olli holliday's now slightly less minimalistic website

My Web Stuff

• UK TV Listings 5-day UK TV listings in what's hopefully a more useful format than radiotimes or other listings sites - see a whole day's TV at once, in a nice scrolly box!
  
  Works best in firefox but the default view works ok in IE.
  
  Work-in-progress. Uses PHP and the XMLTV listing files from bleb.org.
  All the other TV listings I found were pretty wank, but mine's probably worse at the mo! :)
  You can see a whole day at once though, without reloading the page.
  
  


• My Digicam Photos My photos from the last 5 years.
  
  Displayed by my photoAlbum script (details in the other box).

Personal Stuff

• My Digicam Photos My photos from the last 5 years.
  
  Displayed by my photoAlbum script (details in the other box).


• b3ta.org Pictures Pictures I've taken/made for submission to www.b3ta.org/board.


• Random Pictures Other random pictures.

Other Software Stuff

• RenamerFairy   <click for info> By far the most popular and most useful application I've ever written!
  
  Small utility for Windows 9x/NT/2K/XP to let you rename a lot of files quickly and easily (photos, mp3s, anything).
  
  Doesn't have the horrific user-interface of many renamer apps, and as it's a shell extension it's a lot easier to load up (select your files, right click, choose RenamerFairy).
  
  Take a look, you might find it useful.
  User Testimony


• photoAlbum v1.25 A PHP web-page photo gallery. Simply scans a folder for images and displays the files in a nicely formatted list.
  
  • Simple to set up - extract to the webserver and change 2 settings!
  • Caches thumbnails to ease server CPU load, supports comments and other settings.
  • No database required
  • To add photos to the album, simply upload them to the server via FTP (or whatever) - no checking in of photos or creating "Albums" using a webpage like in other software.
  • Full admin system for moving, renaming and deleting photos.
  • Full Access rights manager for restricting certain photos to users/groups


• ``Colour Picker'' A very basic HTML colour picker thing.
  Pick a colour from any point on your screen, select one using sliders or pick one from a palette.
  Saves favourite custom colours between sessions.
  

Small Utilities

• SetRes a little command line utility to set the screen resolution on Win9x/NT/2k/XP.
  Useful for badly written school software which only works in a certain resolution/colour depth.
  Example Usage: setres 1024 768 32


• LogOff Command line utility to log-off, shutdown or restart the computer.
  

mIRC Scripts

Some mIRC scripts i've written over the years, for people who don't want to go the whole hog of installing nnScript or tribe9 etc.

To install them put them in your mIRC directory and do (in mIRC)
/load -rs <filename>
mIRC will automatically load them each time, until you "UnLoad" them from Tool Menu -> Script Editor

• UT2004 Hotlink Handler v2 Lets you double click ut2004:// style URLs in mIRC to connect to that server.


• Topic Commands Adds the following commands to mIRC to aid in setting the topic on channnels.
  Uses standard mIRC formatting for messages and adds extra features (such as a warning when a topic is too long, instead of just chopping off part of it like /topic does).
  e.g. [03:13:36] *** Topic 14 characters too long
  Commands:
  • /t
    Sets the topic, e.g. /t this is the new topic.
    Doing /t on its own copies the current topic into the edit box (where you type) so that you can edit it how you like and just press return.
  • /et - "echo topic"
    Displays the current topic, the time it was set and by whom in the same format mIRC uses when you join a channel - useful for when you have URLs in the topic, echo them then you can just double click.
  • /at - "append to topic"
    Appends to the topic, e.g. /at this text will be added to the end of the current topic.
  • /pt - "prepend to topic"
    Prepends to the topic, e.g. /pt this text will be added at the start of the current topic.
  • /tl - "topic lock"
    Topic Lock. Enables the topic lock for this channel, will do its best to make sure the topic stays as it currently is.
  • /tul - "topic unlock"
    Stops locking the topic on this channel.


• Ban Protection Simple ban protection, if you have ops it will remove any bans that match you as soon as they're set and deop whoever did it.


• Away Script A run-of-the-mill away script, supports /away and /back.
  Will spam custom away/back messages, but only to channels of your choosing.
  Can set an away nickname which will be reset when you /back or when you reload mIRC.


• QW Tools My first ever mIRC script.
  • Pings a list of QuakeWorld servers and give you the usual info.
  • Query specific servers for a list of players, map info etc.
  • Join a server via a proxy (such as Qizmo, Cheapo etc.), and can use server-side proxies too.
  • While you're away, people PMing you in IRC can converse with you via your QuakeWorld console.
  Also contains Halflife and Quake3 pingers (but none of the other features for these games).


• MP3 Spammer A standard MP3 script. Will spam your current song:
  
  • Automatically (if you want, F9 to toggle)
  • On a keypress (F10)
  • "To" selected person in channel nicklist (F11)
      (e.g. * olli plays Abba - Waterloo to doctea)
  • "To" a random person (F12)
  (to use, set Winamp DDE plugin to send "/mp3 %s".)


• Disk Space Spam Spams a massively over the top display of your current disk usage to the current channel.
  One graph of free/used space per hard-disk on your system, and a graph of total for all disks.
  /load -a drivespam.ini to install
  /drivespam to use.


• Channel Helper Adds per-network auto-join (which mIRC supports now anyway).
  Also adds:
  /spamjoin (will keep trying to join a channel, e.g. if you've been temporarily banned)
  /cycle (leaves a channel and re-enters)
