Michael McDaniel’s Dawning Awareness

I never thought of it this way before, but David is spot on. Every slippery slope argument I can remember making was really covering for a general fear of change. Read about it here (you’ll have to scroll down to find the article on slippery slopes).

Hi-larious gallery of bad album covers, with funny commentary. Link

I’ve upgraded the picture gallery software. It now includes the ability to vote for pictures in addition to the security enhancements. Let me know if you spot anything out of the ordinary.

I upgraded both Gallery and Movable Type to the current versions. Each of the packages is “just about” to release their next big mondo release, and I can’t wait to see if things are about to get better.

See, the problem with Gallery is that pictures are identified by what album they’re in. So, if I move ‘em, the URLs change and all my links from MovableType break. Thus, I’m forced to never move pictures between albums, but that’s a big pain because what I WANT to do is have a “current” album with all the latest pictures and then have archive albums with our favorites organized by topic. Gallery makes that pretty near impossible.

However, if MovableType implements TypePad’s gallery functionality and improves on it just a little, it might be just what I’m looking for.

Oh, I also installed the mt-close plugin so I can easily close the comments on all my old entries, avoiding comment spam to a degree. Whee!
