the X factor –=Every Little Thing =–

found another way to do the flickr slideshow, which makes use of the flash slideshow provided by flickr. to embed it, need to use an iframe. here is an example:


<iframe align="center"
src="http://www.flickr.com/slideShow/index.gne?user_id=34129008@N00&set_id=72157603538577777"
frameBorder="0" width="450" scrolling="no" height="450"></iframe>


probably this is for more advanced users since it involves putting parameters in the query string.

here are the set of parameters you can change:

• user_id: to get your flick user_id, you need to use this tool called idGetter (http://idgettr.com/) to convert your flickr username to user id
• group_id: to display photos from a group
• set_id: to display photos from a certain set
• some other parameters available: “contacts=”, “text=”, “tag_mode=”, “favorites=”, “group_id=”, “frifam=”, “nsid=”, “single=”, “firstIndex=”, “set_id” and “firstId=”

here is how it looks like: Continue reading »

now that streetdirectary.com is dead (link: Virtual Map shuts down street directory site after losing suit) if you want to do some distance calculating or jog route planning you have to find some alternatives.

some one has suggested can.com.sg. but no… that one totally cant make it…

proudly to introduce this Google Maps Distance Calculator. it’s powerful (of course, it’s using google map engine) and easy to use. definitely it’s better than the already dead streetdirectary.com and 100 times better than the lousy can.com.sg.

here is my jog route plan. you can click to enlarge to see more details
