  • XSSI if and else statements

    if statement

    <!--#if expr="\"$HTTP_REFERER\" = /abc.net.au/" -->
    Content relevant to that site

    <!--#elif expr="\"$HTTP_REFERER\" = /google.com/" -->
    An ‘or if’ statement

    <!--#else -->
    this else statement is used for all other instances

    <!--#endif -->
    finalise the code with an ‘end statement’

    More complex if statement – SSI conditional based on document URI

    This depends on the URI of the document being referenced.

  • XSSI variables

    Set the variable giving it a value
    <!--#set var='site' value='brisbane'--'>

    In normal use add the variable as an echo
    <!--#echo var='site'-->

    If used within another ssi statement use the ‘$’ parameter
    <--#include virtual='/${site}/include.htm'-->

  • Diamonds and Rust

    rust
    Well I’ll be damned
    Here comes your ghost again
    But that’s not unusual
    It’s just that the moon is full
    And you happened to call
    And here I sit
    Hand on the telephone
    Hearing a voice I’d known
    A couple of light years ago
    Heading straight for a fall
    (more…)

  • True nature is not lost

    Your true nature is not lost in moments of delusion, nor is it gained at the moment of enlightenment.
    It was never born and can never die.
    It shines through the whole universe, filling emptiness, one with emptiness.
    It is without time or space, and has no passions, no people, and no buddhas; it contains not the smallest hairbreadth of anything that exists objectively; it depends on nothing and is attached to nothing.
    It is all-pervading, radiant beauty: absolute reality, self-existent and uncreated.
    How then can you doubt that the Buddha has no mouth to speak with and nothing to teach, or that the truth is learned without learning, for who is there to learn?
    It is a jewel beyond all price.

  • Deathless state

    For those who are ready, the door
    To the deathless state is open.
    You that have ears, give up
    The conditions that bind you,
    And enter in.

  • Test of GoProHD

    HD Video

    Not happy with the post shoot encoding (mainly to reduce file size) so hope to try other settings. Only editing was top and tailing.
