I really have to wonder who is in charge. Why is the DoD internet access accepting any traffic from a Chinese site, hacker or legit, or a Russian site or a German site or a Nigerian site. It is public knowledge where the adddresses are registered and assigned. .
We know, from the IP address and the address registry, where the message is coming. If there is any sort of question about the access request, it should be denied or ignored.
There is nothing that says a server has to respond to every query it receives and it is perfectly fine for the server to reject requests that are problematic. They could even set up a white list of legitimate servers that won’t be rejected.
There are a lot of options other than letting the hackers in the front door.
As some may have seen, I have put photos from my recent Scottish Trip on the web using Web Gallery Mate. I have been exploring the various features for creating the Gallery, organizing channels of common subject matter, and trying to provide cryptic descriptive commentary on the individual pictures.
I came back with almost 1000 photos in 3 1/2 weeks. I really need to get a digital camera.
Suffice it to say, I have not finished scanning in all the pictures I took and I am not likely to enter them all into the Gallery and am even less likely to comment on all that are entered. But I hope that a bunch of pictures of the flowers in a Garden don’t need individual commentary, especially since I don’t know what they all are.
One feature I have found is that if you click on a photo in a channel (Like the St Andrews Gardens) the picture opens up in a web page and there are buttons for advancing to the next or previous picture. There is also an up button and if you click on that, it starts a slide show of all the pictures in that channel. Neat. And you can set the time that each picture is displayed.
I still need to work on arranging pictures within a channel to have a flow.
Now I need to go back to my previous travel commentary and link bits to pictures as reference.
I have created a Web Gallery of some of the pictures I took on my recent trip to Scotland. You can find it here.
I am still experimenting with what I can do with Web Gallery Mate and I haven’t scanned in all the photos yet. So, if you find a link that has no pictures, just go back and try another. I tried to keep the ‘big’ pictures to less than 100 kB i.e they aren’t as big as I could have made them. If you would like a bigger copy of a particular photo, let me know and I can scan in the negative at 2400 dpi. (That’s big, ~ 1 MB per photo.)
I just started looking at this to resume the SETI@home work I had running on my PCs in years past. Now that we have migrated to Linux and we have the horsepower to spare, I will try again.
They have changed the way they do things at SETI, and BOINC allows me to assign my PCs to work on mulitple projects. Let us see how it works.
This time I have set up the template in a spreadsheet and set up the row data elements in a row so it goes .tr..td..X../td..td.X../td..td..X../td…………./tr. and copied in the original table to the same spreadsheet. I then link each data element (.X.) of the html data back to the original table data element and then C&P the html parts from the spreadsheet into wordpress.
It seems to work. And next week I can just copy the original table into the same R/C and that will produce next week’s table. All I need to do is C&P. (The Total column is for the Season, the +/- column is point delta since Monday)
I’m getting somewhere. I’ll continue to play with it.

Ahh, looks like the frame and padding info have to go on the same line as the border info. Not sure why, I though it would read table attributes until it saw a”>”

Reduced the padding and set the align to center. I think it looks good for now.
OK, I have set up a spreadsheet where the col A and Col C cells have the start and stop tags for the table elements. Then I can just C&P my data elements into column B and C&P the entire table into Word Press to get a nice tabulated look. Next I’ll see how it works with my weekly number summary.
