gallery.victorie.com v6.0 Online

Just a quick note to let all of you know that I have finished the theme for our gallery. Our blog and our gallery should have pretty much the same look and feel now.

Updating the Look-and-Feel of our Gallery

I’m updating the theme of our gallery to match it to the layout of our new blog. This is a major overhaul of the basic Coppermine themes currently in place. It’s gonna take a lot of work and quite some time to get it done. I’ll be testing the new theme from time to time and you may see a garbled lay-out on our gallery.

New Blog Software

The blog software we used for the previous version of VICTORIE.com proved to be insecure. So it is “out with the old one, and in with the new”. We have migrated to worlpress over the weekend. With a little help from Peter Vancorenland, who also migrated his blog recently, I got the software up and running in no time. Thank you Peter for your info.

We hope everyone will continue to enjoy our blog.

Added Old Site News to Blog

VICTORIE.com is now fully migrated to a blog powered by Simple PHP Blog. We finished migrating all site news entries on the VICTORIE.com homepage and also moved all static pages to the blog format. This marks the birth of VICTORIE.com v5.0. In the next days, we will adapt the look-and-feel of our photo gallery to make it the same as the rest of our site and that will complete the migration of our site to a fully scripted and automated site.

Moved our Gallery

I have completed the move of our gallery to our own server. All photos are now hosted at gallery.victorie.com. Feel free to browse our galleries.

Hosting Luc’s Gallery

We have started hosting a gallery for Luc Bogaerts, our best friend. Check out Bogey’s Gallery.

Increased Server Space

We dramatically increased our server space: 5 GB have been added to our total server space. It is hosted at Globat.com. We’ll use it mainly to host our own photo gallery. We are in the process of building the new gallery and move the photos from our gallery hosted by fotopic.

But the new server space also serves as hosting server for some of the little side projects we have been working on. We promissed to build a little website for a friend. It opened yesterday. Go check it out at KellyOeyen.be. The site is based SPHPBLOG: on a very small but highly flexible blog script.

Server Move Complete

We have succesfully completed our server move; we are now hosted at Combell. All pages, scripts and tools are operational again and we have added our own weblog.

Testing the New Server

I remember now why I hate server moves: there is always something that goes wrong, there is always a script somewhere that doesn’t work. Solved most of the problems yesterday, but some still remain. I’m sure that I’ll have everything fixed by the end of the week though.

Server Move

It has finally happened: VICTORIE.com has moved to a new webserver, with support for PHP, Perl and MySQL. Therefore, I can run a PHP-based blog on the server. I found simple blog software on Sourceforge. With this easy way of sharing my thoughts with the world, you’ll be hearing a lot more from me in the future.
