After some months of inactivity, it is with great regret that my first post is about a recent problem with my hosting. Due to some kind of problem with the server upgrade or due to some malicious user, I (and probably many of you) was greeted with a blank page while trying to access this very site.
Later on, I came to find that all my FTP had been erased. Luckily, I had a 'recent' backup of all the coding (though not all the files) so please bear with me while I try to restablish the order here ;)

Hello folks!
As I was writing my previous post (the one about my awesome vacations :P) I stumbled across a little problem in my post edit thingie: it had no image handling.
Since I wanted to add some photos so you could actually see some of the beautiful sights I talked about, I immediately started thinking of ways to easily implement a "Add new image to post" feature capable of creating thumbnails aswell (since I'm a really nice guy and wouldn't want to strain your browsers with megabytes of data ;D).
The first, and most obvious, thing that came to mind was creating some kind of upload form (in a popup or using AJAX) that would accept an image file, process it, create a thumbnail and add the image code to the html of the post. The problem with this method is that it would take lots of time to implement correctly or would require extensive code tweaking to some third-party upload library in order to adapt it to my own needs.
While I was reflecting upon this issue, a cunning idea started to form in my mind. What if instead of using a local file I used a file already in the net? This way the need for an upload form (atleast in my site) would no longer be. That's how I came up with the following script.

As usual, when we enjoy ourselves time flies. I can't believe my 2 (and a half) weeks of holidays are already over. Guess I shouldn't complain though since some didn't even have holidays :P
So as I had said in my previous post, I stayed in Brasil with my father, his wife and my 2 brothers.
I spent the first week in Porto Alegre where it was almost hard to breathe due to the wet but hot weather in that region. Did some sightseeing, attended the 'End of School Year' event at my brothers' school, met lots of cool people and paid a visit to the main wine production region of Rio Grande do Sul, hidden between the mountains and surrounded by immense forests.
