The Development Blog of Tim Graupmann
An evil snow plow came by earlier today and dropped sand. The local kids were not impressed.
30 minutes later, more snow covered the freshly dropped sand making the road good for sledding again.
Even with sand, [people still have problems getting up even the smallest of hills].
In the interest of having fun, [Linae and I sled down the steepest hill on our road.]
What do you suppose a truck load of snow is going for on Craig’s List?

It’s been snowing two days straight. And now it’s starting to pile up!

It’s been cold out, but today Winter officially begins now that the snow has arrived.
I had registered the domain name: [TGraupmann] a while back to host my portfolio and to do some website experiments. I decided to experiment with [SimpleViewer].
SimpleViewer takes an XML gallery file, so I wrote a handy Perl script to auto generate the gallery file:
#perl
print '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>' . "n";
print '<simpleviewerGallery maxImageWidth="4096"
maxImageHeight="4096" textColor="0xFFFFFF"
frameColor="0xffffff" frameWidth="20" stagePadding="40"
thumbnailColumns="3" thumbnailRows="3" navPosition="left"
title="SimpleViewer Title" enableRightClickOpen="true"
backgroundImagePath="" imagePath="" thumbPath="">' . "n";
while (<images/*.jpg>)
{
$_ =~ s/images///;
print ' <image>' . "n";
print ' <filename>' . $_ . '</filename>' . "n";
print ' <caption>' . $_ . '</caption>' . "n";
print ' </image>' . "n";
}
print '</simpleviewerGallery>' . "n";
