I’ve finally given up on my hand-written picture software and moved to a GPL’d PHP picture gallery called, appropriately, “gallery.” Now you can add comments, sort pictures and albums, and all the pictures load faster. To see, go to gallery.overt.org.

I have added server-side image resizing in the pictures area. What does this mean for you? It means two things:

1. Dynamically generated thumbnails! You no longer have to download the whole picture when you are viewing thumbnails in the event view. You’ll just get little thumbnails instead.
2. Selectable viewing resolutions. Now, you can view a picture at several resolutions, not just the one at which it was taken. By default, images will appear at 800x600.

I hope this makes things easier for low-bandwidth users.

I finally got around to reorganizing my pictures into “events.” You can now see all of the pictures that I’ve been putting of posting (since last September) on the pictures page

Ship of Fools has recently passed two milestones: 10 years of CPU time and our second member with over a year of CPU time logged.

overt.org now has a delicious, nutritious quote of the day at the top of the sidebar. yum!
