Excellent.  It sounds like you're pretty much sorted from the
getting-photos-off-the-camera point of view.

I use xv for quickly examining pictures (eg, to discard the ones that just
didn't work at all for whatever reason) simply because it automatically
scales-to-fit-screen and has a good slideshow option, and then a bunch of
home-written perl scripts (which use Image::Magick) to do the resizing,
index building, etc and put them up on my website.

There seem to be plenty of "photo album" applications out there, but I
suspect many of them are in the "I started writing this and got
distracted" category.  And most of them are too "one program does all,
take it or leave it" for my tastes.
