Believe it or not, this thing actually started as a place to convey site news and share trip reports as a means of a teaser for new additions to the photo gallery. Within months, it began to gain a life of its own with musings of outdoors activities such as hillwalking, cycling and photography all finding their way on here. The first of these is the major focus these days and never seems to fail to yield something new to be shared, whether it's an idea for a trip away, something new in the outdoors media, a new piece of outdoors gear or even mental meanderings induced by the weather or the wonder of nature. I hope that you find something of interest, whatever it might happen to be.

A new engine for the photo gallery

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

I mentioned at the end of April that the photo gallery was to get a new PHP/MySQL "engine". However, the fine May saw to it that I did a lot of walking rather than finishing it off. In fact, it was this past weekend when the weather was in a less clement mood that I managed to finalise things and let it loose on the public. There may be some spots of roughness remaining with the new underpinnings but I'll be making any refinements that are needed. In any case, it should be a lot smoother than the previous Perl/PHP/XML edifice that served me well for so long.
