Those naughty desciples…
This was the image on the front page of the Herald this morning. I saw it without reading the headline or the article first, and my immediate thought was (I am not making this up) “Sweet! ancient gay porn!”.

Oh, Thomas, verily I doth wish that I couldst quit you.
and that was your dose of anachronistic brokeback humour for the day!

I’m no art historian, but I would imagine that before the discovery of perspective artists were always worried about accidental smoochings.
And mad props to your bloggy software. It’s awesome. And to the blog in general, have I just been missing it? I’ve nabbed the feed, so I will be totally up to speed.

Well, I had one, but it didn’t work with the gallery I had installed (Gallery 2.0), which was also amazingly slow. The site was also the default WordPress template (see Ian’s blog for an example) so I redesigned the site, put up a placeholder image and forgot about it for months. Que to a few weeks ago, when I installed Word Press 2.0, and the PixGallery software (which I had to h4x0r together to work on Linux and how I wanted it).
I just wrote an AJAX picture browser plugin for WP/PixGallery to go on the posting page, as I’ve set up WordPress to be the CMS for the updated websites for work, and it needs to be simple enough for drunk monkeys to use. Basically, the editors/authors/maintainers will just upload files (pictures, mostly) via WinSCP to a directory off their home folders on the server, which is mapped to a subdirectory on the server, and then this thingie lets them navigate through that folder showing thumbnails, inserting them into the post/page via a mouse click.
