With projects at Free Agency picking up again, and a few side projects under my belt, I have not had as much time as I hoped to finish the IMT. I have managed to almost complete the front end, which can be totaly customized by modifying the stylesheet. You can check it out here: Ilgrafica Image Management.
For the last few days I have been working on a little backend image manage system. I started from scratch on Tuesday and had it 90% complete by the end of the day. On Wednesday I just did some final tweaking to the uploading features, as well as making the interface pretty. I will be adding a few more features to it, then when I feels its ready, will release it to the public as an open source app. It should be pretty simple to setup, as I will create a simple little installer script for it. If you are interested in seeing it, just leave me a comment and I will send you the link (I don’t want a bunch of people uploading stuff they shouldnt).
This morning I switched over all my web hosting to Dreamhost. It went over quite smoothly, and I think my site was only down for about 10 minutes. It was just a matter of uploading all my sites, importing all my mySQL data, and changing a few connection variables. I know I will like it here at Dreamhost. Their support is phenomenal, and what you get for your money can’t be beat.
