Crazy world isn't it? Microsoft's implementation ran on Apple's doomed Lisa computer. According to this, xenix was given to SCO because microsoft worked on OS/2!

7:34 PM - Caryn's on the phone.. can't surf

I really hate this.. our cordless phone interferes with our wireless router. I can't even see the network when we get a call. It doesn't matter if i reboot it or not. I need to play with the channels i think.

8:48 PM - Userpics are coming soon!

I have working userpic upload code. That means avatars are coming to JJ. This is a big deal in the sense i've been waiting years for it. The code complexity isn't that bad really. There will be a 10k imposed limit on avatars due to mysql inefficiencies. Someday i'll make guidelines for dimensions and use the java imaging api (hopefully) to shrink the damn things.

I've got a show avatar bit that can be turned on and off in preferences that will be user accessible eventually. Right now once you upload one you're stuck with it. I forgot some logic in the first version to turn on that flag and delete old images if they already exist. You are limited to 1 avatar. I'll always keep it like that, but i may add images to tags later that override the userpic or something. That would increase the number of images while maintaining order/logic to it. I never did understand LJ's 6 avatar idea. It seemed dumb.

I'm hoping to add a photo gallery feature someday too! That would pown! Remember because mysql is so touchy with images i can't guarantee they will be backed up for now.

For those of you who want to add an avatar and can't wait for the polished version, use http://www.justjournal.com/upload.html

Make sure you are logged in first though (change to SSL if you login that way)!!!!!!!!

The avatar flag will have to be set too.. just drop me a comment or something and i'll flip it for you.
