ramtopsmy eyes, my eyes ... too many cat photos
I haven't really been happy with the cats' site since its last incarnation. All the functionality is there (although it's a tad ... messy, codewise), but I don't like the design; too bland.
so while I was Ill last week, I did a new layout - its the sort of thing I can do when I'm only part functioning. My plan was just to reskin what was there - new graphics, change the CSS, that sort of thing.
and then this week Macromedia released a new version of ColdFusion, the application server we use on our web sites. It's very different from v.5, which is what we've been using, so it seemed an ideal opportunity to learn it on a real live site. So we've been wrestling with the new stuff, working out how best to optimise the code, using the object oriented features, etc. Long way to go, but it's coming together.
some of the infrastructure behind the site is less than optimal - we've learned a lot since we wrote it. And the master image directory is shared with a couple of other sites, which isn't ideal, and needed addressing. The image stuff really needs redoing from scratch. So ...
today, we've gone through the digital images directory, and pulled out about 360 cat pictures which we want on the site. And tonight, I've been Photoshopping them ... 157 down so far.
I'm going to have nightmares, I know it ...
