One of the ways I de-stress from all the mortgage crap is by working on this site. For me anyway, there’s an inherent satisfaction in telling the webserver exactly what you want and shuffling elements 2-3 pixels until everything looks dandy…as opposed to, say, trying to lock down an interest rate fluctuating to reactions in the marketplace about some government bailout of financial companies.
I finally got around to integrating the Pictures page with the rest of the site. This blog runs Wordpress; the pictures are hosted with help from Gallery2; the glue is a little plugin called WPG2. I made the theme, and since it’s not the most flexible in the world, I’ve been shoving the default Gallery2 interface into the mess. A bit of CSS scrubbing and PHP code hunting, and the Pictures section looks like it belongs with the rest of the site.
Anyway, yay to me.
