In July 2004 my host, advised me to get rid of all flat-file based cgi/perl programs and switch to less resource intensive php/mysql.
I became a traitor and abandoned album.pl for the much lauded coppermine.
While Coppermine is, indeed, a fine product, they have one major drawback: a development team who has only contempt for the users of their product.
Anyway, why am I rambling? Because of the negativity I have informed my host that I am switching back to my flat-file perl image gallery program which has supported me (and I have reciprocated) for many years. They will be monitoring my resource usage carefully and will notify me of any situations.
Thus, witness the return of King Lizzard's photo gallery at
