JavaScript Picture Slider
Hello,
I was coding this little Picture Slider in JavaScript for a colleague and thought: Why not just share it with everybody else?
So here it is people… It is not advanced, it is not high-tech… but it is simple!
-
<html>
-
-
<head>
-
<title>Picture Slider</title>
-
-
<script type="text/javascript">
-
// Setup
-
var imagePath = "images/"; // Path to image-folder
-
var images = new Array("image1.jpg", "image2.jpg", "image3.jpg", "image4.jpg", "image5.jpg"); // filenames of the images
-
var slideInterval = 1.5; // amount of seconds before sliding to the next image.
-
-
// Variabels
-
var curImage = 0;
-
-
// Fucntions
-
function startSlide() {
-
setTimeout("nextSlide()", slideInterval * 1000);
-
}
-
-
function nextSlide() {
-
var viewer = document.getElementById("imageViewer");
-
curImage = curImage + 1;
-
-
if (images[curImage] == null)
-
curImage = 0;
-
-
viewer.src = imagePath + images[curImage];
-
-
setTimeout("nextSlide()", slideInterval * 1000);
-
}
-
-
// Start the slider
-
startSlide();
-
</script>
-
</head>
-
-
<body>
-
-
<h1>Picture Slider</h1>
-
<br />
-
<img id="imageViewer" src="images/image1.jpg">
-
-
</body>
-
-
</html>
Just change the variables under the “setup” in the start of the JavaScript-code and change the src-parameter on the img-tag of the picture to show the first picture. Then the script will work.
Have fun !!

Project: Silent Synology DS207+ – PART ONE
Hello,
For about a half year I have had a Synology DiskStation 207+ running in my apartment. It does not make to much noise when idle, but when it is in use it makes a bit more noise. Currently my computer is silent as… a girl not talking, so why should a little piece of hardware like my DiskStation 207+ not be too?
Therefore I have started my own little project of making it silent. I will proparly have two or three parts depending on how the result after each part is.
I found a page on the SynologyWiki descriping a possible way to silent the DiskStation. In this step (the first step) I will therefore try and replace the fan, since the biggest problem is the noise from the fan when the DiskStation is running.
The page on the SynologyWiki are talking about a very silent 60x60x15 fan (16 dB) from PAPST (model 612F/2L). However that specific fan is impossible to find in a shop here in Denmark, so instead I found a post on a forum (I can’t find the link right now) descriping another fan that can be used as an alternative, a Revoltec Fan AirGuard 60x60x20 (25 dB). Eventhough the dB was much higher on the last one, I thought I would give it a shot since someone else has had good experience with it. I therefore ordered the fan.
I will in the next steps descripe how I replaced the standard fan with the Revoltec Fan Airguard:
Step 1:
Turn off the DiskStation DS207+ and remove all cables connected to it.
Sorry – I had to dummy-secure my guide ;-)
Step 2:
Remove the two screws placed on the back of the case (marked with a red circle around on the picture below), so the case can be opened.
Step 3:
Remove the four screws placed on the board (marked with a red circle around on the picture below).
When this is done you can remove the last part of the case from the board.
You will not need to remove the harddrives before this, but if you want to then do it.
Step 4:
Remove the fire screws placed on the back of the Synology-board. The screws are marked with a red circle around on the picture below.
The screws are holding the fan, and by removing these screws we can remove the fan from the DiskStation.
Step 5:
Unplug the fan from the DiskStation by removing the fan-connector from the socket.
Step 6:
Remove the socket from the board. The socket must be removed because the socket isen’t big enough for the new fans connector.
Be careful not to break the three pins that goes through the socket. I unfortunately did, so I had to cut the fans wire and solder it on the broken pins (the pins are very small now).
Put the new fans connector on the pins – it should go right on, so you don’t need to use force to do so.
Step 7:
Screw the new fan on the board, just as the old fan was.
Step 8:
Put the board onto the small part of the case, and screw it on, so it is locked to the case.
Step 9:
Take the second part of the case, put it together with the small part (that has the board attached) and take the two screws to lock the case.
You are now finished installing the new fan. Now install your cables to the DiskStation 207+ and turn it on.
I could hear a little bit of difference, however in my opinion not enough. I will in my next step try and install some noise breaking material to the DiskStation and see if that would make a bigger difference.
Please excuse my bad english in this blog.
New computer stuff
Hello,
For about 3 weeks ago I bought myself some new computer stuff – and oh my god it is nice.
The new stuff I bought is:
- Asus EEE Box, model B202 (black edition)
- Sony DVD+-R/RW/DL/ SLIM DRX-S70U +8X8X4X -8X6X4X
- Belkin SOHO DVI 2-PORT USB KVM Switch
I have heard alot about the new Asus EEE Box, so I wanted to try it. I can use it to host my webapplications for test-purpose, so it was not a waste of money.
The Asus EEE Box B202 comes with a Intel Atom 1.6 Ghz CPU, 1GB DDR ram, 160 GB (5400 rpm) harddrive, wireless lan and gigabit lan. The computer is not made for gaming, but is very good for use of Microsoft Office, browsing etc.
The sound level of this computer is VERY low. It stands on my table and I can’t hear it. Besides that it’s not big. The dimensions are 223 x 178 x 26 without the stand. The best of it however is that the Asus EEE Box only uses about 20 watts of power.
I am very pleased with the Asus EEE Box.When I bought it I also bought an external DVD-drive and -burner. The Asus EEE Box does not have a drive installed, so you have to buy one. I bought a black slimline DVD-drive from Sony. It is also very nice.
The last thing I bought is the Belkin SOHO DVI 2-PORT USB KVM Switch. Since I only have one monitor, keyboard, mouse and sound-set, I wanted them to be able to talk to both computers (my new Asus EEE Box and my regular self-made computer). The Belkin SOHO KVM Switch is a very nice switch for this. It handles DVI, sound, USB (for mouse and keyboard) etc. It works perfectly and I’m very pleased with all of my new purchases.
You can see pictures of all the new stuff by clicking the thumbnails below:
Fuck! Det skete bare ikke…
Halløjsa,
Jeg sad og var ved at skifte blæser i min Synology Disk Station 207+, da de tre (utrolig) små stik, som stikket fra blæseren skal ned i, knækkede. FUCK!!!
Selve Disk Station koster ca. 2000,- kr., så jeg synes ikke lige, at det var det fedeste at skulle genkøbe. De penge kan jeg nemt bruge på andet.
Heldigvis kommer min svoger mig til undsætning. Han vil kigge på det, så han fjerner stikket på blæseren og lodder de enkelte ledninger på de nu endnu mindre stik.
Jeg håber, at det virker, så jeg kan få gang i min Disk Station igen. Alt andet vil satme være nederen!! Fuck noget lort.
