RE: Photo Server?

["Julian Stuhler" <julian.stuhler@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks Dean.

Actually I am already using Terminal Services (as you say the ePods is too
slow to do anything else). I'm not having a problem with the page update
speed - the response time has been great for anything I've done so far.

Regards,

Julian

I think you'll find the EPods too slow for browsing photo's - and it wont
display them in full colour !!

I use my Epods for running the Slimp3 web client, but use only the Slimple
PDA skin as it takes too long to load a page, also EPods runs IE3 by
default
which wont display a lot of CSS and stuff like that properly. It can be
hacked to run IE4.0 but thats even slower....

Using it as a Terminal Server Client to XP is one of the best ways of using
it, but then you are restricted to 256 colours, and slow page updates.

I havent tried running a CBus web session on it yet, but as Homegate is
made
up entirely of Jpeg images i'm concerned it'll be way to slow.

Hi Folks.

Thanks (as usual) to the excellent advice on this list, I'm close to
achieving most of my (current) aims for making my various toys
controllable
via a wireless web interface (an ePods).

I have just one major challenge left:

When I demonstrated the current web-control capabilities for lights,
curtains, music etc to SWMBO last night she was typically unmoved, but in
a
rush of enthusiasm I foolishly mentioned that she would also be able to
view
our digital photo collection via the ePods as well. She seemed to think
this
was genuinely useful, but I can't find a good way of doing it without lots
of effort.

I already have my digital photos organised in a reasonable logical
directory
structure (e.g. "c:\photos\2003\december\christmas"). What I want
is a web
client that will allow me to navigate those directories, dynamically build
a
web page with thumbnail versions of all of the photos once I select a
given
directory and allow me to see a full-size version of a photo when I click
on
it.

I could probably build something like this with ASP pages etc, but I hate
reinventing the wheel - does anyone know of anything out there that can do
this?

Many thanks,

Julian
