Family Pictures

Treasure of memories:

One of the most exciting projects of recent time was to create a picture store for my family.  Normal options like Flikr, Picassa and host of others have wondeful sharing options but have limitations:

Generally have limitation on how many pictures can be stored onlineMay limit ability of others to download a full resolution artifacts.

So I decided to lean on the open software and launched picture site of my own on a Linux environment.

The Software stack is Linux 2.4, Apache 2.x, PHP5.x, MYSQL 5.x.

A minimal customization gave me a theme for my Gallery that I felt comfortable with.  Now we have over 2000 pictures on it.  We have many albums which are fully hidden  and not visible to anyone other than users of the site.  In additon the users are able to create Hidden and Secured and any combination that can even eliminate access by other gallery users.  This I think is very keen as I can now keep pictures of my old (ahem!) friends without nagging from wife for introductions!!

On a serious note, it has slideshow based on piclens which is a totally out of the world experience.  Don't believe me?  Try it.

Oh, yes, the site is located here.
