AtomIC Album Online
Thu Mar 01 2001

Whilst not exactly a DearDiary announcement, this is to let people know that the AtomIC Album is now online, after days of last minute development and testing. Its cost a fortune, but it came out on time and on budget (mostly cos we didn't have a deadline and definitely no budget ;-))

Also, as a result, if you want to include a picture in your diary you can do so without knowing HTML at all.... Simply include something that looks like the following;

[album 1 lakwal20.jpg]

Would produce;

[album 1 lakwal20.jpg]

and [album 1 lakwal20.jpg thumblink]

will produce a thumbnail of the picture, with a link to the larger picture, like this;

[album 1 lakwal20.jpg thumblink]

Anyone can view the pictures, only Premium Account holders can actually have an album.

The software is version 1.00 - that means to say that we know it is missing a LOT of features. We have a lot in the pipeline to come on with it, for example the ability to group images into logical categories (each author will be able to configure their own category), and improvements to the Search interface. But in the interests of getting it online after Geocities stopped allowing people to link to their images, its there and useable...

Go take a look at album.atomic-systems.com:)

Steve.

    A few questions: Can one get a subscription JUST to the pic upload part?

    What is the owners offical stance on these parody diaries? Some of the language is very offensive, even allowing comments about killing minorities and such. And is it only okay because those being attacked are gay and a man who wears makeup and dresses in drag?

    I think that this diary should not be listed in the Top 10 Diaries because it is bascially just a FAQ diary and stuff. My opinion.

    What's up with the premium subscriber thing? It makes some users feel more valuable than others. Before it was equality...everyone's diary was the same. Now the subscribers get special perks. I don't think we should have to pay to get what they do. Do you all really need money?

    Comment left in NastyNicks diary :

    Parody, Fun? If that were true you wouldn't be going after Rick and the others in hiding.
    But just as your real diary always indicated, you are, nothing.
    Spineless, weak, and rotten to the core.
    You do this to hurt, not to entertain as you claim.
    You are in absolute terror of being found out.

    You want everyone to think you are a nice person. You're not.
    You would have a breakdown if someone did this to your real diary.

    I would imagine Matt and Steve would have your head if you did such a thing to Hammie or Viivi.

    Because it's Rick and Sparkler being heckeled it's okay. After all, you have deemed them lesser people.

    That in it's self makes you a bigger bigot than Boot.

    Bigotry is only fit, if you get to be the one to choose the infidel.

    I don't think it will be real hard for you to figure out who wrote this, do you?

    I didn't think so!
