2005/05/12:
• created groups architecture -- Groups - Geographic (11), Civilized (5), Special (6)

• transfer to Database layout is now complete with 1796 files in database. The Database is only used for creating HTML files before transferring them to the website, there is no database lookup on website itself.

• Keywords added to database - cross referencing by Groups, Location

• All work related to database took over 50 hours, but this also included in addition to database entries / updates, (1) stardardizing filenames to use year-month prefix, eg. 2005-05, for easier finding/updates, and (2) improving pictures which initially did not get enough attention, and (3) a few new pictures were added.

• It was a necessary step for managing future growth... but it was done Primarily to manage descriptions, and matching the description for thumbnail pictures (many per page) to the big pictures (one per page). I wouldn't do it if it wasn't for a good cause.

2005/04/28:
• Database lookup setup in 20hours of work, +20hours of code adjustements and setting groups: Animals/Cats/People/Greece and another 20hours anticipated (includes moving and adjusting image colors/dust)

reading Microsoft Access Database from Visual C++ -- C++ code parses HTML files with <a href><img> tags and only takes the thumbnail name and looks up the rest, the Directory/Group names and Description for ALT, and another C++ code does the same for large pictures (one per page).

• With 1596 photos currently present in database ( Website Pictures Count currently shows 1964 ... real number will be about 1800 at the end) , this allows one place to be modified and easily propagated for whole website (multiple uses of the same picture are common). It allows consistency and the change is done in one place only.

2005/04/17:
• 26 pictures added to Animals -- Cats, Birds, Squirrels... Animals and Greece pictures examined and adjusted


2005/04/10:
