Coppermine Gallery Installed

Installed Coppermine gallery yesterday. It was really easy - more so than WordPress, since I had already beaten MySQL and php-mysql into submission. My only regret: I’m not entirely sure where the disk footprint will reside. I use LVM, so I can resize things a bit as necessary, but I’d rather plan the installation accordingly up front.

Two More Weeks!

Our first child is due in exactly two weeks! Corinna is hoping she goes into labour early – she’s reached that uncomfortable stage. Her back is sore, she’s not sleeping very well, and the baby is very active. We’re about as ready as we can be at this point. We have most of the stuff that we’ll need. The car seat is in the CRV, the baby room is all set with crib, diapers, sleepers, onesies, socksies, and other cute baby things. And let’s not forget the diaper genie.

It’s requirements are similar to those of WP (at least the Web Server + PHP + MySQL part), so it should not be a big deal. The real reason I want a gallery? Our first child is due September 21st. I expect I’ll have a few photos to share in the next little while.

First Post
