The music composer of The Legend Trip is none other than…. drumroll please….

Brian Borgh, my younger brother. You can see his now official entry on the Internet Movie Database. Congratulations to him.

Also I added pictures to the gallery from my Grandma’s 80th birthday celebration. Sadly my family wasn’t able to attend with all the craziness that was going on around the time (mainly with poor Belle’s hectic schedule) but luckily my uncle Pete was able to provide a few pictures from the event. Happy belated Birthday Grandma. We’ll try to make it up soon.

Upgrade Part 2

well, ok, now the upgrade is really done, and it has wactually ended up being a doozy.

The gallery will now be a part of the blog here. At first I was resistent to this but the more I looked around the more I appreciated how nice and cleanly some people were integrating the gallery software into the blog software. So that is how it is now. The old gallery link will work (always actually) but it will “look” kind of ugly and bare bones, pictures will be small, etc. It looks much better inside the blog in my honest opinion.

Speaking of the updated gallery software, I have made a few special modifications to the software itself. At the bottom of each picture you will now see one or more links to display larger versions of the pictures in a separate window. This is for people who want to use a picture as a desktop background or who just want to save the image to their local computer.

You can also now print the images through printing services Shutterfly and PhotoAccess. These links are only to check the sites out and get a feel for them. From within a picture’s page just select the printing option from the drop down menu on the left side. A new page will come up and give you sizes you can print that picture at (this depends on how large the original picture is) and the prices for each print.

I also got a few new pictures added and will be working on adding more soon.

So new things on the site all around. Will write again soon.

Upgrade is done

Ok, upgrade should be finished now. The blog (what you are reading) is now upgraded to WordPress 1.5.2 and the gallery is now upgraded to Gallery 2.0.1. If you read this over the past day you would have likely seen all sorts of oddities. Well, they should be done now, we’ll have to see.

I actually had to create a plugin for WordPress that allowed me to easily show pictures in my blog entries from the gallery. The most interesting result from this you will notice is the Random Image in the sidebar. Clicking it will take you to the image page in the gallery. The gallery link below it will take you to the top-level of the gallery.

And to insert a picture into the blog is now as easy as

Sheba

trust me, that was pretty easy (the dog in case you were wondering belonged to Bill Keller, a good friend of the family who recently passed away).

So does this mean I will update the blog and/or gallery more? No, but hopefully I will anyway. It does mean though that some others have access to making posts on the photo galleries so hopefully that will get some more life.

Will I ever get this right?

So long story short. I upgraded my gallery recently after getting just frustrated with not being able to upload pictures to the old software version. This in turn made me realize there is no easy way to link the new gallery software to the old blog software. So I decided to install a newer easier to connect blog software. What you are reading from now. The software is WordPress and the link for it should be available somewhere at the bottom of the page.

As for things new with me, not much. Belle just celebrated her 5th birthday, and there were Halloween celebrations as well. Will get pictures posted from all of those as soon as I can.

I got my ipod. My current list of songs on it as usual can be found here. Overall I can’t tell you how much I love the little thing. Takes listening to music to a whole new level.

Should be buying Star Wars Episode III tonight on DVD. Easily my favorite of the prequel trilogy, and IMHO better than Jedi and even Star Wars from the original trilogy.

I watched Plague of the Zombies this weekend. If you are into great 60′s Hammer Horror, this movie is not to be missed. Well, it’s not really a classic, but there are worse ways to kill a Sunday afternoon.

New on the above mentioned gallery are pictures from my Uncle Lloyd’s 50th birthday party taken by my cousin Becca. Should have more pictures up soon from relatively recent past, though in the meantime I have lost my battery charger for my phone. So I either have to drop $50 for a new one, find the old one, or spend $1000 on a new camera. Here’s to hoping I get a new camera. ;)

And I leave you with a plug for a movie my buddy Jason Satterfield is directing and producing. The Legend Trip. He was approached by an interested distributor (who I don’t think I can mention) so you should all be able to see the movie after it makes its premiere at the Times Cinema next spring. Also someone close to me should be doing the music, but again I don’t want to say anything until I hear something official.
