The dennis.ca server succumbed to a rather severe power spike recently and died an appropriately snapping, crackling, and popping death. Finding recent backups helped cool a rising panic, and everything has been more or less rebuilt and recovered.
One of the side effects of the rebuild was that I finally decided to skin Gallery to match the main site a bit better. I've used it for ages to store my photographs. Gallery is a great tool, but the most recent version includes a pretty gaudy selection of default skins that I didn't care to use. This is the result. Nothing fancy, but at least it looks more like the main site than before.
Given the shortage of decent Gallery skins (at least as a result of my searching), I'm making the skin ("dennis_simple" (66Kb)) available under an Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.5 Creative Commons license. It isn't perfect, it isn't guaranteed to be bug free, but it validates as WC3 CSS compliant and is a drop-in for Gallery 1.5. Note that I've not tried it with Gallery 1.4.x or earlier versions.
Should you find problems, please let me know in the comments here. I'll do my best to fix any problems uncovered.

The gallery update looks good - fits right in with the rest of your site! Nice

Thanks, J. Just as I get it working the new version of Movable Type is released with fancy new templates... Go figure! :)
