Wedding Day Gallery

OK, so I’ve been a little slack of late (try the last 6 months!!) posting anything not related to my personal life… and indeed it’s something i’ll try and remedy, but in the mean time, here’s a link to some photos of my big day (can you believe it’s nearly 6 weeks ago?!). This is by no means a complete set of photos, and if anyone out there has more and would like to share them with me, please drop me a line.

October 6, 2007. Daniel & Ailin’s Wedding Day

Footnote, For those interested in the technology, I’ve used the awesomely simple Simple Viewer to handle the preview – I would have made my own, but time is a premium at the moment. If you plan on using it yourself, the only thing to remember is to not have too many photos in the one gallery. At least in the free version it will try and load them all up into memory.

That is all.

Exhibit and WordPress 2.1

So, I’m a little slow in upgrading my WordPress build – primarily because I still use a great little plugin called Exhibit, which was created by Owen Winkler what seems like a thousand years ago. Now there may be many better options out there that I haven’t explored, but I like Exhibit because it’s a simple, no-nonsense image plugin. Also, heaps of my previous posts use it, so to maintain reverse compatibility I had a little hack today and have worked out how to get it and WordPress 2.1 enjoying each other’s company!! Yay :)

Since 1.5, getting it to work has been a big hassle, and consequently im still running 1.5.2… but not for long. Hopefully by next weekend I will have had enough spare time to back up the current data and migrate all the goodness over to the spiffy new build of WP. And a new theme may follow… i’ll keep you posted. Until then, revel in my web 1.5.2 ness.

EDIT : You can now download my hacked version of Exhibit for WordPress 2.1 : here – exhibit_for_wp2.1.rar. Happy posting.

Well, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!

Hope everyone has had as much fun as I have over the last few weeks :) Things are getting back to normal here now, and before all the Mexican adventures become posts you have to search for, I decided to take a few hours and remake the shiftperception.com/ homepage to reflect some of the feeling I got from the trip.

So, enjoy shiftperception.07. I’ll be adding onto it if I get time, and doing more experimentation and cool stuff into the new year (I promise)!

Leica M8 released…

Wow, what a nice camera this is : The Leica M8 is one beautifully crafted object (with a beautifully hefty price tag to boot!). Anyway, wow – im impressed. But for the mere mortals of the world, the Panasonic Lumix digi cam is (while not of exact quality) of very similar Leica-esque status and well worth a look. (photo ripped from d-preview)
