If you know a little javascript, below is a small walk through of the widget code.


<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.sen6.net/static/js/widget.js" charset="utf-8"></script>


You can place this script tag either in the head section of the html page, or as the last line of the body section to improve page load performance.


<s6:gallery id="60006" rows="1" cols="2" size="200" border="1"></s6:gallery>


You can place as many s6:gallery tags in your html page where you want to display the gallery widget. It has several attributes to control it’s layout. You can set the number of rows, columns, size of a thumbnail and whether the widget should have a border or not. I hope these settings are self explanatory. Lets embed another widget with a different layout in this same post.

We hope you find this feature useful in bringing e-commerce into your websites and blogs and provide an easy shopping experience for lovers of your art. I look forward to your feedback and queries.

Yet Another New Day. Yet Another New Start.

• The Holy Trail: http://the-holy-trail.blogspot.com/

Version 3:
Changed The Hol Trail to a FTP setup posting to http://blogs.vinuth.com/the-holy-trail/

Version 4:
Switched The Holy Trail to WordPress. That was a hard decision to make And it did involve compromises… One was I couldn’t find as pretty a theme as on my blogger blog. Two, I had to let go of it’s poetic description since wordpress taglines are single lines… Three, customizing themes on blogger was a lot lot easier. And many more hardships for leaving the comfy blogger… Was it worth it? Nothing major in the look and feel of the blog… I suspect, I could have achieved it with blogger too. But I guess it was more to do with ideas of control over my content, the innumerable plugin system that I had come to like on firefox and just plain curiosity. For all the hardships in migration, my gut feeling was wordpress has to be better and it has to be right, because it’s doing it the right way.

Version 5:
Fragmentation of blogs into 3 different ones intended to portray different persona separated  from each other… Tech (La Gubya), Personal (The Holy Trail) and Random/Political/General Interactions/Theories/Opinions (Gaa Gaa Gubbi)

Version 6:
Everything including the older blogger blogs and the newer wordpress blogs aggregated here as LaGubya. Going forward however, I’ll put up personal updates and photographs on http://vinuth.com/ which will aggregate other data from various places like twitter, delicious, youtube… anything new that might come up and of course, content from this blog.

Today, I’m a happy wordpress user. I smiled looking at my first blog post about how I was trying to do everything as much as possible for free… and that what I was looking for is to have a website kind of thing rather than a blog… That quest is still on btw but over http://vinuth.com/ I now want to have a proper blogging platform and then a website where I can aggregate all my content on. The needs keep changing from time to time… and many things hadn’t even existed in my world view back when I started off.

I payed for my domain then and everything else was free.

I’m now paying for my hosting, since I realized free ones were pathetic in their reliability and stability. But a really decent hosting option had a lott of features that I didn’t really need. So, after hopping over a couple of hosting providers, I finally, half heartedly, switched to a hosting provider recommended by wordpress at dreamhost and they had an irresistible offer on the occassion of Obama’s election

I’m now paying for my blog theme, on which once upon a time I would spend countless hours customizing, making them flexible width, changing fonts, sizes, colors, and sometimes making entirely new layouts, before deciding the theme really isn’t that good as a base to start off with and then starting all over again off another theme… I still spend hours on them, even after paying, but not as much.

I’m not paying for my wordpress

I’ll close with the poetic description of The Holy Trail:

~* The Holy Trail *~

From what I see, from where I stand,
Spreads the vast and vibrant land.

A wish to see the valley deep,
Up the wavy long lanes leap,
Hmm…. miles to go before I sleep.

A song to hum till bright lights pale,
Picking and peeking, off I sail,
Along there, lies the holy trail….

I liked the “miles to go before I sleep” line from the time I first heard it

My goodie good friend here has tagged me Was scared of getting tagged fearing what beans need to be spilled. But she is a good person and the rules are manageable. So Thanks !!

1. Family: Conversation snippets with my Maa.

2. Friends: umm, well nothing here. But I guess I can fit this by slightly bending the rules

3. Myself: This and this and the current post.

4. Love: Hmmm. I’m a frustrated, shy, introvert single person. What can one expect here? But yeah I’ve a huge crush list with around >25 girls (very very nice ladies) in it. From the top of my head they would be Shreya Ghoshal, Vidya Balan, Asin, Shriya, Deepika, Priyanka Chopra, Amrita Rao, Rimi Sen, Sonali, Soha, Sonam… Now don’t think it’s all local girls in my list. The international list includes, but not limited to: Kate Winslet, Scarlett Johansson, Bridget Moynahan, Keira Knightley, Avril Lavigne, Anne Hathaway, Jennifer Aniston, Rachel Weisz, Natalie Portman …

And not to forget, the best living queen: Rania Al-abdullah.

You get the picture. 

5. Anything I like: Hmm.. I like to pakav… about philosophical things… i.e., intellectual masturbation… You can find some here, here and here. Lots of em spread across Orkut communities. And then I’m an internet addict… you can follow my online trails on my main site here.

Now… time for breaking some rules Don’t want to tag anyone, since I know them personally quite well. But if I have to… then I’ll tag Smruti and Siva. Well, Smruti is a guy… in case you were wondering.

Music Pattern:

People who know me say I’m sadistic, which I’ve always denied. And still do

Personality Pattern:

This, I actually took countless times to get the result I wanted
So, take it with a grain of salt.

I liked their new revision of music patterns and their integration with imeem is awesome. It recommended me songs that surprised me. There were a couple of Hindi songs too. I wished they scrobbled songs I played to last.fm to which they link to in the profile.

If you have time and patience, do give it a try…. just to amuse yourself

Update: Their embed feature sucks. Need to click through to their site to actually view them.

Languages/VM/Libraries:

• Erlang/OTP
• J

Platforms:

• Facebook Application Platform
• OpenSocial

Protocols:

• XMPP
• ATOM Pub/Sub

It is a tool that helps organizing online learning, make notes, annotate and do a whole lot of other things. One feature I like a lot is it’s offline functionality. It lets me take snapshot of a page and not just bookmark it, which means I can view the page as it existed when I read it. I can make offline annotations on it, highlight certain sections, add my notes and add files of any type which I want to be linked with the page.

Though one may be overwhelmed by the amount of features it gives, they are all features which I had wished for at one time or the other. With a closer look, it turned out to be not-so-overwhelming, but quite intuitive and non-intrusive, so I see and do just as much as I would like to. It also tries to recognize the content I am browsing and shows corresponding options and automates information extraction. It can help while browsing library sites, google scholar, amazon, etc. I am yet to try these features out.

Also on their roadmap is adding an online account where all the organized content can be put and shared with others. They have APIs for other sites to build apps on top of this.

Anybody who spends lot of time online, learning, will find this plugin very useful. Try it out !!
