Titali dabooch li maine :D

The week has been a very hectic one, spent a lot of time preparing for the final release of Coppermine V1.3, with more than 225000 recorded downloads and several ISPs giving it as default install the dev team is happy, but I feel that major task lies ahead for us, while the software has been reported to run smoothly with more than 100,000 pictures (after a few tweaks) I am not sure how it will face up to heavy traffic. One of the bigger tasks would be profiling and then optimising the code, thankfully on the viewer side there are only a couple of files which do the grunt work.

I also feel time is ripe to roll out what I term as E-Com enabled versions of CPG these will hopefully be several distinct projects each suited to a niche – planned are versions for Paid picture gallery (read porn sites), Stock photography sites, hopefully followed by Individual Artists Sites with Print ordering and Paid photo hosting.

Also downloaded GIMP 2.0, simply put it rocks. I have always like how you have to know the science behind the image manipulation technique when you work with Gimp, unfortunately that along with the now trade mark minimalistic GUI makes it a daunting software to master… I am just about beginning. Another surprising news was that GAIM has forked to OpenGAIM. Guess with no releases since some time now from the GAIM team time has come to move on to ’s

Swati has developed Achilles tendinitis and needs to rest. The day today was spent lazily shooting some pictures of friends and then settling down to watch a fantastic movie “Teen Deewarein”

Have just returned after hogging home made Mutton Biryani from my khala’s place… time to wrap up.

And the title of this post is just a private joke, nothing more 😀

  • Opengaim LJ user does not exist, https://opengaim.sf.net/ does.

  • What a beautiful picture!

    Sorry to hear about Swati. I developed something similiar when we went bush walking last week. Saw the Physio twice. At least I can walk now, but couldn’t that first week!

    • Thanks for the compliment, Swati has the advantage of having a doctor all for herself 🙂

  • Nice picture. I love the way you manage to capture these flitty little things wih such exquisite detail! Makes a great wallpaper too! 😛

    • Thanks, in case you didn’t notice I mange to capture the larger flitty things in exquisite detail as well – those make great wallpaper as well 😉
