Got up at 6.30am again. Ate breakfast etc. Wanted to watch CBeebies but sky was broke. The weather is raddish and cloudy and windy as well. Went on some photo websites and it started raining.
Looked at setting my site up to read from a database, but the TreeMenu system seems to allocate ids to its nodes automatically. This is okay except that I want to also generate the google maps markers and links dynamically, and they need to have the link to the same treemenu node id as the marker links to. If all the links for the treemenu were under one folder this would be okay, because you'd just need to sort both the treemenu and google map markers in the same order and then the ids would match up. But in treemenu I will have multiple folders (that's the point of it) and the folders are also assigned node ids. So say I had 2 folders with 50 links in each folder. The first 50 links will work okay. But link 51 on the google map would be assigned to the 2nd folder and every link after that would be assigned to the previous link.
What would be nice would be if the treemenu could get the node id from the database, rather than just starting at 0 and increasing the value, but I don't know how to do this. Looking at and thinking about it got too annoying so I helped Ben do some tidying of his room and tidied mine a bit and wrote this blog so far.
I also looked on ebay for long lenses, a Nikon 600 AF-S f/4 went for £1,765.00 + P&P! I think this is because it was a new seller with no feedback. They didn't look like a dodgy listing though. Hopefully when we move to Market Harborough I can be patient and get a good deal like that.
Dad suggested I remove all the passion flower plant from the Sky dish, so I did this and amazingly it fixed sky.
After being bored for a bit more we ate dinner. Then I cleared the table and did the washing up. Worked for a bit on a php / mysql tutorial, which I got working alright except the for the bit to upload information to the database. I'm not that bothered about that bit anyway since I can use PHPAdmin to update the database.
Went out for a walk cos I was bored to a cylinder.
Worked some more on PHP / MySQL, just with a blank document trying to write the same code that will need to be generated from the database for my website. Found out that on my website, the googlemap links linking to the nodes as is setup currently is making the link open in a new window as well as the same window. Played around with this for quite a while and eventually managed to Mr fix it (from Busy World of Richard Scarry).
Ate Dan's Diner.
Did some more work on PHP/MySQL and I think I have worked out how to get around the node numbering and folder problem. Mum suggested we go to Devil's Dyke cos Ben bought a kite from Tescos today he wanted to try out. The sun had come out a bit but it was also a bit cloudy and I thought if we were quick I might be able to get some nice sunset photos. So I drove mum and Ben up there and I took my photo stuff. I took a partial HDR (9 bracketed imgs) pano with my D200 & Tokina fisheye. I also tried using my cokin filter holder and filters with my Panasonic FZ5, unfortunately the Cokin Sunset filter was all smudgy and the camera kept focusing on the filter instead of the scene. I took a few shots, some with just Split ND filters but I don't think they will come out very well.
Came back home and Jon was actual-cheese on MSN!

Menu
Got up at 6.30am, ate breakfast etc. Watched the end of Bits and Bobs, where some little kids played crazy golf at an indoor crazy golf place. Watched 'Its our planet!' which was about bugs and then animals with tails. Watched big cook little cook and Big cook Ben had to try and do his laces up as fast as possible and he had 3 pairs of trainers, one of which was Hi-tech!!!! Went on my comp for a bit then Ben shouted that Come Outside was on so I went to watch that but it was a repeat so we watched Peppa Pig instead and she splatted her dad's pumpkin. It would have been skilk 103.2 if her dad had got dead annoyed and belly flopped on her or just picked her up and threw her away, but he didn't. Jim lad.
Went on my comp, looking at a possible menu for my website. Went to Church. Didn't have to do the chairs afterwards since there's an evening service today. Had to get Granny after church. Went on my comp de la pomp again. Ate Dinner, did washing up & cleared the table. Went on my comp again. Did quite a bit of work editing a menu, but it's not any good as it seems the options are listed in order of number of levels, so items with no sub menus go at the top and once you produce a sub menu you can only go back up to the menu before that, not back to the root. I found another menu that does let you do that, but it doesn't save state when you refresh the page. I think now I have found a good solution, called TreeView. Only problem is that the menu items aren't that easy to edit. Messed around with this for a bit then ate tea.
Finished integrating the Treeview menu system into my website. After this I amended the Google maps links and the treeview menu to pull the same links from a php array. Then I read part of a PHP / SQL tutorial and it seems like this will be the easiest way for me to add panos to my website, meaning I will have wasted time on first building the seperate links and then the PHP array. Never mind, the SQL route might be too complicated for me anyway. I also found that I am going to need to introduce some javascript calls to the treemenu from the google maps links.

Sleep-cheese
Got up at 10.30am so I was too late to go and see the Children's Parade for the start of the Brighton Festival. Had a shower etc. and ate breakfast. Remembered that this song is dead gokos. How trolltimate is the old dancing bloke's hair!?!
Listened to Music and went on the pinternet then ate lunch. Watched Bits & Bobs and a little kid on it had the same 'I ♥ my bike' bike bell as I have!
Went on the pinternet some more. I was about to buy a ¼" to ⅜" adaptor off of ebay when I found out that the screw in my tripod is reversible, luckslush just before I confirmed the buy it now. Fitted my new Markins Ballhead (which has ⅜" thread) to my tripod and my nodal ninja to my small Arca-Swiss style QR plate so I can easily mount it on top of the Markins.
Listened to a Totoro song with Ben who has been ill most of this morning and ate a lollipop. Watched Lost S03e19. Read a PHP tutorial. Cooked Dinner. Watched Super Luigi RPG videos on Youtube with Ben. Ate Dinner.
Worked on my website. Managed to set it up so that the links from the Googlemap work on both the main site index page and also the indivdual pano pages. Made it so the 'you are here' bubble doesn't appear on the homepage. Made it so the pano and associated content don't appear on the homepage. When I did this I found that the page footer wasn't aligned to the bottom of the page, just 30px below the rest of the content. I think I've found a solution to this at http://www.wpdfd.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=css;action=display;num=1084182243;start=19, I'll just need to have a play with it. Also last night I found out that the menu system I was looking at won't display over a pano. A Flash menu wouldn't work either since the flash interface would have to overlap part of the pano, meaning you wouldn't be able to click the pano in that region. I think I'll go for a tree based menu of the left hand side. It's 10.45 and I'm going to bed now.
Food
Breakfast: Orange marmalade toast sandwich, Strawberry Jam toast sandwich, coffee.
Lunch: Cheese on toast, Ham with sweet and crunchy salad sandwich, satsuma, warm chelsea bun, cup o' tea.
Afternoon snack: Lollipop
Dinner: Sausages, mashed potato with cheese, baked beans. Pudding was 4 strawberries. Coffee and Ben gave me some more of his delee sweets.

