Embedded Files
For anybody reading this, I am currently modifying the design because of the newly acquired 49" monitor. I have redesigned the fold down desk and have to redesign it further, but it now operates more like a conventional swing foot, where the desk becomes the support for the bed. I am using 15mm 304 steel and talon clips for the pivot, but gravity alone cannot keep the desk level. I have bought hydraulics, but have to fabricate a solution to adapt a wood solution to my tubular frame. The desk is not staying horizontal as it folds and I am working on adapting an engineering idea I once "invented" a few years ago, for self-locking legs. I believe I can adapt the concept to make a gravity-based levelling mechanism, but it will be a lot of trial and error as the mathematics are way beyond my pay grade and I have seen no examples of anything similar anywhere to even begin.
I have removed a lot of the pictures from the carousel, as the design I have is basically the same, but the heavy beech is removed apart from the internal bed frame. I have more steel reinforcement but have removed around 20 or so meters from the overall design. It is now a lot lighter, but also stronger. The new monitor has two forward positions, but in the back position sits within the 50cm frame for protection and to help disguise its massive size. There is no KVM switching and I use MWB which in my opinion is better and means that one just needs a network. Both my Keyboard and mouse have 3 inputs and all my computers have a bolt connection linked to all devices. This means I can move things differently depending on various associated factors and what is happening at any one moment.
My main computer is still the Meg Ace in a Thermaltake Distro 350p case, which is using the Aqua computer system which applies negative pressure (In my case 98mbar). I would like the Godlike, but we all know how much that costs. Secondary computer is the Ghost Canyon i7 and for portability, a Zenbook Duo i9. I use double digit TB storage, so I kind of need silly speeds and more PCI lanes than conventional systems. At the moment I am trying to decide on whether a Threadripper system is going to be best option and if so, how to afford it. £7k for a chip is a little expensive, but what choice do we have?
The info below is my basic HTML that all runs locally using Firefox as a frontend. Firefox is more forgiving than Chrome or MS edge when doing things like modifying Bootstrap. I had tried once to eliminate Quirks mode from all my pages, but I lost some functionality. The amount of "professional" sites that enable it, is realistic when you think of how much business can be lost by placing coding etiquette above real money. Likewise, until I decide it's worth my time, I'm not bothering. I have just added this as it doesn't read below, but I think is somewhere else... And that is the software below is designed for my touch screens (the major reason for the icon size and artwork). I have no icons on my desktop and millions? of files. Through the thousands of media files I possess, I wanted to be able to access any media in three - four touches, regardless of how "deep" the location of the files. My homepage on Firefox is a custom page/HTML file that takes me anywhere I choose, local or external. All icons below are visually identifiable normally taking a unfamilair observer a few seconds each menu at most to identify, myself - almost immediately, i.e. from a blank screen to a song playing, takes me around 2 seconds from around three thousand songs (for example).
1) Press Mozilla icon on task bar 2) press music/movies or media 3) press album/movie category or play media (3 touch) 4) press song or movie. (4 touch)
In Music/media - A player automatically opens and plays music
In movies or videos/media - mp4's (normally low res) are played in the browser itself and Mkv's (HD and 4K) open in VLC.
I am at present experimenting with ISO's which MakeMKV converts a standard DVD rip to this. I can save space by using Handbrake to convert them to MKV's (but could be mp4), depending on whether I need to preserve audio, subtitles etc. Iso's are though triggering that annoying "do want to download this file or save it" message which require changing the default action despite settings saying it's changed already from save to open - it does though then open immediately. My hobbies include reverse engineering and I am sure given time I can figure a way around it.
This is a page I was designing as I had a thought with movie sequences that I could have a themed sub section for any particular movie series. The code (albeit crude) is just the beginning for me to see how it might look. When time permits, I have the idea that I can mimic the background gif, for the images of the movies and sync them, so that they will appear to be part of the background gif. As some of these are 4k, the default player is VLC when you click, or touch them. So the idea is to be basically have what will look like an interactive gif. I have the code to the left so you can see it is quite basic.
The code under Fawlty Towers I think more conforms to the rules of HTML in that Mechanics.txt is a CSS file with web links removed as I wanted to create my site which is self-contained and only uses the internet for my own links, web design etc. Everything is local and I use a browser for overall design of the library as it means everything is always up to date and I have never had to redesign code for a program update, as it no longer works. All is written as UTF-8 which most browser companies want to be the standard.
The layout of the icons as illustrated in the Harry potter gif, indicates that through different values <div class="col-md-5"></a></div> will space the icon 5th of 12 columns, meaning design can be written into the text instruction for the data, as most "professionals" generally might put this in CSS. As I have multiple files, I can't see the point as I would need a variable command and would be incredibly complicated for me to do.
To the left is one of my albums and this also has Mp4 in it. As these files are low resolution, I just have them open in the browser. I have quite a lot of videos and sometimes when I listen to music, I like to watch the associated video. I have a pair of Edifier speakers which are tri-amped and although only £400 sound quite good and serve my needs. The code as you can see incorporates A-player which I visually customised from the stock version and I overall liked the functionality. Things like WMP and Plex were not what I wanted, so this is my design for my needs. All this media is local, so no internet, no problem.
The Mentalist is regular col-sm-2 and as I have all the seasons & is a lot of icons. The series episode title means col-sm-1 is too small to read and the illustration too small to see. I don't use generally <p></p> anywhere except in my music folder where I have a few albums containing 100 tracks or so. When I have the time all songs will have album art, but present just use <p> & <h?> etc. Movies are generally really good as an image is generally enough and occasionally I will use a promo shot which is everything you need.
