The Future

I've recently, replaced the entirety of my Blog and the majority of image pages with OOP code. The last step I need to take is to make the final touches on my image upload program.

From there, it'll be time to implement some of the functionality that I've been putting off. I've already set up the ability to hide images and folders from the public (the purpose is to provide a place to store images that aren't necessarily for gallery purposes, but can be used in the blog itself), but I need to start implementing it in my HTML and PHP.

I also have ideas to add to my blog functionality, such as the ability to start entries and store them as drafts for later editing. There are, also, other tweaks I want to provide for the main page, such as the ability to go to the first page or the last page.

But, more importantly than the development of this blog, I feel like I need to really start focusing on the content. The excitement of developing a functional blog with functional authentication, BB Code, images and so on is starting to wane, considering I started this project more than a year ago. The first recorded post was made on January 28, 2009. Before that, I had a previous blog that was completely scrubbed after making major development changes and before that, I had already been programming a bit of information in a proto-blog. I've been working on my website in its various incarnations for more than 1.5 years. So, now, it's time to start focusing on providing something interesting.

The good news is that spring is finally here. The past week and a half has shown a dramatic warming of the weather from the low to mid 30s to the 50s. I can finally get out and maybe produce something worthwhile photographically.

More lenses

Earlier in November I purchased the Canon EF 200mm f/2.8L USM. It was the first version. Its date code put production of the lens at 1995. It was somewhere around $550. I played with it for a couple days before deciding that I just didn't want to keep the lens. It was a lot of money and it was a focal length that I didn't plan on using very much. So, ultimately, I returned it.

After returning it, I started looking around for an alternative...

Site Design

I changed the title image from a fisheye photo of my car to a picture I took of the moon a couple weeks ago. Enjoy.