Animal attraction
Cycled to work, got there about 8.30am as normal. Did work, mainly answering phones. Missed quite a bit of my lunch because Suzanne was asking me about the website and also I had to take a phonecall.
Two of the printers weren't working again so Alan Pike came in to have a look at them, one of them seems to be totally Busted though. Someone came in to see if they could write Crystal Reports for us so I spent quite a bit of the afternoon talking to them. Left work at about 5.20pm as I had to record bank holiday weekend answerphone messages.
On the way home there was this little lamb that was sleeping (or at least looked like it was) so I thought I'd take a photo of it. But when I got my camera out of my bag it got up, climbed through the electric fence and came over to me and just stood next to my leg bleating. I just stayed there and after a bit it went back to its mum and had a drink of milk.
Got home and did washing up. Ate dinner and added Lost S03e19 to Azureus to download. For the rest of this eveing I'll pobasquish go on photo websites, look at a php menu for my website and maybe do the notices.
Food
Breakfast: 2 x Strawberry Jam toast sandwiches, cup o' tea
Lunch: 2 x Cheddar Cheese with Sweet & Crunchy salad sandwiches, 2 x Apples, y-lum-plum
Dinner: Battered fish portion with vinegar & black pepper, Potato, peas. Pudding was Yoghurt. Then I had a Twix finger and Ben also gave me some of his sweets - 3 chocolatey biscuity toffee worm things and a piece of shocolate chicken covered honeycomb. Coffee

2 puddings
Cycled to work, did work, Suzanne bought everyone an ice cream and I got a Feast. Left work about 5.20pm. The rape fields have started to go greeny yellow now and all the blossom is gone from the trees, it's been quite windy this week. Got about 6.20pm and my Markins ballhead had arrived. Seems quite gokos, I will ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-check it out and see wh-wh-wh-wh-what it's all about at the Jiminy Cricket Weekend. Also at the weekend I Tom Hink I might have a sleep and see the Brighton Festival Children's Parade on Saturday and see if they are doing maypole/morris men stuff in Hurstpierpoint on Monday.
After opening my Markins Ballhead I made my sandwiches, cleared the table and did the washing up. Then I ate dinner. I had to make my own custard for pudding so I made enough so I could have 2 puddings since mum said I could have a piece of swiss roll as well as the rest of the apple crumble.
Went on Deviant art and panoguide and looked some more for a menu system for my pano website. I might have found one that works but don't know since I can't get an actual pano to display in the menu demo page.
Food
Breakfast: 2 x Strawberry Jam toasts, cup o' tea
Lunch: 2 x Cheddar cheese with sweet 'n' crunchy salad sandwiches, 2 x clementines, apple.
Dinner: Flavoured rice, chicken dippers with Tom Ketch. Pudding1: Apple Crumble with custard. Pudding 2: Swiss Roll drizzled with Blackcurrant Hi-Juice & custard.
Supper: Gingery chocolate covered biscuit, shortbread finger, cold chocolate milk drink.

customs fee
Luck slush mum said she'd take my parcel to the post office for me so I cycled to work. Spent most of the morning trying to do a Crystal Report. In the afternoon Jon from TSG came to fix the tape drive, which meant the server was down for a bit so I did some filing. After that I was mainly just answering the phone. Also Erica's PC wouldn't switch on again after she had switched it off so I had to phone PC World. They said it was probably faulty memory again and they'd get someone from customer services to arrange a replacement. They suggested getting a better quality PC that won't break.
Left work at 5pm, pobasquish should have worked overtime to get some crystal reports done really but I hadn't had time to fill in an overtime request before 5pm. When I got home my eyes started itching quite a bit. Did table clearing, washing up and sandwich making. Trashic FM won a sony award for best rad de padio station.
Got a letter from parcel force saying I need to pay VAT and a clearance fee for my Markins ball head so I paid that online. No-one will be in Tom Morrow so I said for them to Dee Liver it on the day belonging to Thor. Ate Jin the pinner and checked the last few days of Daily Deviations on Deviant art. Made sure the changes I have been making to my website at work work. I can't check at work since my PC there isn't set up as a webserver with PHP installed.
I'll pobasquish spend the rest of the even Ning going on photography websites and editing my pano website.
Food:
Breakfast: Strawberry Jam Toast, cup o' tea
Lunch: Pastrami with Iceberg lettuce sandwich, Cheddar cheese with iceberg lettuce sandwich, 2 x satsumas, an apple that had a big mouldy bit I had to cut out of it.
Dinner: 2 x Totally delee herby spicy sausages that are like proper butchers sausages, baked beans, mashed potato. Pudding was apple (charlotte I Tom Hink) with sngle cream. Coffee.
