I’ve just checked this site’s comment moderation for the first time in a long time. There have various requests for help getting the slideshow working. As you can see though, it doesn’t even work on my own site. I’m afraid I just don’t have any spare time to fix it. Come back next year!

This site used to be at http://dave.stufftoread.net/ but that’s now proudly sporting some dull adverts, as it is being held ransom by enom.com. They want $200 or so for me to get it back from them because the domain registration expired. Not even remotely likely! So, after 5 years of stufftoread.net, it’s time to settle down here instead.

I don’t know what’s up, but zooomr is returning error pages instead of the favourites and sets pages, and my plugin’s broken as a result. There’s nothing really that I can do at the moment. Follow progress in this discussion thread on Zooomr.

Yesterday I tagged version 0.4 of my slideshow plugin (and 0.93 of the underlying inlinerss plugin), and upgraded this site to use it.
The surprise new feature that I managed to knock together over the weekend is a full-screen mode. It was easy at first, taking a couple of hours on Saturday, but then I looked at it in Internet Explorer and it was a mess. The sooner IE6 is dead, the better. 7 is a huge improvement.

These aren’t the official wedding photos, just mine, don’t worry. I finally got round to uploading them this week, and now here’s the slideshow, after much faffing around.
If you’ve not used it before, click the thumbnails along the bottom, or use the play button and navigation buttons. To see a bigger version of the main picture, click it to go to the detailed Zooomr page for that photo.

I’ve lost count how many times I’ve watched this. Please enjoy!
[ I removed the video cos it was getting in the way of my slideshows. Go see it here instead. ]

With the advent of Zooomr Mark III, all slideshows with photos from Zooomr are broken. I’m not trying to apportion any blame, but I can’t do anything about this until the following things happen over at Zooomr:
- RSS feeds yet to be reinstated.
- Smart sets aren’t working reliably yet. They need some more processing muscle, I believe.
- I can’t find people’s favourites pages any more.
As soon as I notice these getting fixed, I’ll fix my XSLT files, and we’ll be back to normal.
Update 2007/07/14: the RSS feeds from people’s photos pages seem to be working, using rssfeed.xsl.
Update 2007/21/14: zooomr sets are back, and zooomrset.xsl is fixed in the trunk.
Update 2007/22/14: zooomr favourites are back, and my slideshow’s fixed. New post coming soon with details.

If you’ve used Zooomr, go help them out with a small donation. They need new hardware fast to get their latest version up and running. Get the full story here.
Get the donate link at the bottom of this page. We’re trying to give Kristopher a nice surprise when he wakes up in the morning.

If you’re here for the slideshow plugin, please bear in mind that all Zooomr feeds and pages are currently down due to the upgrade to Mark III. I expect a few glitches once the site returns too.
