Someone asked how to set this up quickly and easily… the idea being:
1) you have a host somewhere on the interwebs that’s accessible via SSH and runs a squid/proxy for you
2) you have a macintosh
3) you don’t normally do unix-y things
4) you’d like a command-line quick and easy setup to allow you to proxy your traffic (web/chat) through your ssh host and sqiud

I dislike gallery programs as well, why I have no idea. I think I wanted to write my own sometime in the past. I may still do that in the future… something with a nice web-form to upload images, user privileges and comment capability… sometime, when I have time and don’t have other obligations.
