Added online photo gallery
I’ve added a photo gallery (using gallery2) to this installation of WordPress. If you click on the random photo or the page marked “Gallery“, you can see the full-size original, and browse the whole gallery (currently 1000′s of photos, and going up every day).

Best WordPress plugins, ever

Until someone figures out that this wants to be part of the core functionality, I highly recommend the excellent plugin, InstantUpgrade, by Alex Günsche. It rules. One click upgrades to your WordPress installation to the latest version. How easy is that? In case you’re wondering, yes, I did donate, as it’s an excellent, well-written, well-supported

I took some night shots last night with the full moon out. It’s amazing how long the shutter stays open and how much like day the shots look. Check them all out here. 25195

Well, after a detailed analysis of the different CMS systems, I chose Drupal (somewhat reluctantly after my last experience with this CMS), and have been struggling, fairly successfully, to port the fire department website, bouldermountainfire.org.

Last year in November, Cassie and I visited Bandelier National Monument (funny story, the native Americans were called Anasazi for many years, turns out this was a derogatory term used by other tribes, dirt people, they now refer to themselves as the Pueblo Indians) while we went to Santa Fe, NM. There I encountered a
Ordered Canon Rebel XTi

As I suspected, Canon is bringing its 10 Megapixel CMOS sensor to the Digital Rebel line . I preordered mine from Amazon . Despite the many rebates Canon has been offering in the past couple of months (down to $500 for the Rebel XT body-only), I could not bring myself to buy an SLR to

I had read about Gallery in PC Magazine recently. Looks very nice. Note that they are using Drupal for their own site! Not that I am THAT big of a fan of Drupal. WordPress is a lot easier to use, if less capable.

Best part of Gallery2 is that I actually use the same installation for the three different sites, albeit with different photo databases and stores:
boulderheights.org (joomla)
bouldermountainfire.org (raw unadulterated php, soon to be joomla)
david.kabal.org (wordpress)
And it’s FAST! Running with MySQL and the Apache server on the same site (hosted in Virtual environment by Bluehost), the pictures are snappy to come up, fast to upload, etc.
I even managed to move the entire photo galleries off of 1and1 over to bluehost, with a bare minimum of problems (used export from phpMySQLAdmin, then import on the new server, after modifying the SQL script appropriately to reflect the new locations).
