Character Problems with Zenphoto

I am currently fiddling with an install of zenphoto, mainly to replace the incredibly slow, bloated, and annoying Gallery2 install I have for my photos (yes, my friends may stop clapping now). During the aforementioned fiddling, I received an error when trying to save Edits to a specific album. The error is this:

Error: The albums director () cannot be found.

A Google search on the matter did not help, as most people had problems with their database location. For that reason, I wanted to post for future users that my problems was a result of the “+” character in an album name. Once I removed the plus characters, everything worked fine.

If I help even one person…

Fast-Quick Internet Meets Slow-Conservative Buying

I am catching up on last week’s Economist and came across a small article on Blue Nile, an online middle-man for jewelry sales (mostly engagement rings). I remember when Blue Nile launched in the late 1990s for a couple reasons, including the fact that it was crazy you could buy high-end jewelry online. Yes, I will be sure to point my grandchildren to this blog post.

Anyway, here was an interesting and amusing snippet from the article:

Some 85% of purchases from Blue Nile are made by men. On average they pay $6,200 per engagement ring and take three weeks to make up their minds. Yet the majority of visitors to the Blue Nile site are women, who browse and e-mail pictures of the stone and ring they want to friends for comment, and ultimately to the target fiance-to-be.
