Barry says I talk about hockey too much. Meh. I like what I like. What can I say? Ok, I’ll talk about something else.
You may or may not have noticed that I finally finished my pictures section. The reason for the delay was because I couldn’t decide how I wanted to do it. I looked at some packages like Gallery and Coppermine but they don’t allow you to integrate the image gallery into your website unless you’re using some CMS software (which I’m not). So I decided to write my own with PHP. It’s basically a bunch of directory walking and recursion, and I use the GD library to generate the thumbnails on the fly. It’s about 300 lines of code in total; not bad. So now adding a new pictures won’t take me much time. I simply create a new directory in the appropriate “album” and upload the pictures. That’s it. No need to edit any files or anything 🙂
In other news, Pat registered a domain at matterandmedia.com. I’m not sure what it’ll be, but I just know that it’ll take the Web by storm and restore that bubble that burst not too long ago.
