Martin's Personal Blog and Site

Good evening

I've added a little gallery of pictures of Puss to the front page.

Hope you like it

I'v added some videos to the site over on the Videos page
They're just some videos I wanted to share really, If I find any more videos I find amusing or interesting I'll pop them on there too.

Yesterday the STS-132 Space Shuttle launched, here you can watch all the latest....

I've finally made a youtube account, I just want to see what the embedded player looks like on my site, and here's a video of Puss Puss too, she is a silly pussy...

As you may have noticed I added some java effects to the site, for example on the blender page you can scroll down the images, and when you click on a image a fancy popup shows the larger image.

I'm doing all this to make the best use of space, I only really have the white space under the header to work with, so on the linux page I am adding an accordion type effect to allow me to have multiple pages on one page, otherwise I would have to make lots of php pages for each page I create. I found using the java effects is the best way to achieve this.

you can get the java tools I used at flowplayer.org just click on jQueryTOOLS at the top, they're quite easy to implement and pretty cool.

Good evening,

I've spent all evening putting the videos on my site into this excellent flash player called Flowplayer

You can get it from http://www.flowplayer.org

As you can see, its pretty good

Been playing with blender, check out my blender page

I was just playing with the glass effect and quite liked it, so as I use KDE as my desktop of choice I made a KDE wallpaper.

enjoy

I have sorted out the site now so you can go to https://www.airs.me.uk, although when there's off site content that isn't encrypted then the whole page isn't encrypted.

It uses my CAcert certificate, you can get the root cert from http://www.cacert.org/index.php?id=3

You may be thinking "why the hell would you want to visit this site encrypted?", well your probably right but hey, what the hell, I've got a certificate, why not. Plus is good practice setting it all up.

I usually use thunderbird for my email, but I thought as I use KDE I would try out some native KDE apps.

I'm now using Kmail, after a few minor issues I'm now signing and encrypting email with Kmail.

You can find my public GPG Key on my GPG Key page, I also use CAcert certificates, you can get/import their root cert from http://www.cacert.org/index.php?id=3

Please do send me encrypted email to martin at airs.me.uk

As you can probably see there's a couple more pages in the main menu, I've created a Radio Page with some information about Xastir and my maps.

I'll probably do something along the linux line next

enjoy
