Yup, another late night, or early morning depending on how you think about it. I was over at a friend‘s [archive.org link] place giving him a hand with some code I wrote, and teaching him the zen of CVS. There was no bowing involved though, sadly 🙂
I’ve spend the last few hours with photographs and memories. It started with me watching Kindergarten Cop and doing some more scanning of baby pictures. About halfway through I decided it was getting a bit tedious and boring, and that scanning some more modern pictures would be more interesting for a bit. Anyway, I grabbed a bunch of unlabled, unsorted pictures, and started going through them in preparation to scan and present the best of them.
All I can say is wow, talk about memories! Things I hadn’t thought of for years, and people I haven’t seen for longer suddenly jumped up at me. This is why people take pictures I guess 😉 In the process of trying to figure out when they were taken, and who they were, I managed to employ my nifty online journal (that’d be this thing) and an even older journal that tracks some really scary thoughts and feelings and events back to 1992! One of the lines in there was “Grade 12, Finally!”. Shit, that’s 10 years…. (Aside: shouldn’t there be a reunion or something coming up soon then?). Wow, that’s a long time. Lots of interesting things as I went through the really old journal as well. Anyway, a lot of detective work was used to figure out things, and most dates and people were figured out.
I have started playing around with assembling a photo album. Must be something you do when you get older 🙂 The start is here for those interested, don’t be afraid to comment (esp if there’s a “who the hell is this” in the description), or if you’d prefer, wait till the unveiling (not that there’ll be much difference between then and now, except the homepage will change a bit to move pictures from the arctercam page to a gallery page. By the way, the software is from gallery.sourceforge.net [archive.org link], and works well.
Of course, being me, I wanted to just get one or two going before I went to bed…. grrr…. almost done now.
