Well, after two years this Tell is finally seeing "print" on the Internet. I've been "spining" yarns as WWW pages for about six months now, and although there has been a place-holder URL for this page since Day One, it has remained near the bottom of the stack ... until today!
One reason that I have taken so long to bring this piece to the Web is that I wanted to learn more about the Art of HyperText Authoring. This page has over a dozen "leaves", free-standing HTML files that can be referenced from any URL. I knew that it was too big to present as a single file, and the partitioning was a no-brainer (a page for each image that I talk about), but I wanted to play with a couple of other Big Pages to get a feel for the paradigm and create a "style" of my own.
Another reason was that the image quality sucks … and I don't mean it just merely sucks - it really Most Sincerely Sucks. :-) OTOH, it's a color slide of a photograph made on silk-textured paper, and I have better image processing software today than I did two years ago.
The Main Reason was that I wanted to locate as many of the originals as I could, either the prints or the negatives. Some of them I have had placed on Kodak PhotoCDs, others I scanned myself.
I've changed my file naming conventions in the last two years, so the image names reflect several sources:
After a haiatus of several weeks (while getting Linux up&running on Brucilla) I have just spent the last few days in a marathon of revising HTML files, FTPing them to the server, viewing them with Netscape to check the URLs, and then iterating until satisfied. I'm pretty satisfied with the results.
That is all I have to say. -=DAH=- (18-Sep-95)
