I've started on our Cozumel 2004 trip (I have a little over 1000
pictures to sort through, this has taken me a bit longer than I
expected). Also check out "proud to be an Aggie".

On http://www.pyron.org/cozumel2004.html, is there supposed to be more there
than just the link to the toadfish? If so, then it's not exactly FireFox
friendly...

Just the one, right now. Like I said, a picture's worth a thousand
words and I have a million words to sort through.

When I have a lot of photos that I want to put up quickly on a page, I put
all the images in a single directory, write a quick shell script to build a
list of the files and an HTML page listing the images, possibly with
thumbnails... You can use "Easy Thumbnails" to do a batch conversion of the
images to thumbnails and it prepends a "tn_" to the original image name...
"Easy Thumbnails" is freeware and can be found at the following URL:
http://www.fookes.com/ezthumbs/

First, build a list of all the files that you need to convert...

ls -1 *.jpg > OrigFileList.txt

Now, run "Easy Thumbnails" on the directory, generating all the thumbnails
in the same directory...

Now, create a script file called "BuildHTML.sh" containing the following:

echo "<HTML>"
echo "<HEAD>"
echo "<TITLE>My Photos</TITLE>"
echo "</HEAD>"
echo "<BODY>"
echo "<H1 align=center>My Photos</H1>"
echo "<HR>"
while read line; do
echo "<P align=center>"
echo "<A href='${line}'><IMG src='tn_${line}'></A>"
echo "</P>"
done
echo "</BODY>"
echo "</HTML>"

Now, run the script file with the following command line:

./BuildHTML.sh < OrigFileList.txt > MyPhotos.htm

At this point, you've got at least a basic web page with all the thumbnails
on it and hyperlinks to the actual photos if someone clicks on the
thumbnail... You can now go in and change the generated HTML file to pretty
it up, add comments, etc...

Of course, this all assumes that you have a very minimal UNIXish development
environment installed upon your Windows machine like MKS Toolkit or some
other similar set of tools... You basically need 'ls' and 'sh' ('bash' and
'ksh' should also work)... If you're one of those Windows-only types of
persons, then it's left as the proverbial "excercise to the reader"...

Ooops... Fumble fingers strikes again... At least the code I posted

My problem is I want to sort through the crap pictures. I tend to
shoot a lot of film (and Carol shoot a ton of digital) for a few good
pictures. My land camera has a motordrive and when I go to the races
I may shoot up a roll in ten seconds at the start (when "interesting"
things can and do happen).

I am a Unix god. I breath sh and csh and do Perl in my sleep. I've
presented papers at Usenix and LISA. I also have two real unix boxes
under my desk, and HP and a Sun. Both kind of old, but old unix is
still good unix.

I use cygwin on my Windows box. At the very least traceroot and whois
are far superior to anything I can get otherwise.

Ever use cat to boot and build a machine. Somewhat drawn out, but
I've done it in a pinch (sick machine, no media).

Oh well... Can't help you on the filtering part... Figured I could give you
a quick way of putting them up there that you could filter and edit at a
later date... Sorry you couldn't use it... Maybe someone else will have a
use for it one of these days... When I take a lot of photos like that, I'll
put up a quick page with thumbnails or perhaps with just the file names and
links to thumbnails and full images... I try to eventually get around to
editing the generated HTML file and getting rid of the crappier images... At
the very least, it lets Grace have a link to the images that she can pass
around to her friends...

Actually, I'm a UNIX daemon... I fork a child whenever possible and when I
get bored with it, I kill it... Unfortunately, sometimes the child will not
die properly and it becomes a zombie... Sometimes, you need to kill the
parent of the child... Sometimes they just need to go to sleep... Of course,
one cannot touch a child, be it their head or their tail... One can tar a
parent, but for safety's sake, a crypt is necessary...

Haven't ever got around to trying it... For what I need usually while I'm on
a Windoze box, MKS Toolkit is sufficient... If I need more than that, I'm
usually on some type of UNIX box anyway...

Nope, but I've worked on UNIX boxes that didn't even have 'cat', much less
anything else... Embedded UNIX for a particular device aboard certain
aircraft... I've also had my share of installing UNIX from tape and
floppies, booting from either... Earliest UNIX box I probably ever worked on
was a 3B2... Before then, it was IBM mainframes and cards... The 3B2 was
absolute nirvana compared to having to deal with card punches...

That's good. I remember teaching a VMS internals class (I was a VMS
wizard at one point in my life) and being very careful to ennounciate
"fork queue".

I still have a COBOL program card for the 029. And I've IMLed my
share of 360s. I used to know the boot sequence for PDP 8s and DG
Novas by heart. Load the paper tape reader, use paper tape to load
the floppy reader, use the floppy to boot the disk.

Also did that with 8080s and 6800s. I guess we've all done our time
in hell.

Anyone who was not a UNIX person might get a strange look on their face
reading my previous comment... I knew a guy once who was rather religious
and he seriously believed that UNIX was satanic because of the references to
daemons, the killing of a child or a parent, forking, zombies, and other
such things... Of course, you can't reason with that sort of person...

I never really liked VMS... Yeah, the old VT-52 was a 'ell of a lot better
than the old cardpunch and IBM mainframe, but I preferred UNIX -- even UNIX
on a teletype terminal...

Yeah, as much as I dislike the Microsoft way of doing things, things are
better these days and I'm willing to consider them a semi-necessary evil...

I like the "proud to be an Aggie" picture, but it's fake. I prefer this one
(http://tinyurl.com/n7ndq) and it's not fake.
