even tried the 777 chmod trick, with no success (the only permanent way of fixing seems to be re-creating the albums, which I'd rather not do, or perhaps I could switch off the error messages?).

So feel free to check out the "upgraded" galleries:
JoshWaller.co.uk Gallery
DigiCamReview Gallery

I've also added random images to the homepage of www.joshwaller.co.uk from the gallery hooray!!

Top 45 Best Things To Do With An Old PC *(26 + 19)

If you're looking for some great things to do with an old or spare PC, then this list is for you. I used to have a website, with lots of PC / computer content on there. One article was 26 things to do with an old 486 PC. Some may still be relevant, but I've decided to list some of the new, interesting, fun, and more modern ideas first. Remember the AMD Athlon XP? Things to do with an old(ish) PC: 1 - Run as an old PC/Dos/Windows Gaming Machine If you're hardcore you may be able to find a 3dfx Voodoo graphics card to play all the old school 3D games. You could use DOSBox to run a DOS emulator on your PC, or alternatively you can start from the beginning and install MS-DOS, and then Windows 95 on top. 2 - Run as an arcade machine / emulator - MAME etc Get MAME and you can emulate an old arcade machine to play original arcade games. Remember GoldenAxe on the Amiga and Atari ST? Well, image it a whole lot better, with the original arcade version. Here's a q...
