Blue Sparks

Half my Smashing Pumpkins collection is mislabelled on the PC! Of course, this is the first time I’ve actually went to listen to it on purpose since I got it (probably 2 years). For the most part my collection is on random and I never look at the song name….

*sigh*

So, I upgraded my blog from bblog to wordpress. I figured it was about time for a change. I was really getting tired of all the spam comments and bblog’s lack of ability to deal with them. I probably should have changed a long time ago, but I was just lazy…

WordPress is definitely nice, but probably waaaaay more full of features than I really need. Oh well, it looks and feels very nice. I’ve added another last.fm plugin for wordpress, and this one actually downloads album images rather than just song names!

I also tried to upgrade my gallery from gallerypy to gallery2. I’ve tried this upgrade in the past, and it didn’t go so well. I should have stuck with my gut feelings, but I was interested to see how a wp->g2 plugin would work. While it worked reasonably well, I still can’t get past gallery2′s stupidness. I really hate that I can’t just point it at a folder of pictures, which are already on my site here, and have it parse them. I don’t have the time or willpower to sort thousands of pictures into albums… when the folder heirarchy I already have does that just perfectly as it is!

Anyway, I just hacked the template for gallerpy so it would look like the blog. It’s exactly the same thing I did with bblog a couple years ago! C’est la vie… take the easy route I guess!
