Good point about the visibility. I've changed 
http://alberg30.org/pictures/ to make it more visible. I also linked a 
few of the albums in the main body of the page. I hope the URLs are 
stable in the gallery app.

Thanks for the offer, but it's a hard thing to split off. It's computer 
sysadmin work where I have to work with limited access to someone else's 
computer 3000 miles away. As bad as that sounds, it beats the nightmare 
of going down to the co-location facility at midnight to figure out why 
my computer is completely down, and finding that their air conditioning 
failed.
