AtomIC Album Online

BySteve March 1, 2001

Whilst not exactly a DearDiary announcement, this is to let people know that the AtomIC Album is now online, after days of last minute development and testing. Its cost a fortune, but it came out on time and on budget (mostly cos we didn’t have a deadline and definitely no budget ;-))

Also, as a result, if you want to include a picture in your diary you can do so without knowing HTML at all…. Simply include something that looks like the following;

[album 1 lakwal20.jpg]

Would produce;

[album 1 lakwal20.jpg]

and [album 1 lakwal20.jpg thumblink]

will produce a thumbnail of the picture, with a link to the larger picture, like this;

[album 1 lakwal20.jpg thumblink]

Anyone can view the pictures, only Premium Account holders can actually have an album.

The software is version 1.00 – that means to say that we know it is missing a LOT of features. We have a lot in the pipeline to come on with it, for example the ability to group images into logical categories (each author will be able to configure their own category), and improvements to the Search interface. But in the interests of getting it online after Geocities stopped allowing people to link to their images, its there and useable…

Go take a look at album.atomic-systems.com🙂

BySteve January 5, 2004

This subject comes up occasionally, and I’m just going to re-iterate what has been said before… We will not be deleting old diaries unless the author specifically asks us. The aim of DearDiary when it was originally started still holds true and that is to chronicle the passage of time through the eyes of ordinary…

Database Failure Overnight

BySteve January 28, 2004

The database failed overnight leaving the service completely dead about 5 minutes after I went to bed. A query which went bad brought the server down by locking all the tables while it attempted to join together millions of rows (actually probably 100’s of millions of rows) which ran all night and actually never returned….

Warning of Incompatible Feature Change

BySteve January 3, 2004

I am presently working on a new ‘friends’ system that will ultimately (and fairly shortly I hope) replace the current Notification System. The idea is pretty simple, you can assert yourself as a friend of a diarist, and at that time you will be able to state whether you wish to receive notifications or not….

First Small(ish) Problem

BySteve December 11, 2003

It appears that PHP is causing seg faults within the web server (nothing much new there, it always did look like a buggy PoS ;)) so you may find on occasions that the web site doesn’t respond like it should. I shall look into what, if anything, I can do to fix it (given that…

Personal Page Now Fixed

BySteve December 19, 2003

The Personal page is now fixed – sorry about that! In order to increase security, you must login to that page seperately, even if you were already logged in to DearDiary (this is because the DearDiary.Net login system does not permit you to logout even if you leave it idle for 3 days! Which means…
