Cant view them at work, our strict filter says its a social networking site, but I dont think I need to view them to know they will be pretty good.
Just a thought Steve, but have you ever thought of doing a timelapse style thing, set up the camera on a tripod and get 1 to 3 (or so) shots per day for a set amount of time, 3 months, 6 months or a year. Would be interesting to see how the same shot changes on a day to day/month to month basis. Only down side would be it takes away the use of a camera/tripod/lens for that amount of time but could be a pretty cool series. I know I would like to see it.

If you CTRL F5 it'll stop working... you are probably looking at a cache.
I think the problem was that someone on FB with a SHED load of 'friends' found my worst album covers page, and there has been a huge number of hits, which crashed the server. I've had dozens of e mails, guestbook messages and twitter followers out of nowhere.

Terrible thing to be popular Steve! 
Seems a bit poor show that your servers can't cope with the traffic though ...
Just checked Alexa and my traffic went up 320% two days ago. It's my rugged good looks methinks.Seems a bit poor show that your servers can't cope with the traffic though ...
Out of interest my site now ranked 343,448 in the world (in the top 10th of the top 1% for amount of hits), which is SO far ahead of David Cameron and Tony Blair's sites, that I'm quietly smug.

Was in Sydney a few weeks ago and found 4 or 5 'record stores', of the old style that used to exist in the UK as collector centres complete with racks to be browsed. SOme were also book stores and one of those - a huge emporium that that defies description - also had several section of music with the 33 1/3 albums taking up a lot of space. Had I had more time and been by myself I suspect I could have a collected a lot of material, mostly Antipodean, for your worst album covers collection. It's tempting to invest in the airfare for a return visit just for the pleasure of so much bad album cover photography in one place.I think the problem was that someone on FB with a SHED load of 'friends' found my worst album covers page, and there has been a huge number of hits, which crashed the server.

I might just do that. I have a spare tripod and a D2X that sits doing not a lot. The problem would be battery life. On the D2X I'm guessing I'd have to change it every day (assuming one frame an hour). I'd probably do it in Spring... it'll just get knocked over by the force 11 gales we are getting at present.My website should be back later this morning. You can see what happened here: http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/stevecarter.com

Do you think there would be a way of converting it to take a different power feed? I was just thinking that my two batteries are getting towards the ends of their lives and surely some specialist somewhere might be able to rebuild a case to accept a transformed mains supply? Or the equivalent of a Quantum power pack must be possible?Gassing Station | Photography & Video | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
