Web Dev: July 2008Archive

Gmail is one of the best solution to handle so much flood of mail, but an inconvenience annoys me these days.
The size of the preview thumbnails of the image attachments.

Because I receive many of mail with atattchments including the automatically converted FAX as jpg, I wrote easy greasemonkey script named gmailEnlargePreview to make the thumbnails larger.

Please try if you like this. The script can be get from :

After installing the latest ImageMagick (6.4.2), an error occured on MovableType image upload interface. The error said "/usr/local/lib/libMagickCore.so.1 Undefined symbol "pthread_equal".

A web source tells it causes because of misconfigure on some version of FreeBSD (I guess 5.x or earlier version. It works fine on my 6.2.)

An easy solution is disable "thread".
Try it on configure process.

# ./configure --without-threads
