I tried to go see some fireworks last night but they started a bit early to get to on time so tonight there were some more and this time very conveniently close to my house. The organizers claimed it was the biggest free fireworks display in England and I can easily believe that.
I previously mentioned I am enabling highlighting of search terms on some of my pages, the solution I used there was Google specific. Dave Lemen left a comment on that entry about a javascript he wrote but this one supports multiple search engines and not just Google.
His code can be found here and it is rather nifty. It provides a little legend on top of the page showing what is going on and allowing the user to turn the highlighting on and off on the fly.
I made version 1.1 of my Simple Photo Browser available, this release adds exif support if you have exif compiled into your php.
The white and black themes has been updated with exif support and there are some slight changes in the installation procedure. A sample of the exif support can be seen here

Over the weekend I gave the smtpinvite thing that I found on TechTV’s server a try. The idea is that the primary MX will always defer people – it exist solely for adding sending hosts to a whitelist – when the remote MTA then goes to the secondary it will let the mail through.
This works fine for most MTA’s that I looked at during the few hours I had it up. Sendmail however will not contact the secondaries when it gets a defer message it will just keep trying to talk to the primary on each retry! Surely that is wrong, I have not gone to study the RFC’s but it seems very stupid to me. So unfortunately I had to abandon the idea.
Rainy Days are really unproductive, especially over weekends. It feels like you are being robbed somehow. I took this today out of desperation, and I think I am quite fond of it.
