Travel & Humanitarian Photos
It’s been a while. How are you? How have things been?
Me? Oh, I’ve been pretty busy with one thing and another. Thanks for asking.
Unfortunately, the .Mac web site, from which I’d hoped to see great things, has been experiencing “some speed issues in Europe”. I liked being able to update my site from anywhere and the iLife software was easy to navigate but the speed of uploads and downloads was little more than ponderous. I struggled along with it for a while, wondering if it might have been something in my set up but after several e-mails to and from the .Mac support team they finally came clean and admitted to a less than sparkling performance on their European-based web sites.
I’m sure that it will improve but until it does I’m back with a proper ISP and a piece of software called RapidWeaver, which is proving to be first class. I’ve put all of these new web pages together with it and managed to integrate it with a customised PhotoShelter installation that will go live as soon as I’ve finished populating the photo galleries. The advantage of the PhotoShelter site is that it will allow me to sell prints and photo licenses online with the minimum of daily management from me. Whilst the Digital Railroad web site was also excellent, it doesn’t yet offer the levels of integration.
I’m quite excited about the new site and the way that I’m hoping it will work. You can get a preview of the image galleries by visiting http://archive.gavingough.com.
I’ll be posting more to the blog in the next few days so we’ll be able to catch up.
In the mean time, you might like to entertain yourself by compiling your own Top Five Commuting Tracks, in the manner of the Guardian’s “OK Commuter” column. The one below, from a correspondent you may be familiar with, was published in last Monday’s Office Hours supplement.
