New Server!

Roxane and all,

We have been on an excellent production server, in one of the data centers where I work, for a couple of months. The new Gallery install is up and running with 445 images to dig through! The albums and images need the titles edited, but that will be another day! I have two exposed rolls of film to take for developing, so should have a few more photos up there, shortly. Roxane has lots of words, and can string 2 or 3 together sometimes, and she should have a few sentences down in no time! Thanks for stopping by!

New Server?

Roxane,

I have fixed a few of the broken links on your site – they were absolute paths, and needed to be relative paths to work in the current directory structure. I still need to get Gallery installed, and reload all the current images I have, but Gallery will make the images a lot easier to maintain, in the long run. A couple of work friends an I are talking about leasing a server in our data center, so this test server may remain a test box, and pbandjelly.org may finally be on a proper network.

Rebellious Streak

Roxane,

I lost a few notes after installing Gallery, and updating a few things on a set of small drives in the new server. I then swapped out the small drives for larger ones in a RAID array, and moved to a new FreeBSD OS install. I need to rebuild Gallery, so hang in there – I do have some more new photos to load up here. There are too few hours in the day. Roxane is just lovely, she has a little rebellious streak some days, and I cannot imagine where she got it from 😉 Time to sleep – it is late.

Words

Roxane,

Busy – busy! I have not had much time to write, here, but life is good! Roxane will be talking soon – she already has a good grasp of “bye, bye,” “no,” “mama,” “papa,” and mumbles a lot to us – she will repeat things, like we are supposed to understand. Mom and Dad were here last weekend, and Dave and Mel came down to eat dinner Friday night, then stay up late chatting, and waiting for Roxane to go to sleep… Here she comes, running into the office! I have spent a good bit of spare time installing a new server, and compiling PHP, netpbm and all the libraries needed for image manipulation, to run Gallery. I will get some time to update the text, sometime, unless there are any creative volunteers 😉 Let me know if you want a login, so you can upload images to the server, or if you want to help update the album and image tags. This is currently on DynDNS, so go to http://www.pbandjelly.org/gallery/ (now on this server) to see the gallery. Again, please let me know if you want a login to post to your own albums – the more the merrier!
