Photo Gallery Decision Made
Posted by Poppa under: Site News .
Alright, I think I’ve finally made up my mind on which photo gallery I’m gunna use. I’m back to what we were originally using, which is Coppermine. The features are there, I’ve found a way to easily deal with the duplicate photo problem, my only issue at this point is CPU usage with the hosting company. To get around that I’m going through all the albums tonight and re-uploading and re-processing all of the images in the gallery to a max size of 1024x. This should help speed up the gallery a lot and also reduce the load on the server. The only drawback is that it will decrease the max quality of the photos for those of you who want to download something and keep it. So to get around that, if there are any photos in the gallery that you think you want a larger version of, just shoot us an e-mail and we’ll send you the larger version. Some of the large versions are over 5mb in size so as long as you can accept such a large file by e-mail we should be good to go. I’m also gunna try to get some more photos added tonight, if I can fight off my sleepy-ness long enough.
Me and Momma had a great weekend. Friday we didn’t do much of anything except nap, Saturday we went on a hike and then over to the pub down the street, and on Sunday went to my moms for a hobo-dinner. Nice and relaxing. Hope to have the photos from our hike uploaded soon, and hope my legs start to feel better - we hiked about 3.5-4 miles and my legs are angry about it. Geez sometimes I feel really old.
