I was able to get replacement code for the Linkpendium via the Wayback Machine. Yay! They archived it in March 2007, so it’s not the most current version, but who cares? Besides, it needed some serious weeding, anyway.
I’ve also pretty much finished re-loading all of my images into Coppermine[1]. There are about 600 (out of 2000+) that are still unsorted and unidentified, but I should have that finished in the next couple of days. If I don’t go cross-eyed, first. And if my hands don’t fall off.
Today I did all the digital photographs, and boy, was that ever a surreal experience. They spanned the last 4-5 years, and because they were sorted in file name order, they were chronological. Do you remember those filmstrips from grade school–the ones with the accompanying tape that beeped when you were supposed to forward to the next frame? It was kind of like watching a filmstrip of my life, only without the cheesy narration.
In other news, I had hoped to have a drawing for today, and I did start one, but it got kind of complicated, and there’s no way I’m going to get it finished before bedtime.

1. Speaking of which, there will be much bozocity relating to the clicking of images in order to biggify them. Instead of the links being broken, they will now take you to pages with completely unrelated images and metadata. For example, if there is a photo of Harriet, and you click on it to view the large version, it may take you to a lovely sunset, or a mangled Barbie doll, or a pile of old tires. How fun!
This, um, “feature” will persist until I manually update the code in each and every blessed blog post that has an image that points to my Coppermine gallery. If I emerge from this process with my sanity intact, it will be a miracle.
This only is a problem with older images. Any images I post from here on out will–God willing–be fine.
