Pownce

Yesterday i got an invite to pownce. I have heard a lot about it both good and bad, so i was really curious about it. I got in, full of enthusiasm and i came across the first barrier in social network sites, you need friends in that site to actually be able to enjoy it. So i looked around a bit, but i couldn't really do much with it. I am "the computer guy" amongst my friends, so I don't really think I will get to really do something with it unless it becomes main stream like facebook did. It does look lovely and its a good boost for me as i am learning django at the moment.

Adding some images

I just finished installing and setting up Gallery. It went quite smooth. that 1click install dreamhost has is quite nice.

I even had time to set up two small albums.

the combination of WordPress, Gallery and ActivColab seems to be just about everything i need. I am not abandoning my django project, but it might be a good idea to try and make stuff that cant already be done :)

IE, already

I haven't even been working on my site for a full hour and already there are some problems with IE. I am developing on a Mac so i cant control how things look in ie. I asked a friend of mine to look at the site and it looked like there was an image above the image that was not found. It turned out there is a special trick needed to make ie display png with a transperant background. I don't know if its still true, but i have been lazy and made it with iWeb and he generatd taht code. I will look mor einto it when i get the time.
