I installed a fun, new plugin for the gallery. If you go to any picture, there will be a link to a puzzle in the sidebar. You can then turn any picture into one of two types of puzzles!

Here is an example with my kittens!

Using the Piclens plugin with Firefox, you can browse any of the galleries in 3D!

If you send your pictures from your camera phone to cameraphone(at)hardcoredreamer.com with the word pic in the subject line, it will be auto-imported into the gallery. This should be fun, assuming we don’t get spammed.

Success! Every thumbnail, resize, and movie still has been built! It took quite a bit of work and some switching around of certain plugins, but the gallery does not need to generate any images when a picture is requested.

In the meantime, I have munin monitoring the server and I am very pleased with how smoothly everything is running. I have given MySQL much more ram than it needs for the sake of performance, and have been watching the free memory to make sure there is enough for http processes. Of course, I was able to free up many processes by using mod_security smartly.

Would you like to add your gallery photos to your facebook? Well just create an RSS feed for 4 items and install this app! Also, if you have Windows, you can have your gallery as a rotating desktop background with GLoSS!

Here is how to embed any of your albums as a flash slideshow in your Myspace, Livejournal, or website that accepts the <embed> tag for flash!
