Well finally got time to sort, clean up and upload the installation photos. Unfortunately the installation process pushed them out of order slightly. The current technology for the site does not support ordering so I cannot fix the overall presentation order. But, I did figure out what it did. So next time I will know that:

1) The photos when uploaded in groups of more then one end up in the REVERSE order to the order uploaded.
2) The photos when uploaded in groups of more then one are inserted at the BEGINNING of the album and not the end.
3) There is some upper bounds on the number of photos you can upload at once 50 at a time seems to work.

So to upload more then 50 photos do them in groups of say 30 or 40. But upload each group in the OPPOSITE order to the order you want them in the album but start with the LAST group.

Example: to upload 100 images, split into 3 groups photo 1-30, 31-60, 61-100. Then upload them in the order of: 100-61 as a group, 60-31 as a group and 30-1 as a group. The album will end up in the order of 1-100.

Have fun and Happy New Year!!

See you in Lodge!

I have been thinking that a 15" digital picture frame for about $400 would be good for the lodge. I was going to propose this idea under new business. In researching the costs I hit a major jack pot.

"The world's largest digital picture frame, the 32" SP3200." http://www.smartpartsproducts.com/content/nhome/sp3200.php

Guess how much! Well you can scan ahead... $750!! http://www.provantage.com/smartparts-sp3200~7SMPA001.htm

And it comes with its own wall mount included. (That is another $50 generally.)

What would we do with this? Put it just inside the lodge room or someplace where many people can stand easily to look at it. Before each lodge meeting (of any kind) we prepare a couple of slides: maybe some pictures, snaps from the web site, and the meeting agenda, reminders about old business, some suggestions for new business, as well as any announcements about up coming events. We load them up to the this thing, turn it on and let it run a slow slide show. We tether the remote control to it and let anyone stop the show to hold the image on a particular item. It has pretty easy to use remote.

When the lodge meeting starts we turn it off (saving power). After the lodge meeting we could put up a different slide show, or turn it back on to the original slides.

I like the digital picture frames since they can take almost any memory stick, preparation of the slide decks will be easy enough that at least one officer could do it and it doesn't require a computer hooked up to it to run the thing.

Fraternally,
