I was going to say we have a 2 new entries that’s reach top 10 status, but it appears Screen Cleaners was already top 10 for the past 2 weeks. I had initially thought it was popularized by the fact that someone had posted this on Digg: Click if your computer screen is dirty. (mirror / full screen), which currently has almost 15K diggs.

The one that hasn’t ever reach top 10 status is Free Outgoing Calls. I guess free is always good. 🙂

Gallery2 Auto Rotate

For the longest time, I’ve been rotating images on Gallery2 manually (usually using IrfanView beforehand) and then uploading them to my ftp server. Of course I only rotated copies and left the originals intact. Anyway, I got sick of it for some reason today and remember this USED to work where Gallery2 would auto rotate based on the EXIF data.

I tried searching the admin panel, but didn’t really have much luck.

I tried to see if there was a rotation plugin and there was none.

I checked out Jpegtran since it’s the tool used for image transformations (specifically rotation), and there didn’t appear to any problems.

Searching for auto rotate or auto rotation on search engines didn’t really result in anything too useful besides the fact that starting with Gallery 2.2, auto rotate was an added feature.

Finally I found a thread that told me how to enable this. Apparently the place to do this is:
Site Administration > EXIF/IPTC > Rotate Pictures Automatically

Woot! Auto-rotate works! I’m thinking about enabling “Preserve Original on Rotating”, but not sure if I want to do that or not, since I assume when people click on “Download photo”, they’ll might see the photo in the wrong orientation.

There’s 2 new comers to the Top 10 list, first being the Windows Update Error: 80070490 that I got a week or 2 ago. Apparently my page is already ranked #4 on Google when you search for: windows update 80070490. Guess it means a lot of people are actually hitting this. Unfortunately, the logs and diagnostic info I submitted to the team investigating this bug proved to be not much help since I no longer am experiencing this problem.

The other new comer is the Butterfly = Symbol of Death? Looking into why there was suddenly a spike in this really old post, it turns out some people on a forum were talking about how butterflies represent the soul and reincarnation, and someone pointed out that it can also symbolize death and linked to that post.

I changed a bit of the format this week. I’ve added the arrows to the side bar and included last week’s status information inside the title and alt (alternative text) of the arrow image. If there’s no arrow image, it means it has the same rank as last week.

My guess for the increase view of the Canon PSC-1000 is the fact that the Canon SD1000 digital camera has been on sale recently, and given that it’s near Christmas and many SD1000s are being given as gifts, they thought a nice camera case would go along with it.

The case is actually quite nice, thought a bit expensive. The hole on the top where the wrist-strap goes through is a bit too small. I actually took and scissor and made the hole bigger. Turned out rather well.
