It never ends. I’ve been coding for two days straight, and I’m still not finished. Things are coming along nicely though. I made long overdue major revisions to the MySQL database structure of the site, which impacts just about the whole back-end admin. That’s what I’m still recoding at the moment. I did finish most of the updates to the front-end gallery pages that display video & audio. Check them out sometime!
The video & audio section both have a “show info” button that lets you view the title and caption information. I also programmed the site to take EXIF style information out of audio and video files and store it in the database. That information is also listed in the “show info” section at the bottom. The video section also has a slideshow feature now. It works like a photo slide show except that it pops open a window with a bigger scaled up version of the video. You can also choose a super big 960px video view as well! The show will advance to the next video automatically after 10 min or you can just click backwards and forwards to navigate through the videos. It’s pretty cool. The only bug I’m having an issue with is making the original video stop before the slideshow window pops up. It sucks because you then get two video audio tracks dueling each other! Very annoying. Hopefully I’ll figure it out soon. I’m in the process of trying to add support for flash galleries and the “multi” page idea is coming along nicely. We’ll see if I survive the next day or two. 
I think I need to take a break soon and go take some photographs! I’ve been wanting to do a night series of big bright places so I’m hoping to do that sometime this week. I also really want to shoot some portraits but everyone here is so lame! If anyone wants to model for me please let me know… I need some new faces!
OK, time for a bit more coding and then it’s bed time for me… I’m jogging bright and early tomorrow! I’m not sure how I’m going to pull that one off. I’ve been staying up until like 2 or 3 am coding for the past four days… I’m thinking a very stiff cup of coffee made syrup style in the little french press and I’ll be good to go… maybe…. I think I’m at 21 miles now… I’ve ran 7 days and did about 3 miles each time… So yeah, 21! Woo Hoo… Now if my cute little smiling belly would shrink up, everything would be just fine. Running has been fine for me and after the first week, three miles isn’t hurting anymore at all. I know I have good muscle underneath, but I figure it will take about two months to be in tip-top shape again. Not having a mountain bike, scuba access, hiking trails, the beach, etc. has been killing me! I hate this suburban sprawl… Oh well, work with what you have, right?
