More Lendables Info October 2, 2007
Posted by snadra in : social , add a commentSome follow-up info about Lendables for those interested:
First, I fixed the permissions problem that was preventing you from actually posting to the sub-albums. Oops, sorry!
Second, here is the list of who currently has access to the Lexington album. If you aren’t on the list and want to be, or if you want a new city created, let me know: chime, dbday, elric, scromp, shanon, snadra, squatch, tjdotson
Third, I am looking into setting up RSS feeds, but they appear to be complicated within gallery, so I’m not sure if I can get them working the way I want. If I do, I’ll let you know.
Finally, for those who might want to see what this whole deal looks like but who don’t currently have access, here are some sample screenshots to satisfy your curiosity:
Here’s the main Lexington album, which contains sub-albums for categories:
Here’s one of the category pages, which contains individual items, each of which is marked with an owner:
Here’s a sample item page, which includes a description about the item and/or its uses:

Lendables October 1, 2007
Posted by snadra in : Uncategorized, social , 1 comment so farEven though it’s technically been around a while, my laziness and the temporary blog outage this year have contributed to my failure to announce to you all that we now have… “Lendables”
A new album has been added to the sack gallery called Lendables. This album contains photos of things that people own that are particularly likely to be borrowed by others. In other words, suppose you need a chafing dish for a party, but you don’t know who has one you can borrow? Or suppose you just got a new tile saw and are willing to loan it out to anyone who might need it? Lendables is the place that can let you do just that.
Since you probably only want to borrow from someone in your city, the main Lendables album is sub-divided into city albums. We have currently only set up Lexington, but we can easily create albums for any city with enough interest. Just ask snadra.
As a further security measure, the albums are all protected and are only viewable if you 1) are logged in and 2) have been granted access. This was done in order to avoid having Web strangers know of all the goodies that are sitting in your garage. Initial access has been given to some folks who we thought would use it… more access can easily be granted. Again, just ask snadra.
Once you get into an album to view its contents, you’ll see that items are grouped by category (ex: “Tools”, “Toys and Games”, and “Party supplies”). If you don’t see a category for what you need, feel free to create it. Please be sure to identify yourself as owner of the item and give a brief description of it. If you have any questions or problems… well, ask snadra

Posted by scromp in : Uncategorized, pics, social , 1 comment so farToday a bunch of us took a spin down the Elkhorn in honor of elric’s birthday.
I didn’t get any shots of the birthday water gun / rapids ambush but you can probably get there with imagination. I thought the snake was a copperhead, but after some intertubing, think it was just one of these. Mean, but not poisonous.
