Galleries

Well well well. A fairly substantial amount of time has passed since the last update. My apologies for that.

So what’s new? Wouldn’t you like to know.

I’ve repaired the galleries. After a recent update the album links stopped working so you could see the various galleries but couldn’t actually view them. That’s now consigned to the past.

I’ve also been hard at work updating the images I have to upload. If anyone you know ever makes light of photo editing then they are trying to deceive you. In the age of digital cameras where we may have taken twenty photos with film we’ll easily snap a couple of hundred. You don’t intend to keep them all, you might take five when you only want one, that way you can choose the best and discard the rest. Well, that takes time. Once you’ve got the images you want to keep then there’s the inevitable cropping, and basic touching up to get the ready for publication.

Once that’s done you’ve got to compress them to a size that’s large enough for family members who want to print them yet small enough for your server to remain sane and functional!

Rinse and repeat 8,000 times.

I’ve also neglected any updates. Perhaps because I have been so busy living. The last few months have seen significant steps forward in all aspects of our family life. I have been promoted, church is going well, we have another daughter on the way and we are all hale and healthy. Did I mention that Ninette and Persephone are gorgeous, smart and happy?

Yes, I really should write about my family a bit more… Until then folks.
