CF Instant Gallery demo :: upload a zip file, get a gallery!

This is just a simple demo, no database or xml (yet) so no captions or other data, but the function is fun, and easy...
http://www.mredesign.com/demos/zipGallery/index.cfm

Upload a zip file containing some jpg images, give your gallery a unique name (folder with same name will be created on server) and then wait... while the server uploads and unzips the file (with zip.cfc), resizes all of the photos (using Massimo's tmt_img.cfc) and then displays a gallery ready-to-go.

Current skins include Project Seven's Slide Show Magic and Image Gallery Magic, plus the interesting (and easy) FrogJS Gallery and a quick HoverBox CSS Gallery

Go ahead... try it!
If you have any problems / errors, please let me know by leaving a comment on this post.
(or if you don't want to wait, there are some sample galleries on the right side of the upload form)

This was just a quick workbench experiment, to show the upload/unzip/resize routine in action.
Future plans for the 'real' gallery include either an xml or mySQL back end, with captions, titles, categories, etc for a full-blown instant gallery maker.

All comments appreciated.

Hike-O-Rama :: Kanab's 'squaw trail'

we did it.
all the way up the squaw trail.
 
it starts just behind our house - I go up there almost every day, but only to the first overlook, about 20 mins.

Today I took all 4 kids and the pup - about 2 hrs up and 1.5 back - climbing I dont know how many hundred feet and ending up with a one of a kind view of our little town of Kanab, Utah.
 
Took along the new digital camera, and just had a play with PS's 'photomerge' - a bit blurry in a few spots but you can definitely get the idea. We could see a looooooong way from up there.
 
2 panos here - one smallish, one huge
 
The farthest dark line on the horizon is the grand canyon's north rim
(our house is in the lower left of these photos, just a block from the new red townhomes you can see under construction)
 
man I am beat... but what a perfect day this made.

Snow!

Yes it does... and it did... all over southern Utah
<< view from as far out on back porch as I was willing to go in my slippers >>
