Happy New Year
Pictures from Drew’s party are up and you can see them here. If you have not signed up for an account on my gallery, what are you waiting for! You need one to comment on the pictures and vote for your favorites. Hope everyone has a great year! (Edit: Dead link removed. I don’t do pictures anymore or an image gallery.)
New Feature – Coming Soon
I am getting sick of my old image gallery because of it’s oldness. It’s decent, but I could do better. For instance, I am sort of annoyed that I can not add a description of the image (it only displays the file name right now). I also didn’t like the fact that I could upload new images and no one would know because the pictures got buried on the 8th page somewhere. So instead of a php driven thumbnail generating gallery, I will be upgrading to a mysql database driven gallery powered by coppermine.
It’s time for me to get with the times. I haven’t had a major update to this site in a while. Other free image galleries like webshots and myspace pictures let people comment, and as a result, people would rather go there because of the interactive-ness (I created a new word).
New Features it will have:
Descriptions of images Comments Rating Images User accounts Random images Newly added images Most Viewed & Top Rated Search Gallery Slideshow Supports other image formaths than jpeg Videos Can Be Added
Well, I think the new interface looks nice (I’m customizing a skin to match my layout – ugh stupid css). You will also be able to rate images, log in, leave comments and so forth.
This will take some time and may not be ready until 2006 (I have to import every picture into the gallery and add descriptions). Luckily for me, importing is automated. 😛
The wait shall be worth it.
Annoying someone via the Internet is now a federal crime.

And an excerpt from the bill:
This is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Whatever happened to freedom of speech in this country? As a matter of fact I’ll violate this stupid ass law right now. Watch…
Dear Congress and other retarded government officials (especially Senator F. James Sensenbrenner Jr, a hick from Wisconsin who sponsored this bill), Thank you for passing a very retarded law that is pointless. You suck. Spend more time worrying about illegal immigrants and soldiers getting killed in Iraq instead of stupid people posting useless things on the internet. Scratch your asses. Signed, Portfolioso (which is not my real name, so arrest me)
Oh no! I just annoyed and harassed Senator Moron on the internet without disclosing my identity. This is a felony. As you can see, by ranting about the government, I clearly violated the Violence Against Women and Department of Justice Reauthorization Act, without mentioning one woman’s name.
Attention everyone: do not follow this law. Law Professor Orin Kerr says that “if speech is protected by the First Amendment, the statute is unconstitutional as applied and the indictment must be dismissed…”
