Category: Thomas Frost @ 11:29 AM

sorry for the missing description. I will might but it on later

Resources

http://www.gmarwaha.com/jquery/jcarousellite/

http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-en/browse_thread/thread/9fec8a1746945bd2

index.htm

<script src="jcarousellite_1.0.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<ul class="paging"></ul>
// build links  
var itemArray = new Array();
$('.carousel ul').each(function(i) {
    var carouselNavDivs = $('ul.paging');
    $(carouselNavDivs[i]).append('<li class="prev"><a><<</a></li>');
    $(this).children().each(function(j) {
        itemArray[j] = "." + j;
        var linkNum = 0;
        linkNum = j + 1;
        $(carouselNavDivs[i]).append("<li class='" + j + "'><a>" + linkNum + "</a></li>");
    });
    $(carouselNavDivs[i]).append('<li class="next"><a>>></a></li>');
});

$(function() {
    $(".carousel").jCarouselLite({
        btnNext: ".next",
        btnPrev: ".prev",
        btnGo: itemArray,
        circular: false,
        visible: 1
    });
});

jcarousellite_1.0.1.min.js

if (o.btnGo)
    $.each(o.btnGo, function(i, val) {
        $(val).click(function() {
            $.each(o.btnGo, function(i, val) {
                $(val).removeClass('active');
            });
            $(this).addClass('active');
            return go(o.circular ? o.visible + i : i);
        });
    });

 

Still needs to be able to select current when using prev/next

Google Buzz, Googles answer to a social network

Category: Other Thomas Frost @ 04:12 PM

I've been using Google Buzz for 2 days now, and i must say it is a nice way to keep in touch. (and yes I know 2 days is'nt that much)

It is integrated into your Gmail, so nothing is needed except a Google account, and it is easily linked to picasa, youtube etc.

How to partition a hard disk drive containing data

Category: Tools Thomas Frost @ 08:05 AM

I needed to partition my newly bought 1TB WD disk for my HTPC, because i wanted to use some for OS and the rest for data storage, but i had already put 200GB of data onto it. I will explain how I handled this problem, and still kept my data.

First of all i needed a program capable of partitioning a disk that contains data. I was a little careful picking the software, because a software crash right ind the middle of the partitioning, would destroy the data that was already on the disk.

 

I read a lot of recommendations in different forums and stumbled upon this: http://www.partitionwizard.com/, it did exactly what i needed!

And it was really easy to use, just a few clicks and the disk was partitioned in a few minutes. But remember that it is recommended to backup the data before using the program, even though the program is capable of saving the data.

 

One thing i struggled with a lot afterwards, was installing the OS and it seemed like i needed to set my newly partitioned part to active(has to be if it should be bootable), stupid mistake but took a lot of time before I realized it was the problem.
