Still looking at new photo gallery options, because, you know, if it ain’t broke, I gotta fix it.
(Please reference the gallery’s death warrant as to why it must die.)
Stick with Gallery, because it’s too much damn work to upgrade?
pros: no more upgrading work, EXIF data already there. cons: lots of uploading work, need to manually rotate photos, bitter about upgrade woes.
Export from iPhoto and rsync to web host?
upside: simple, forces me to tag photos before putting them into iPhoto, potentially more space available if I keep it off the web host. downside: forces me to keep photos in iPhoto, with the attendant database hell.
Write my own perl script to generate the code manually?
good: perl or python, I could use more experience. bad: hello, time? EXIF data hard part.
Move to Flickr?
+: popular, lots of features, privacy controls. -: popular, public, none of my family actually uses it, so privacy controls are worthless, limited bandwidth.
Choices, choices. Hmmmm.
(Did I mention that I figured out a way around Gallery’s uploading wonkiness? FTP/rsync. Good old fashioned file transfer. Duh.)
This is: brett's logjam → May 17, 2006.
