New and Improved
After about a month of waiting, I finally have a newer and better system, and it’s running in parallel with my older system. Big plus was the new system was 100% free!
I had the following items donated:
ATI PCI-X X700
Decent Intel Mother Board with a 3GHz Core2 Duo Processor
1 GByte of PC4200 DDR1 RAM
350 Watt PS for the C2Duo
250 GB SATA HDD
Traded for some PC2700 RAM that I used to upgrade the old comp too. Plus there may be a second 19″ CRT in the future. Huge stroke of luck, couple of weekends of work, but it worked out quite well.
If anyone wants to donate to the Aleph-is-too-poor-to-buy-a-new-computer fund, I still need a second DVD-R or DVD-RW and decent AGP 4x video card. Once I have that, I will have a good and decent computer, both for relatively little cost! Huzzah.
Now to get this blog back into shape and used again….anyone know a decent photo album plugin for Word Press?
Nice, Who donated all the parts?
What are you looking for in a photo album?
I use a gallery script called Zen photos http://www.zenphoto.org/
I have an auto install/update script if you want me to install it.
Its an upload and go script. It uses a SQLite flat file database that is rebuilt on upload of new images.
All you need to do is upload all your images to a directory and hit the rebuild button and it will do the rest.

My brother donated most of it. My Dad, one of my co-workers and my boss have all chipped in parts though.
Something simple, yet flexible. I want to be able to
- create grouped galleries of images, with names
- add large visible comments to pictures so I can make notes about the images
- have simple tumbnails
- add titles
- allow comments
I don’t mind manually uploadig each photo either. Basically, I’m trying to find a way to get my art back online so it can be viewed again.
