Today was pretty good. Got stuff done, but another one of those feel like nothing got done days. I did walk someone through downloading and installing Mozilla over the phone though. It's not bad if the person isn't afraid of the computer. I also got to hear a pizza guy telling a faculty member about PhD syndrome, although not quite in those words (something along the lines of "professors can be so damn stupid, except in..."). I was just trying not to laugh at the humor in him saying this outright to a prof he didn't know. :) I guess if he's not expecting to see the prof again, may as well state it outright. After work there was the ITS Student Christmas party. Movie was Elf, which was good. I actually hadn't seen it before, which apparently was unusual. I have pictures which I should probably gather together and post sometime. I should really figure out how I want to post pictures rather than not doing it because I don't want 100 different places on my site. After the party, I went out and bought RotK for tomorrow night. 250 minutes of fun - you should be there. brooke even decided she'll probably be there, although is claiming to be bringing a pillow and blanket. I'm not sure that counts as trying to watch the movie. 10, the crossed out word is sad, but points to more story needed...

I know you're more of a do-it-yourself sort of guy, but I've been plaing around with gallery2 today, and it's pretty sweet. I have it set up here:

http://www.andersonfam.org/gallery2

It's still alpha software, and it doesn't have as many features as gallery1 does, but it's coming along nicely. You may want to give it a look...

Yea, I tried gallery once and it didn't have a lot of features I wanted, so I wrote my own clone (that also allowed me to publish/rearrange/comment locally and sync to the server). I switched computers and haven't moved the client side over, but since I've installed gallery for my dad and the new one fixed a lot of the things I didn't like. So now it's just sorta figuring out what I want to maintain, possibly merging some stuff, and setting it up.

Yeah - I've been using gallery for 3 and a half years or so (since I graduated I guess) and I've seen it go from a rather simple online photo album in the early releases to a very robust, feature-rich gallery management package in the most recent releases. For the time being at least, it has all the features I'm looking for, so I haven't had a compelling reason to re-invent the wheel.
