How can one explain? [Edited]

Sunday, January 16th, 2005

Today I received a new email submission for the gallery - thanks! After updatingthe gallery, it occurred to me that there appears to be an increasing percentage of pictures which contain a “goth” like element to them. How does one explain this? I personally never have (in the past) associated goths with HP sauce. *confused look* I DO associate HP Sauce with a roast, or on a scotch pie… And what’s up with licking the bottle? Perhaps it’s an HP smothered roast that they’re anticipating when those pics were taken? *another confused look*

Regardless of motivation, I appreciate the submissions. And besides, who am I to judge? I am after all hosting a site where people are posing with bottles of HP sauce afterall! ;-)

Don’t Be Silly

Wednesday, January 12th, 2005

In recent days, my digital camera has been accompanying the regular stuff I haul daily with me to work, the majortiy of which fits neatly into my laptop bag. The bags’ contents would include anything from chewing gum, a sharpie, some decongestant, various laptop cables - the majority of which I rarely (if ever) use, my external USB2 hard disk and of course the actual laptop itself. This morning as I was heading out the door for work, I picked up my laptop bag and the digital camera (now residing in its new Roots(tm) carry case). My wife looks at me holding the two items and as I open the door to step outside she asks “Why don’t you put the camera in the laptop bag? Surely there’s enough room in there?”. “Don’t be silly” I reply “…I have my HP sauce in there!”.

Just a thought…

I’ve spent some time this last couple of days with vi tweaking the site a bit. Yes, aside the from the gallery portion of the site, I do hand code all html in vi. A thought occurred to me the other day that perhaps I’d better test my feedback form - or the contact form as it exists now. Sure enough it didn’t work. While fixing it, it occurred to me that it’d be a novel idea to also allow visitors to submit pictures directly using the the form as well. Done.
