Coppermine vs Gallery
The time came (yesterday) for me to update my Coppermine photo gallery install. It’s probably been 2 years since I installed it, and no doubt there are many impressive upgrade options that I’m missing. Well, look I did, and none could I find. I updated to the latest stable, and essentially everything looks exactly the same to me.
So I had a look around for other similar software. And thanks to an ILUG post from the few months ago, I found Gallery. This is a considerable step up from Coppermine, and it’s a lot easier to install/set-up.
Until I can find a nice way of redirecting from Coppermine to Gallery, I’m going to keep both sites running.

Using Acupressure to alleviate Jetlag
Sounds insane doesn’t it? So insane in fact that had I not heard of its effectiveness from a reliable source (a co-worker), I would never have considered trying it. But try it I did (on my most recent Ireland-Argentina flight), and most effective did I find it. Extremely so in fact: thus far, I have experienced no jetlag from the journey (where I would normally spend several days recovering).
So what is this miracle cure? It involves massaging (or applying pressure to) certain parts of your body, at certain times during the flight. It’s a little complicated, so I think it best to leave the full explanation to the experts: Jetlag Treatment from NaturoDoc.
Many thanks to Stéphane for bringing it to my attention.
