My Random Photos
I’ve been spending a ridiculous amount of time tweaking the random photos. It’s driving me a bit nuts. There are two different scripts that run the things, and one seems to get stuck a lot, and on my least favorite photos every time of course. I’ve tried a few things to do it differently, but I just don’t know enough about the code to fix it the way I want.
The photos are all mine, or my kids. I have a nice collection of really weird things they’ve taken shots of. Finally, something to do with them! Animal photos are easy to come by around here too. Then there are the various attempts at artistic shots of things that have caught my eye. Check out the random images every time, and start to get little glimpses of who I am. There are even hints as to where I am if you are paying attention.
Unfortunately the photo quality isn’t that great in all of them. I have a cheap camera, plus I’m still experimenting on how to get a nice balance between file size and photo quality.
It should be obvious that I don’t really know what I’m doing in setting up the site. I’m in the very earliest stages of “self-taught.†I managed to have everything set up, choose the template I liked best, then I started tweaking. Really I’m rather proud of myself for the things I’ve made work. But there are some little odds and ends of weird things showing up that I can’t seem to get rid of. It would be helpful if I could work interrupted for longer than 5 minutes at a time, but around here, that just isn’t going to happen.
At least if I blow the whole site up with my experiments, I’ll only hurt myself.
