I’m very exciting because I leave for Costa Rica in a few days, I may keep a journal of the trip but I’m not sure yet. I’ll keep it posted. I’ll post pictures when I get home too.

1. New Packages - You can now choose from four different packages: minimal, typical, full, and developer.
2. Siriux is Back - The Siriux theme was ported to the new theme system.
3. User Contributed Themes - There are now more and more user contributed themes
   to choose from.
4. New Installer Log - G2 generates now a log of the core module installation
   process which will make it much easier for you to provide the necessary information
   and for us to help you.
5. Many, many bugs fixed.

Gallery has done it again! Gallery is hoping to push out the FINAL release within two weeks. A lot of good things are happening with Gallery and I’m excited for it. you can check out my gallery and see if you like some of the pictures. I have a lot of fun taking pictures and posting them, so head on over! =D

Gallery writes..

This is the fourth and final installment in the Gallery 2 beta cycle. In the past two months we’ve made huge improvements to the product. After this, we’re going to be making only minor changes as we head into release candidates and then the final version! As with the rest of the beta cycle, we support upgrading from Gallery 2 Alpha 4 or newer.

This is a stable and reliable technology release. It has almost all of the features of Gallery 1, and many many new features that Gallery 1 lacks. We encourage you to download the latest code and play with it! Before you ask for help, please, please read the README — we’ve made an effort to answer all of your questions there. Especially read the known issues section. If you’re upgrading, be sure to scan the instructions first (it’s really easy). Then head on over to the G2 Forums and let us know what you think!

The more feedback you give us now, the better the final version of G2 will be. Thanks for your continued support!

I’ve been trying to fix http://photos.bleakgeek.com all day today, but it seems that it doesn’t want to be fixed quite yet. I’ve been migrating over from an old server so a lot of things are still broken. Sorry for the mess, I will try to clean it up as soon as possible (sometime this week).

All my sites have been successfully switched over, but I’m still working on modifying them slightly to get them functioning properly. My webhost is being a bit slaggish right now too with some tech responses, but I’ll try to get them to speed up on that.

I’ve been talking with Kaylie a lot more lately and it was been good. I’m hoping to go see her in July, so we’ll see how that goes. Work starts up again on Monday, as it will every week…bah! Oh well, it’s money and it helps pay the bills. Work is fun at times, but other times boring. It’s good experience.

[Feel free to let me know if something is still broken because I’m sure there are plenty of messes around in my area]

Recently, Gallery released another version of it’s software that I run. They released this beta with many new features that I love. A lot of custom administration work and a lot of backend coding for the main gallery itself. They have really outdone themselves this time and it’s still only in its beta stages!

They have been developing this software for the past 4 years and it has finally begun to come out into production. This is a time a lot of us in the digital photography world has been waiting for. I eagerly await the next beta as I’m sure more great features will keep being added to it. Congradulations and good job!

I was looking through my gallery a couple days ago and saw this picture, I just liked it so I wanted to post it.

And by the way, I still try to start posting more pictures on here. :)

Recently I upgraded my photo gallery to a full test of the Gallery 2 Beta 1. I like the new gallery very much and will spend some time to customize the look of it within the next couple of the weeks if I find the time. If you have any suggestions of a theme that I could make or have a theme already made that you can suggest, please let me know.

I like customizing and implementing themes into gallery so I would be happy to do it for any design.

[Modified Post] I created an alpha gallery which is taking on the new look of the site. This gallery is the alpha of what is soon to be released as a beta. Gallery has been working hard for the past few years on producing this product and it is finally coming alive. I have it up at Alpha. They are looking into using my theme possible, but I doubt it will make it into their script. The alpha has been almost completely ported over to my blog design, but could use some more work still. Keep using my normal gallery for the time being though. I’ll eventually switch over to the alpha, but not yet.

It’s a really cool new gallery and I’ll probably make all my custom design modifications there. Check it out sometime :) (Gallery2 Official Post)

Update on 03/29/05: I changed it around and moved my gallery.bleakgeek.com to photos.bleakgeek.com where I will have all my pictures from now on.
