A slam dunk spot of productivity

Giving it my all most of the evening last week, I decided this weekend to just relax and not do a lot of project work, if any at all, and not feel bad about it. I still felt a little weird, but I did get to watch some movies I haven't seen in awhile (Shaun of The Dead and Total Recall... Sharon Stone was hot with 80's hair).

Given my deep thinking about photography, I was thinking about how there has to be an easier and cheap way to upload photos, lots at a time, to PointBuzz. The little Java app that Facebook uses is ideal, but it's a hundred-something dollars I don't want to spend just for me and Walt to use. (This is, what I hope to use for CF though, eventually.) So then I realized, just FTP photos up to a specific folder, then let something on the Web site admin suck in those files.

So that's what I did. I cranked it out in a half-hour, and it works brilliantly. You send up files with whatever FTP program, go to a page in the admin area, pick your album or the name for a new one, and it imports them into the system. Then you can add titles and all of that.

I needed something like that. Something that went quickly, was easy, and didn't cause me any pain.

Shaun of the Dead is one of my favorite movies. Hot Fuzz was pretty good too but not as good.

The Winchester?

"Kill the Queen!"

"What?"

"The music!"
