How long have i had XP?  Years…..  I have just figured out how to modify my music folder so the contents can be searched by artist, song, genre, date, or whatever criteria I want.  There is great satisfaction in having figured this out and I roll my eyes at how long it took me.

Soon we may have one file for our music.  Our solution till now has been to duplicate everything and list it differently.  Luke is going to have soooo much more room on his drive now.

Once, some time ago, Christina said that this could be done……   I have kept looking for how, off and on, till now.  (Could have asked, but it is satisfying to figure it out.).

Here’s a question…

I’m working on getting a gallery created. A place for me to upload pictures for viewing and such.

I’ve been writing my own; nothing really fancy, but a fun project.

I’ve also been looking at a few other pre-made versions.

Whichever way I go, I still haven’t figured out what size of photo I should put up on the site. The source material is 3000×2300 pixels; they are usually 2.5mb in size. I think those might be a bit overkill… but I’m not sure what size people are after.

So I’m left with a few things I can do:

  • Upload huge versions and let ya’ll downsize as you want
  • Upload not so huge versions and e-mail you huge versions on request
  • Upload small thumbnails and e-mail sizes requested.

Considerations:

  1. convience to users
  2. space used on webhost
  3. bandwidth

( #3 isn’t really an issue to me right now, but it’s a valid consideration.)

Thoughts?
