Thinclient Update & Wordpress Tip

Well, tonight i was thinking about my thinclient and remebered i had a laptop cdrom drive somewhere. After a bit of digging through boxes, i found the drive, and the adapter i bought for it to fix it to the IDE bus :D

So thats that sorted, now i dont have to buy a small CDROM drive :D

A little wordpress tip, I was getting a bit annoyed with the uploaded images being tiny. and found that it can´t be changed directly in the wordpress admin section :( after a bit of hacking around, i found that the relevant file is wp_admin/inline-uploading.php , and lines 82-85. Change from:

if ( $imagedata['width'] > 128 && $imagedata['width'] >= $imagedata['height'] * 4 / 3 )
$thumb = wp_create_thumbnail($file, 128);
elseif ( $imagedata['height'] > 96 )
$thumb = wp_create_thumbnail($file, 96);

to

if ( $imagedata['width'] > 320 && $imagedata['width'] >= $imagedata['height'] * 4 / 3 )
$thumb = wp_create_thumbnail($file, 320);
elseif ( $imagedata['height'] > 240 )
$thumb = wp_create_thumbnail($file, 240);

And the uploaded files will be much bigger, and easier to see :)

New Skin

As you've probably noticed by now, i've put a new skin on wordpress.

I've been meaning to do this for a while now, but can never been arsed :/ Still its done now :D

Its basically my original thinkl33t skin, tweaked to remove the left hand bar and with slightly different colours on the links etc, to make it easier to use.

Next on the list is to add a few little buttons to the sidebar, I need firefox, rss, xhtml, css and creative commons i think
