[Daniel] Gallery Is Back

The gallery is back up and running. Basically, I cleanly wiped out all of the old data (save for the pictures themselves). I then dropped each of the 44 tables created and used by Gallery in the database. Then I reinstalled all of Gallery. Finally, I recreated all of the albums and re-added all of the pictures. Total time consumed: 1 hour. But I'm glad to have our pictures back up and happier still with Gallery 2.0. Lots of nice features and really well done. Too bad it weighs in at 25 Mb without the pictures. So many features I don't need or want. But rolling my own would NOT be a good use of my time at this point so I'm not going to pursue that any further.



In other news, everyone's favorite tropical storm-turned-category-5-hurricane Rita is on her way. By Saturday, we may be getting slammed as they expect it to still be a category 1 by the time it reaches Austin.



It's very strange to think about. The worst weather we had to deal with in Wisconsin were tornadoes. No hurricanes, mudslides, earthquakes, tsunamis, nothing. Now, it's a different story. Kinda freaky, especially as Houston is being evacuated as I write this. The lines of traffic on CNN coming out of Houston boggle my mind...
