Sarah went out this morning to her first La Leche League meeting (you should blog about that, Sarah), so I seized the opportunity to upgrade Gallery from version 1.5.2-pl2 to 2.1rc1. The new version has lots of nice new features, including vastly improved security when it comes to keeping one's photo repository outside of the Web server root.
On the other hand, it required the configuration of a MySQL database and, for some odd reason, this version has lost the ability to auto-rotate portrait photos on import, based on a bit in the EXIF tag. Why wasn't this feature carried over from version 1?
Anyway, all of this was in preparation for uploading the long-overdue photos detailing months eight and nine in the life of the world's most beautiful baby.
In addition to these two new albums, the Tall Timbers album contains a lot of new photos from our recent trip to see Fenella, Tim, Cameron and Willow, out in rural Maryland, USA. Some of those are really lovely, so if you're the kind of person who coos over cute children, you won't want to miss that one.
Phew! That should keep my mother-in-law quiet for another month.
