It’s time to make some updates. Today I’ll try to upgrade to WordPress 2.7, later I’ll probably change the site layout. So if gloda.net gets the hickups, don’t worry, it’s just me getting my fingers stuck in the WordPress cogwheels.
3.1. 11:30pm – The upgrade to WordPress 2.7 is now complete. My internet connection is unusually slow today so the whole procedure took longer than planned. The changes are mostly behind the scenes and make it easier for me to add and manage the site content.
5.1. 14:15 – I’ve now pretty much decided on the theme for the new layout. The next steps will focus on customizing the template I picked. That means that the site may look out of shape while I’m playing around with the settings.

London, along the river

I couldn’t very well live two hours away from London for three years and not go there to take some photographs at night. Alison and I took a ride on the London Eye, then walked along the river waiting for the sun to set. The HDRs have been combined using Photomatix Pro 3. The zoomable hi-res panorama of the Tower Bridge below has been stitched using PTGui and is presented here using PSCS3’s Zoomify plugin, integrated into WordPress using the Kimili flash plugin.

Connecting Generations
[kml_flashembed movie=”http://gloda.net/pb/20081122generations/pb.swf” height=”529″ width=”720″ wmode=”transparent”/]
About an hour ago the results for a photo competition entitled The Connection Between Generations (Lëtz: D’Verbindung tëschent den Generatiounen) organized by 45Plus together with photogen.lu were announced. My photo above won the public voting and convinced the professional jury. I’m now the happy winner of a Macbook, the photo will make the first page of a calendar and I can take part in a workshop during the Rencontres d’Arles.
I’m a happy camper, and the least I can do is to share some of the behind-the-scenes info of this photo. (more…)
