One down, two to go

We’ve been sorting out Maxim’s doctors’ appointments today. There are some good news, and there are some news expectations. Luckily – no bad news for today.

But first things first. We went to the oculist office again to check on the status of Maxim’s eye. As you can remember, we were doing the vision check five days ago and discovered that there is a scratch on his right retina.

Migrating to Gallery2

I’ve decided to move all my photo albums to Gallery2. I have already started the migration, so don’t be too surprised if you can’t access some images or albums.

A whole lot of new functionality will be available after the move. Among the few are:

  • Searching for albums and images
  • RSS feeds
  • Comments

I will also try to integrate the new gallery into WordPress via WordPress Gallery2 plugin. This should provide for a unified look for all of the site as well as save some mess with user registrations and management – all your current accounts should be good enough.

I will also try to configure URL rewriting so that most of the old paths would work.

Stay tuned.

On Flickr

I really really like Flickr service, but I can’t find a good way to use it. Since I have my own server that hosts all my photographs, I don’t really need to upload anything anywhere else. My current photo albums don’t have all the functionality that I could get from Flickr – tags, search, feeds, comments – but I hope that I will migrate to some powerful album software soon enough.

Once in a while I still upload some pictures, go through galleries, and leave some comments here and there. That’s about all I do with it.

Does anyone of you uses Flickr? What’s your profile? Do you know of any way I could use Flickr together with this blog?

By the way, if you are interested, my Flickr gallery is here.
