Well, I'd hoped to get the new photo gallery up for show before making this post, but it's starting to get late. So, I'm going to make the post now and I'll come back and add the pictures and other information I want to share tomorrow.
Today, I took the afternoon off from work because my folks came up to give us some furniture for the baby's room. We know have a dresser, most of a changing table, and we put together the crib Terri and I got last August at the highly excellent Fort Riley All Post Garage Sale. From that last sentence, you might be wondering why it's only "most" of a changing table... well, that's an excellent questions.
Terri gave a training class for the new teachers out at Ogden Elementary today, so we just met my folks at Little Apple Brewery for lunch. They had the furniture in the back of their pickup. We ate and Terri headed out. We got up and found that it was pouring outside. The furniture wasn't protected from the rain at all, so we hurried home. I had my folks back straight into the garage and we hurried to rip open the packaging and get all the parts out as quickly as possible. This is typical do-it-yourself particle-board with veneer furniture, so it wasn't going to tolerate water on it's sensitive parts very well.
Well, we got all the furniture in and found that all were fine, except for four pieces of the changing table. The hard-board pieces that got wet were immediately warped and there was one piece that had a crack in it. We built the dresser and as much of the changing table as we could without the wet pieces that were damaged. My dad is going to order replacements for those pieces. It's not too bad a hardship since they were planning on coming back in a couple weeks with a hutch for the changing table that hasn't arrived yet. Anyway, the baby's room is now panted and partially furnished. I'll post pictures as soon as I have them uploaded to the server.
This brings me to the second part of this blog. I've installed the gallery module for Drupal and Gallery so I can start posting photos, as I know all of our friends will be wanting instant updates. I'm going to open up site registrations for that purpose in the near future as well to allow full access to pictures for those who are interested.
Anyway, the gallery plugin is a pretty simple solution that pulls in pieces of the Gallery web site within Drupal, but it does work very well. I haven't yet integrated the theme yet, so that will have to be done too. Well, it's late, so I better wake my exhausted, pregnant wife up from the lazyboy and put her to bed.
Cheers.
