Goodbye FooGallery. Hello CSS gallery.

It’s time to say goodbye FooGallery.

We know it’s a little back and to back to be talking about this plugin again after we just simply turned off the Videos in our previous blog. But to keep things short and sweet for everyone reading quickly here. This blog has not disabled a beautiful, but expensive both in cost and bandwidth plugin in WordPress. That we’re not stopping with just video. We’re ripping it all out:

  • FooGallery
  • Foobox

SVG fun in WordPress.

Binturong Title in SVG

S-Config Site Icon.Using SVG’s within your website.

To some that have been reading for a while now you may be thinking that I’m going to introduce something new or revolutionary that will change the landscape of website design. When the truth is. This is actually an old standard that’s been around but should have been implemented a long time ago. It’s just for security reasons WordPress blocks this format by default.

So, we’re going to unblock it on our site and use it. To those who have visited my front page and/or art section chances are a vector has been uploaded and presented to you on your browser like the icon on the right.

Pine64 – PiHole – ChammelstrationMiser 4720K?!?!

Pine64 Revival ChammelStrator page header image.

4 years sitting in a desk drawer and now my Pine64 is back online.

A long time ago we did a review of a Kickstarter project known as the “Pine64.” It was a $15 dollar arm processor board that came out after the Pi 2 in 2015. We were not one of the super-early backers and thus we got a 2016 board just like everyone else. When we did the review it wasn’t overly favorable because during that era everyone was trying to “Kickstarter” their project but no one really had good foresight as to how to handle their product AFTER it was “kickstart’ ed” for lack of a better word. We had hopes that in due time the OS would get more stable and these Pi’s that carry the Mali400 GPU chip-sets would get useful again. So did it? Quick answer – Yes and No. Read on and if you want to know more.

Teletext Mayhem.

Teletext madness header image.

Teletext is REAL! Even in the future-past of 20A7!

There are better sites out there that would give you an accurate description of Teletext. Like I could link you the Wiki right here. We stumbled upon this form of art when doing research on InfoChammel which is Public/Private cable access gone completely insaneĀ (In a good way). But a short summary for those who don’t want to go clicking around is Teletext was a graphical and information standard developed in the UK during the 1970s as a means of delivering content and information over the air. It didn’t really take off in America due to too many fights over how the standard of Teletext should be displayed. Read on if you would like to know more.

PNG and JPG Compression – Part 2

PNG and JPEG Optimization Title for Blog entries

Some more hot PNG and now JPG compression fun!

A while back I did a quick article about PNG compression. Looking back on it. We have to admit that it was a rather weak and lackluster approach to compression. We could easily go back and amend our newest discoveries but the discussion of compression expands into multiple formats. So lets dive right into what’s going on with this site and probably every WordPress generated site in existence and why compression is all around good for you.
