Re: [APML] New Web Site



Chris, Bert, Scott, and Brian,
 
Thanks for all your kind words.  I didn't realize building a web site was so time consuming.  I wouldn't even want to think about how much time goes into a Buy.com.
 
Chris, I got lucky on that particular aurora.  At the time, I wasn't really following them.  I basically just walked outside at the right time and the sky was on fire.  I drove to dark skies and began taking pictures.  I really don't think I'll ever see another aurora as bright as it was; however, I'll keep hoping.
 
Scott, I really enjoyed working with the Adobe Golive and Photoshop combination.  It made creating the web pages really easy.  However, there is a nasty copy bug in Adobe Golive when you copy one component to another, tweak a little, and then save the new component.  Adobe Golive completely shuts down, even in Windows 2000.  Definitely a nasty bug; otherwise, I've had very few problems with it.
 
Brian, I really enjoyed taking the Comet Ikeya-Zhang images.  It was my first time to use the Pentax 67 as an astro-camera.  The Fuji NHGII film really did a nice job, and so did Tony Hallas in scanning them.  Actually, Tony Hallas scanned just about every picture on my web site.  Comet Ikeya-Zhang and
Hale-Bopp are my favorite comets so far.  I just wish I had the Pentax 67 when Comet Hale-Bopp came around in 1997.
 
Again, thanks for all your kind words.  As always, web sites are always in a state of flux so I'll be tweaking it probably forever.
