SxSW Day One

Gallery

My pictures from day one of SxSW.

I’m learning a new camera (the D3) and it turns out for most of this day I was on bracket mode accidentally, so 1/5th of the pictures were correctly exposed and the rest are a little more… interpretive. Thank you to Terry Chay for lending me the 50mm lens I’ve been using. P.S. I’m using the new gallery feature of WordPress 2.5. :)

    I can only see the thumbnails, the permalinks are empty.

  • Baris Unver March 9, 2008 @ 12:10 pm

    Weirdly, I tried again and could see the images in the permalinks. Is it related to some commenting issues or did you solve the problem while I was commenting?

  • Matt March 9, 2008 @ 12:14 pm

    I’m making some changes to the attachment template, give me a few minutes.

  • Jeffro2pt0 March 9, 2008 @ 12:31 pm

    Looks like a good time was had by all. Also enjoying this gallery feature as well. Pretty excited about tomorrow.

    How do you make use of the WP gallery? It looks great :D
    Thanks!

  • TheTick March 9, 2008 @ 12:51 pm

    Uh, so I haven’t been reading the details of the new WP2.5, but there’s a Gallery inbuilt? No more wrestling with Gallery2, or puzzling over NextGen settings? SWEET.

  • Alex March 9, 2008 @ 2:32 pm

    Don’t forget to include those changes in WordPress 2.5 – ’cause in current SVN build gallery does not link to individual photos properly (to be exact – individual photo pages contant entire gallery instead of single photo).

    Hello Matt!

    I’ve been trying to make a photo gallery out of the attachment feature but couldn’t use the pages () feature like at the post. Maybe I probably just wrote the wrong PHP code? Anyway, I just use Pages (for photo gallery) as I don’t want to use any Photo or Images Plugin. Example of a photo gallery is at my weggis.net site. I’m doing the same with the Post at my other sites not using the attachment. But this new gallery may just solve my problem now. Can we also add text under the pictures at the attachments? Ok, ok, I’ll just wait for WordPress 2.5 release and see it myself.

    Thanks a lot and have a great week at SxSW!

    First off, have fun on the trip. I only just heard about it an wish I could go. But I also just skipped a class so I could go shoot a basketball game at another school so missing more class wouldn’t be good right now.

    2nd, isn’t the 50mm fun? You should go get your own before you decide to accidently lose it.

    Finally, this is the first time I’ve seen the gallery function in action. I’m impressed.

  • VCMike March 9, 2008 @ 4:49 pm

    Matt: love the gallery feature. When do you think it will make its way over to .com?

  • earobinson March 9, 2008 @ 6:15 pm

    next time dont post so many photos in one blog entry just link to an ftp or flicker page

  • m@ March 9, 2008 @ 8:50 pm

    The Papa Smurf shirt is awesome.

  • Matt March 10, 2008 @ 12:39 am

    The gallery stuff will be on .com when we port that over to the 2.5 codebase, right now it’s on 2.3. The action is on the .org side right now.

  • Runa March 10, 2008 @ 5:12 am

    I wish you could have tagged the images in a way, including the names of all the nice people :)

  • Charlie Stout March 10, 2008 @ 6:21 am

    Aside from bracketing being a little too easy to activate, any first thoughts on the D3?

  • albert March 10, 2008 @ 6:37 am

    There are still some template issues that shows up with this post. I see it with Opera, IE7 and a recent Konqueror. Firefox unfortunately makes it look good. Also, Planet WordPress shows the same issues. Seems to be related to the debug output and nested comments.

  • Matt March 10, 2008 @ 8:48 am

    You can tag people, just leave a comment!

  • Matt K March 10, 2008 @ 4:12 pm

    Nice pictures Matt.
    Especially the one of Scoble!

    Films, yea!! I’m from Austin and go to SxSW every year. This year is loaded with people really turned on. I’m thinking the election is part of it.

    I’m a psychologist starting a site on what we can learn about people and relationships through the movies.

    That Gallery Feature looks nice. When will 2.5 release? I thought it was today. I checked several times but nothing and no news from you today either! What’s up?

  • Serge Lescouarnec March 12, 2008 @ 7:55 am

    Matt

    Your name was crossed originally so maybe you should have skipped the ‘Scalable Ventures’panel altogether.
    I left very quickly as you guys were more having a conversation amongst yourselves than any thing else.
    I gave it the Most Boring South by Southwest Panel Award

    I presented the punkier Just Over 50 and Not Dead Yet panel on March 8, half of it dedicated to the attendees.

    Have a great day

  • Matt March 12, 2008 @ 8:02 am

    Serge, very sorry you didn’t enjoy the panel. It was definitely aimed at people who want to geek out about servers and server software, so if that’s not your cup of tea I could see it being a real bore. I hope you found something else that piqued your interest.

  • Rannie Turingan April 2, 2008 @ 12:47 am

    Hey Matt. Am I supposed to set up a new template in order for my galleries to look like yours?

    I just updated to 2.5 and posted 3 galleries already. Figue out how to change the posting sizes. However, on my individual picture pages, they don’t have the nifty forward and back thumbnails like you have.

    PS: nice commenting icon ;-)

  • Rannie Turingan April 2, 2008 @ 12:55 am

    PPS: How do I go about getting a nifty avatar beside my comments?

  • Matt April 2, 2008 @ 12:50 pm

    Sign up at gravatar.com.

  • Rannie Turingan April 4, 2008 @ 9:50 am

    Thanks for the tip. Strangely enough I was already on the system, but without an actual avatar.

  • Rannie Turingan April 4, 2008 @ 9:51 am

    PS: ya never did answer my question re. gallery templates.

  • stormulf April 14, 2008 @ 6:26 pm
