Life's busy. Well over 9000 digital images now.
Am gunna havta do some definite deciding of what sort of themes might be practical to have online, since it's getting rather impractical to consider the entire collection.
Another issue is that the autonumbering is only 4 digits (i.e. up to 9,999) so we'll have to consider what happens when the numbers 'turn over', like on car odometers.

Friend is asking me to supply him with some of my 'take same photo from same place over time' type images so he can track how the CCD in the digicam is changing with time & use. (Well, 'deteriorating' is the word he uses.) He's pretty impressed at how well the Canon Powershot A30 is holding up. Am rather hankering after, say, A70, which is, I think, 3 megapixel image where A30 is 1.3 Mpx
Seen the news about Kodak discontinuing 35mm consumer cameras in "developed" countries? Also Advantix cameras. Not linking at present, 'cos I saw news on Yahoo, and they don't keep their links static for long.

Meanwhile I think the US Mars Rovers have 12 Mpx CCDs onboard, and they're putting them into panoramic views, which are going to be chunky to download. But I want them.

Welcome to 2004.
Oh dear. It's been a while since I posted anything here. Am still working on photos. There are now over 8,800 of them. Lots of editing needed. Am also setting up place with space to keep them online.
The computer is mostly working. The other personal working-out of stuff is partly done, but there's more to be fixed before things are cleared up.

You may wish to check out the various ramblings on the other blogs (also mentioned below), viz, Hello Cruel World OR Another Dark Little Corner
There are still some problems with the images on Chris' Memorial Site, but many pictures are fine, and the rest works OK, if you're interested.
SMH has done a few things with reader's photos - will have to link to them for you.
