ARGH!
i had hoped to get all the photos from the peru trip up this weekend
reality is
i didn’t even really start working on the project til friday
and quickly became daunted with executing it..
sure
2800 photos is a lot to go through
but only a few to be cut out
rotated…
this isn’t the time to go through and crop and balance, etc…
just put them up..
WELL
i thought i’d do it through Photoshop (7)
and it just didn’t do what i wanted…
the only slide show feature it had
had no stop button!
and most of the screen sizes were tremendously off
plus
there was no way to directly link to a full size image
i was dissapointed and frustrated.
so i looked through other things i had on my computer:
the dreamweaver was missing components
sutterbug needed to be registered for output
graphic converter was even more lame
iPhoto is pathetic, and only compatible with .Mac
… and none of them REALLY did what i wanted.
so
this morning the idea occurred to me
to look into the software that comes with my domain package…
AND I FOUND IT!
… through a cheezzee corporate kinda display
but exactly what i wanted otherwise
… however
after i took the time to set it all up
it didn’t work.
frustrated as hell
i downloaded all sorts of modules
trying to figure out how to install them
and getting way over my head with Net stuff i don’t really understand
(which is alright.. most of life is over my head and i don’t really understand it..
but interracting with it actualizes me into awareness of it: Thus Understanding.)
so i muddled along
and by the time Leo was ready to go
i… wasn’t.
However
i just got to the Hermitage about an hour ago
sorted through my old APS (Advantix) photo cartridges to take into town tomorrow to get them turned into Photo CDs
when i thought i would look on line to see if i could get a cheaper deal
slow dial-up up here…
and No.
the corporate chains i’ve looked into all have the same basic price of $3.99 a CD
and that was the best i could fine on line was well
HOWEVER
in the process
i went to go look at my gallery software again
and realized that
the fuddling around i did with it earlier today turned OFF the broken module
which left one of the working ones as the only activated module…
and it worked!
so i have my test album and the first day of photos up
results at
http://www.dominicvine.net/gallery/
there will be no DSL til tuesday night in SF (if i’m lucky)
if not
wednesday night (in NYC!)
so if i can get through the rest of the albums
rotating and deleting…
i should be able to upload them all
and post them..
more here when it happens.
… tell me what you think!
