After a bit of looking around, for the best gallery application, I've settled on SlideShowPro. While it does require Flash (version 7 or higher, but I'm requiring version 8 or higher for mine), and it did cost some money, it's a great little application.

It's my birthday today. Originally, I had planned on writing about what today was like, as well as where I thought I'd be in a year and in 10 years. However, I'm afraid I'm rather under the weather, so that's all out.
