Through a colleague at work I recently discovered one of the best picture gallery scripts I have come accross so far.
http://www.picsengine.com/

The reason I haven’t found it earlier probably lies in it being from a French developer on a French website. However as my French improves I am discovering a whole new TLD (.fr) with a lot of great stuff in it .

Unfortunately the script only comes in French so I decided to translate it myself. I’m afraid you will have to download it and install it in French but after that just download the language file here.

- rename to en.php and put into your /admin/languages/ folder
- open /admin/library/Core.php and change

// Language load
require_once($this->root."languages/Francais.php");
$this->language = $language;

to

// Language load
require_once($this->root."languages/en.php");
$this->language = $language;

There is one known bug: even though there is a section to translate the add comments popup box and everything else in the language file it seems to be hardcoded into the Flash file.  So if you click on add comment you will still get a French dialog.

Enjoy and if you find any mistakes please let me know.

I have to work today… but it’s not all that bad - I have the whole internet connection at work virtually to myself. So I decided to download a Linux distribution to play with - 690MB in under 6 minutes. :-D
Then I went over to speedtest.net to see what the speeds are and here you go:

 Didn’t know we are classed as an ISP as well

I saw this video today and it really inspired me so I thought I would share it with you all on here. Have a great day!

Wow… time is really flying. Ella is already 7 months old and will start to crawl any day now. The house we are building is also taking shape - seems like yesterday that we were still sitting over plans racking our brains about every little detail. To then suddenly stand in the almost finished basement like we were able to do last week-end is just amazing. It does look quite different than on a plan - some things suddenly seem a lot larger others a bit smaller than we thought. I (Andy) saved up 3 weeks of my holidays to be able to go up and work on it. The first week will be in November and from there it will be every two weeks until Christmas. Until then the house should be up and standing and we will spend some time next year working on the interior. But first we need to finalize bathrooms, kitchens, electric outlets, plumbing etc… all these details do tend to take up a lot of time. It’s amazing looking back at the original plans and seeing how much we’ve changed in the meantime. We are getting really excited about it and look forward to the first BBQ we can have out on the lawn.
