After quite a struggle to work out the kinks of an upgrade coupled with an integration, I now offer you dear reader a fresh Drupal 5.7 system with an integrated photo gallery.
There are many exciting features that I'm pleased to bring to this website, but for the moment I'll have to leave the writing of that introductory material for another night.
Some of the new features:
# random thumbnail photos
# new blocks like the "Who's Gnu" and the photo grid
# user, group, auth, permissions integration (all new accounts are handled here - single sign on)
# enhanced profiles with albums
# user albums
# mp3 playback
# flash video playback (watchout YouTube :-0 )
# manage media from the desktop
# sitemap (coming)
# input filter
# image and media manager (coming)
# improved security including captcha settings
p.s. mod_rewrite is tricky sometimes.

Some movies don't play in the browser
In addition to photos, there are also many movies here. Mostly stuff like birthday cakes and fist day on the bus stuff.
I've noticed that some of the movies don't play, but rather they only display a 'download' link. This is because the automatic detection of the size of the movie did not properly set the size information in the gallery. If you find such a movie, just let me know and I'll set the size manually so that the movie can be seen directly in the site without having to download it. Of course, you can still download the movies whenever you like.
