More Updates

Several months ago I talked to Andy about some gallery software that would allow me to post the thousands of family photos I've scanned to the web. Friday he asked if there was something I would like him to work on as he was tired of his current task.

I mentioned the photo gallery software and twenty minutes later he had it up and running. It took him the better part of the afternoon to get it configured, but it is remarkable! It is an open source product called "Gallery" and it has all the functionality I imagined plus a bunch more!

I haven't been this excited about a piece of tech in a long time! Not only is it a neat piece of software but I can export directly from Picasa2, which I have been using for a year to manage all these pix.

Also, this week, I got my Treo 650 cellphone. I've wanted one of these for a long while but the price was prohibitive ($600+). Recently Palm released a new version with more web functionality which I don't need and I was able to pick a nearly new phone for a lot less! I can use all the Palm software I currently own from my long list of past Palms. So there has been lots of software and hardware configging going on this week!

While walking the other morning I came across this scene. I'm not sure why I found it so funny, but here is a stack of totally useless stuff offered for "FREE!" Amazing!



















Also, this weekend, the lovely Katelyn met her great grandparents on the Matson side. The Nelson great grandparents met the first day she was born, so now she's been introduced to full range of the tribe!
Katelyn Meets the Matsons!

Well, that's it for today!
