A load of old pictures have been added to the gallery - have uploaded half of the 2002 May Bumps JET photographic photos. These are pictures that have not been on the website before. (Better late than never.) Pictures of lower crews will be added once I've found out crew lists for them. I've also started some of the preliminary work required to import the old gallery photos into the new system - so there is a good chance this will start happening sometime in the fairly near future. | ||

Since I was in the mood, also've imported some of the archive of '99 from Hogley's website, as you will see... | ||

The more observant / obsessed will have noticed a few more pictures... the gallery now holds 1948! :-) Of all those from the old website gallery there are only about 100 more to add. 1) Browsing it I think one of the best ways of picking your way through the large number of pictures is the listing by oarsman - which you can get to by going to Gallery->by Rower. 2) Crew lists mistakes If a whole crew is visible in a picture, the gallery uses the crew list as defined in the results section to work out who is in it. Therefore, if the list of people is wrong because the results section crew list is wrong then going to Results->Enter Results and correcting it there will also fix the list of photo subjects. Anyone can do this, or you can send email to admin@firstandthird.org with the details of a mistake if you prefer. (There are few ideas floating of possible uses for the huge amount of data we've got on here, but we are going to want the data itself to be right if they're going to work...!) However, if correcting the crew list requires defining subs for particular races (or for particular days of the bumps), then please simply put details of mistakes into an email to us at this stage because this needs the attributes of the picture to be edited (which isn't working yet!). 3) Bugs / navigation Having added all these pics., a few problems with the listings and navigating around the gallery have surfaced. It will get better - and ideas for how to make it easier to see what you want would be very welcome. 4) More pictures There are more pictures - going back to '96ish, which will hopefully appear (but in a more gradual fashion) and will satisfy better those of my own generation. | ||

Ok, by popular request have added full thumbnail indexes and tweaked the format a bit - pretty much finished now unless I hear any more ideas/suggestions... (With so many thumbnails everywhere, it might be a bit slow to use if your web browser isn't storing all the pictures as "Temporary Internet files" on your computer (called a cache) - particularly over a modem. If your computer is slow at getting thumbnails the second or subsequent time you look at them, try deleting all the temporary internet files on your computer (under Tools->Internet Options in Internet Explorer) to make sure the cache isn't full.) | ||

The matrix will have to wait while i get back to some work...! Meanwhile if anyone has any problems with the funky new picture viewer thingy (that cryptic little icon in the gallery icons) can u email me? | ||

Extensive usability testing has been under way... The 'breadcrumb' type trail at the top of gallery pages now scrolls the page to find the current picture when you use it to go back to a picture index. Other ideas/suggestions welcome, as ever. (Although tomorrow is a day of work so more features are on hold until the weekend!) | ||

How about having an ability to distinguish rowing from non-rowing pictures, so you can look at all the amusing drunken photos of yourself without having to bother looking at the horrible spacking in between? I notice, by that way, that there's a distinct theme of criticising my bladework in the Lents '00 section. | ||

jmg doesn't feather said: I notice, by that way, that there's a distinct theme of criticising my bladework in the Lents '00 section. Yes, sorry. Can't recall my motives, now... Perhaps its something to do with you having mucked up the pictures - I note that it's only the nancyoutofthewateranddoesn'tmatter bits :-) | ||

On the subject of pictures... a couple of additions, post Saturday's accident :-( | ||

Rec.sport.rowing currently has a "your favourite picture" thread... surely some off here are worthy. | ||

Am adding the JET Photos from Fairbairns 2002 and Lents 2003 at the moment. Should be done by the end of the day (I hope). | ||
