Gallery galore

I’ve started trying out the Gallery package to get a useful online gallery and not the five-ish crappy self-made things I’ve had so far. You can watch my progress if you like, though there’s nothing interesting there yet. Note the other username, since that user has relatively free reins regarding disk use, at least for the present time.

First impressions:

Messy to set up, but that’s no surprise for a large semi-cgi application. Whoever designed the UI needs to discuss proper font sizing with a clue-by-four. Use points, not pixels, you moron! I can barely read it!

The default skin is ugly. I found another one I quite liked. It’s buggy (black text on black, yellow text on white, etc), but I’ll survive for now.

Why do so many web designers insist on assuming that people run at low resolutions? If I set my motitor to 140 dpi (appropriate for the LCD) nearly every webpage with narrow columns breaks. End of rant. Go home now.
