Too Much Fun

I have to say, javascript is just too much fun.

You may have noticed that the thumbs at the top of the page have gained a roulette feel. Sorry, I just couldn't resist. I decided that I should start playing around with dynamic content; i.e. changing web-pages on the fly.

This turned out to be remarkably easy. Therefore a small tweak to my random thumb code and suddenly the pictures are spinning like a fruit-machine.

The speed of updates is 50% less than the previous update. Meaning that things change quickly, but also slow quickly to a reasonable cycle rate.

There is method in the madness. I'm also working on some ASP photo code for the new gallery. My ideas are beginning to take shape on this, which is pleasing. ASP and javascript turned out to be substantially easier than I anticipated (years of driver writing taints you I guess).

I'm working on a dynamic content photo gallery with some pipelining optimizations for the content. In particular EXIF extraction for creation of the photo commentary and a whole new concept of photo rating, never yet seen on the planet (well by me at any rate).

Watch this space.
