Ladies and Gentlemen, Photo Gallery version 1.0 is alive! yay!

Ever since I got my first digital camera back in 1997 (thanks, Nichol - oh, and Happy Birthday), I've been taking pictures of just about everything and they're laying around here on my hard drives, various Jaz carts, and burned onto CDs.

I've always wanted to make these photos available on the web sorta like what Philip does on Photo.Net. Previous attempts to do so manually have failed due to the amount of annoying HTML coding involved. I gave up on hand-coding pages for my Europe photos after about 10 of them.

Tonight, I finally got around to writing a script that will do all the database work for me. I can just type in informaton about each photo and the script will generate a nice page for me. What a relief. Now, I just have to organize the photos and type in some descriptions.

I've begun with photos I took a few weeks ago of fire damage up in Los Alamos. Just click on the photo to the left to see it (and admire the dynamically-generated gallery page. woo!) Since I have hundreds of images I'd like to show laying around, I'll start throwing them in with these entries when I have time. They may not be topical, but you can just deal.
