The PI Blog. Or Piblog, part of the Piblogosphere on the Pinternet on your PiC.
Wah! At the worst possible time, the Image Gallery decided to become complicated and had a rather annoying cross-browser strop. After much editing of the page's code (and its CSS file) I decided to abandon it at the last minute and make a new image gallery. So (hopefully before the site has been viewed and marked) head over to the Media page and marvel at the impressive effects on display.
The old Image Gallery is still available on the site, if you want to visit it in its HTML Retirement Home. Just don't give it too much pity, it gets all nostalgic and starts shouting about it being "not its time yet".
New on the site:
- New Image Gallery!

Almost finished! Added to the Cameras page is a base tag, instructing the webpage that all links (ideally images) are to be loaded from the images directory. However, this raises the problem of every local link wandering off to the images directory, the top navigation bar included. However, due to some handy little features provided by the webhosts, I've been able to redirect the navigation links to their correct places. Go me.
I also need to find out if the embedded YouTube video in the Cameras page will count as the applet/object. If not, I'll suggest the Image Gallery on the Media page. If not,
then I'm going to have to settle with some cheap-looking Java clock, and that would be a definite sign of submission. Fight the power!
New on the site:
- Base tag added to Cameras page, redirected links to correct location.
- Added a footer to the pages.
- (Not really a site feature) Cleaned up the HTML across the pages.
- Added some horizontal lines to seperate the blog entries.

The site now has it's own official spot on the Internet! All the files, images and etc have been uploaded to the space provided, and the camera's demonstration video has been hosted on YouTube. Also new is the Image Map on the Index page, providing a realistic hands-on demonstration of what my current camera can do.
New on the site:
- Image Map added to the Index page

Happy New Year! And a belated Merry Christmas, too. Deadline's marching forward, in about 18 days this website has to be completed. So let's get a move on.
New on the site:
- Noise of a camera shutter plays on the media page when focusing the mouse over the elements in the image gallery.
- Added some sneaky Rollover comments in the Panasonic Lumix FZ8 images to your left. There's a different rollover image for each page.

Long time no type, almost. Since my last update on the blog (not so much of a blog, more of an update tracker) I have adapted a CSS image gallery for use with the site and have generally polished everything up a bit. The image gallery uses a seperate CSS file, as the original page structure needs to be edited for its use.
What I've done:
- Created the image gallery on the Media page.
- Added the Assessment Checklist to the left.

I've typed up a fairly lengthy and pointless review about my current camera, the Fuji A500, and includes (for illustrative and quality purposes) several images and a video taken with the camera. Asides from that, I have created an account with Flickr to show my pictures in a higher resolution. The media page will contain more photographs as I tinker about with ideas here and there.
What I've done today:
- Created links.html, media.html, and cameras.html.
- Typed up the review (and attached media) to cameras.html
- Created Flickr account and added several images.

Aargh! Just when you're happily coding away at your site, your formerly-trustworthy USB Flash Drive (one of these babies) decides to kick the bucket, wiping out all my college work and most importantly, my web project! Noes! I made a backup of my college work on the personal network drive two weeks ago, but that was two weeks ago, and I've done a fair bit of work since then. Must make backups more often.
What I've done today:
- Created index.html, default.css, blog.html, images directory and fz8.jpg.
- Created stylesheet based on previous website.
- Created content for index.html and blog.html
- Provided link for e-mail contact.
