Tom Lovie's weblog

Yesterday, I wrote about my adventures in resizing an NTFS image file inside of QEMU. Well that didn't go so hot, but the instructions I found at Eric Carlson's page were a start. While browsing his site a bit, I noticed he was using a really great open source picture gallery application. I was trying to integrate photo browsing into Serendipity but this is a much better approach. I am really excited about Gallery, because I didn't have any system to organize my photos. I've made some of my photos available, and I've been encouraging my friends and family to do the same.

I worked on installing Win2kServer inside of QEMU 0.7.1. It went pretty smoothly, but I didn't configure the image disk to be large enough. I tried to correct the problem by following the instructions I found here, but every time I tried to boot the guest OS, it complained that the disk was not bootable. Eventually I just took the route of re-installing the OS on a larger image file.

UPDATE: Just installed SP3 on the guest OS and everything went bad.

After almost no trouble at all, I configured Serendipity 0.8.2 for this blog. As you can see, I used the defaults in most places, maybe later I will change some of them. I hope to write more things down, hopefully this blog will be a good thing.
