Kristi and I went to the Calgary zoo over the weekend and we each took about 6 rolls of film, they have an impressive list of animals, the only regret I had was no shots of the gorillas or the butterfly exhibit. But there will be a next time. I also noticed today that Google for some reason has not changed there images to reflect Easter?

The gallery appears to be working fine now, I had to change how it navigated a bit to make it work the proper way. So if anything goes wrong contact me with errors.

Thanks.

Well buy now you have probably noticed that the gallery is all messed up, I’m in the process of upgrading to WPG2 and gallery 2.1. The WPG2 plug-in seams to have some bugs that they are working on. So I hope I can have it fixed as soon as possible.

Thanks.

Tonight will be a full moon and I will be trying my friends 1000mm mirror lenses with my old canon FD conversion with a 2x teleconverter and then the 1000mm lens taped and reinforced with a bamboo sushi mat, and if everything goes right the image will creep out of the top and bottom of the frame. I will have to take a bunch of shots since this lens does not saw what f-Stop it is, I’m assuming its f-8 but again I’m just going to fire through a bunch of film and hopefully something works.

I managed to fill my iPod last morning, and now I have to daunting task to sort through it and delete the unwanted. It’s a lot of work. On other news I have been searching for the punk version of the “mahna mahna song� I think it was by a group called Skin, but I don’t remember. If you know please let me know.

Ok, so in Edmonton and some other Canadian cities there is a daily newspaper called DOSE it’s got what’s going on here and there with all the little things you might want to know about. Back to the point, there was an article on urban infiltration, as in people exploring every inch of there city and getting photographs off the beaten path. So that got me looking into other sites. This brings me to Daily Photography by Kendall Anderson. This site is full of fascinating pictures of the forgotten industrial buildings and surroundings of everyday life. Many of them look like people just walked off the job and the buildings were left to there own destruction. It makes me want to go out and search for more buildings, as far as I know this was the only one I could find.

Things have been a bit slow; there are some things in the works that might prove to be interesting. I’m working on details for a website proposal and seeing if I can wrangle up the information to make it happen.

I also made a converter that will adapt the old Canon FD lens mounts to Canon EOS. The outcome was unexpected; I lost infinity focus and gained macro. So it seams to work great. I used a 50mm f/1.8 with a 2x converter with a macro filter to get even closer. It seams that every shot has to be on a tripod. But other than that I have the film here and waiting to be developed, I think it will be neat.

Happy holidays every one and have a safe new year.

Ok so yesterday was my birthday and i got a iPod, you know the new one that plays video and photos and such! YEA! I know it’s sweet. My wife made me a cool cake and she ordered pizza (my favorite). Well ok I’m done bragging now its back to putting music on the Pod.

After a long period of time it seams as though I have finally stopped tinkering with the new site. Well there are some things I still want to change bug I have all of my old content in WordPress now and have figures out how to make Gallery2 work for me. My next step is to move all the files of the site around and I hope that won’t mess anything up!!

All I want is to figures our how to make gallery2 work with WordPress, seams simple looking at all the other sites out there that are using it, but I’m not grasping something. It sort of works but it looks like garbage.

My main problem is I cant find any definitive information on creating a theme for gallery2, and any themes I do use don’t seam to over ride the main screen of the gallery so there for I’m back in the beginning.

HELP….

I have been reading way to many different things, PHP books, CSS articles theory and my head is swimming with ideas now. I’m finding that WordPress is more complicated to modify that I originally had planned. I would like to adapt it to my own needs have a good competent gallery run without needed to have a external program.

So as I sit here and code away I am slowly developing my theme for WordPress. The next step would be to install a gallery that works well with everything, I tried my hand with the gallery2 for WordPress but dealing with all the “stuff� there was in there to move around and creating another theme for that thing just wasn’t appealing.

So I hope everything goes well and I can release everything all in one smooth motion.

Why can’t the world work the way Mozilla Firebox does? As some one that deals with the internet on a regular basis I like things that make it easy. And as some one who makes things for the internet I appreciate people doing things the proper way. Now I’m talking about coding and the differences between Microsoft and the rest of the free world.
