Over the weekend I worked on trying to set up a gallery for the site. Apparently, I’m starting to get the hang of CSS and PHP (haha, yeah right) because getting the gallery layout to my liking was far less frustrating than originally getting the site set up. I used the Singapore PHP gallery web application, which I suppose is pretty low-tech since it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles a MySQL database would enable (huh?), but it’ll do for the time being.

Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough time to prepare any new photos to stick in the gallery, so instead I uploaded some old photos from my August 2002 trip to Hokkaido in northern Japan. Sadly, the originals were all lost when my laptop was stolen last year (must . . . suppress . . . rage), so the images in the gallery are smaller copies. You can access the gallery by clicking on the “photos” link in the menu on the left or go directly to the Hokkaido photos directly by clicking here. The photos are crap, I know, but I’ll try to put some new ones up soon.
