Changes in patGal

Monday, June 20th, 2005

Even thou I didn’t get it in for the contest, the project is still alive. However I have been thinking abit about it and I will add a functionality I haven’t seen in a webgallery yet. However the feature I am talking about is taking over pretty much all photoorganizers on the market. What I’m talking about is tags instead of categories.

This means you can add a picture with multiple tags to get better searching options as well as a nicer structure. I’m aware that some users only want categories and with this method they still can. They only have to add one tag to each picture and the gallery will work just as any gallery software out there. Only thing remaining is how I will build the structure. Maybe make it like a normal category based gallery, but make another “tag index” where you be more specific about what pictures you want. If you got any suggestions or ideas, you know what to do. :D

“Fy faaaaan!”

The title is a swedish curse and was told to me and my partner walking hand in hand in Stockholm city this weekend. It was said by a “normal” man in the age around 50-55 something walking with his wife. Apparantly he doesn’t fancy us gay people as much as I do.

These things doesn’t upset me or discourages me at all, it just makes me curious of what the man get out of saying stuff like this. I would understand better if someone really hurts their hateobjects, but just saying out a curse isn’t much worth if you ask me. He didn’t even use any “feeling” in the words, just like a normal line; “Fy faaaan!”.

Since I like debates and discussions, this would have been a golden oppertunity to confront the man and ask what he had against me (us). It was in a crowded place, so if the man would have turned violent we would have loads of witnesses. However it all came so sudden and I think I was in a middle of a conversation with my partner. Just didn’t have time to react, but next time the “harasser” won’t get as lucky as this time.. ;)
