Photo gallery has returned!

After my hosting company updated PHP Gallery2 stopped working, but after a few hours of work which included downgrading PHP, upgrading Gallery2 and then upgrading PHP…… It’s back! A huge thank you to Greg Stoll for his fork of Gallery2.

New domain name

I lost the halfawake.org domain that I owned for 10 years because I forgot to renew it and hadn’t checked the email account the friendly reminders were sent to. My registrar OneStop, who I no longer use, said I could recover the domain for $265. That price seemed a “little” high so I decided to wait for the domain auction. Well I didn’t win and whoever did nicely put it up for sale at a starting bid of 550 Euros.

So here we are with a domain I owned years back and no one else took when it became available. I just have to replace the references to the old domain with the new one so there may be a few issues until I find and fix them.

Housekeeping

I just did a little bit of housekeeping, not the literal cleaning around the house… the fun virtual kind. I removed my twitter feed from posting here. This place was seriously looking like, well actually became my Twitter archive.

Morning photos of the canal

Since I work out of my house I’m not usually out in the morning before 8AM.  My wife was sick so I took one of the kids to school and had to take these shots of the power canal.  That is one of the two photos on my flickr account.

Ultimatum

No, it’s not an ultimatum, it is Ultimatum, the band.  Jen’s friend boyfriend is the bass player and we’ve been going to their shows for awhile now and they asked if I would take pictures at their shows.  So just visit their Myspace page to see the pictures and to listen to their covers.

Edge of Darkness, Mel Gibson movie

Took a couple photos of the Edge of Darkness movie set that is on top of Mount Sugarloaf in South Deerfield, MA

Google AdSense

I received a friendly email from Google requesting that I remove AdSense from my Jenna Haze nude album since it is against their TOS.  Oops.  I had 3 days to comply so I removed it from Gallery since I don’t know if there is a way to exclude it from specific albums.  If anyone knows how to do it please let me know.

Canon Digital Rebel

I finally purchased the Omni Bounce and the lens hood for the Canon 28-135 IS lens.  I meant to buy these years ago.   I ordered the remote at the same time and that will probably show up next week.  I posted a photo of it on my flickr account.

Jenna Haze PGLAM photos

The remaining Jenna Haze photos from PGLAM have been posted into their own topless and nude albums. They will be password protected with a simple password just to keep people from unintentionally entering them.

Kasey’s Prom

Kasey’s Prom was Saturday night so we took her and Nate to the parking lot at the entrance to the fish lab at the end of our street. I had them stand in the shaded area since the sun was so bright. I took some photos of the two of them and of just Kasey and Jen. Then Jen took a couple photos of just Kasey and me. We were kind of rushed since they had to go to other people’s houses and of course they all wanted to take photos too. I wish I had time to take more photos so I could get even better ones. With Jen’s help we picked out the best of them.
