Leah made scones this evening and we had it with Devonshire clotted cream and jam, and tea (well, coffee for me) while watching Yes, Minister DVD. How British of us!
Orlando vacation photos
I’ve been a busy bee! This weekend, noot only I coded I also scanned and uploaded the photos from our vacation in Orlando last December. Enjoy!
Have the lessons been learnt?
With the spread of the BSE widen in the U.S., one question that interests me is whether the U.S. government has learnt from the European experience in the last decade?
Would the USDA continue to deny any risks of infected meat in the food supply (like the U.K. Chief Medical Officer in the 1990)?
Would USDA heeds to the advise of the scientists (unlike the U.K. minister) ?
Would officials of USDA pulls a publicity stunts like the U.K. agriculture minister with his six years old daughter?
More importantly, how long before public realize the magnitude of this discovery and express concerns for their health?
Will there be a boycott of beef products in the supermarket like in Europe? How would this affect the restaurant business, especially steak houses? And what about the cattle industry?
Honeymoon Photos
Over a year after our wedding, I’ve finally scanned and uploaded some of our honeymoon photos in Florence and Rome!
Please excuse the rather sparse captions and titling of the photos. I am trying to get this publish before we leave for Orlando. Ideally, I should set it to sort by location.
Dreamweaving
As a consequence of canceling my UK internet account with Demon Internet, I have to move my photo site to Leah’s .mac web space. This prompt me into consider revamping the site. It was originally built more than three years ago using Microsoft FrontPage! Now it looks old and outdated. So last night I finally downloaded a free Dreamweaver sample site that works pretty well as a photo site and started hacking around. To rebuild the whole site is going to be a large undertaking but I think I am finally fed up with the old site enough to force myself into action.
You can see this new site (work in progress) here. All of the images are not setup yet but I will be working on it throughout this long weekend.
To build this new streamlined site, I am using Dreamweaver MX, Firework MX, and Photoshop Elements 2. And if anyone knows how to setup Dreamweaver to upload my files directly to .mac iDisk via WebDEV, please let me know.
