I have a temporary location for the 100 or so Whitby New Year photos I've done out of the 500 or so I took. Let me stress that this is TEMPORARY — I need to set up a proper site on reddragdiva.co.uk and put them there. But you can have a look now. faerierhona's faith in my photographic eye is greatly reassured!

Gallery 2 sucks as badly as arkady said it did. Creating, uploading and maintaining albums is easy, but it's far too much work to get the galleries to look only half like arse. I'll see what I can beat out of it. Fotopic still shits on it for usability and presentation.

I was going to use LiveJournal photo hosting (I have a gigabyte courtesy a paid account), but not only does the gallery format suck ... but you can't bulk-upload by FTP or scp, only with their client software. What the fuck.

Getting my photos up in any sort of timely fashion relies on getting the laptop working — my recent productivity was because I was doing them on my daily commute; I have far too many other things to do at home. I need to find time to strip down and rebuild it in the hope of bringing it back to life. The service manual is indeed relatively clear.

Update: Anyone know how to get Gallery 2 to email you comments people make on photos? I can't see anything obvious. Someone did a Windows binary ... I suppose I could hack the PHP if I had to.

If the Perl one worked with MacOS X out of the box I'd probably use it!

Hmm, dunno about OSX but I needed to install one XML perl module I think, and then create .fotoup.conf in the following format:
