I’ve also upgraded from Gallery2 to Gallery3, so if you notice anything broken, please let me know.

I’ve also replaced the default banner images of fruit & trees with some banners snipped from my photo collection.  They’ve turned out much better than I thought they would – Not bad for 5 mins work with Paint.NET :)

I've scanned the photo in and uploaded it to facebook, but as facebook tends to restrict the dimensions of uploaded images I've attached the full size image to this blog post for your viewing pleasure :)

Runcorn World - The School With Just 50 Pupils

This scan was taken from the Friday May 13th 1983 edition of the Runcorn World newspaper.

Enjoy! :D

Whilst we're still trying to get everything unpacked and tidied up again, I caught a few minutes to start downloading all the photos off my camera.  So far I've put the photos from Ste and Cathy's wedding online.  The photos from the holiday (amost 1.5GB of them!) will probably follow sometime this week...

WMV transcoding for the Xbox 360 is here.

Here is an early preview for the on the fly WMV transcoding feature for the 360. Since we have other stuff that needs to make it into the next release and since this is not yet ready we are releasing a patch. Please try it and let us know what you think.

I'll give this a try later on today and post the results...
