Until you turn off Javascript for security reasons. Or you surf with Konqueror (the KDE file manager).... Or if you surf with images turned off because, on your Toshiba 225CDS notebook, Netscape farkles the video driver with regularity IF AND ONLY IF images are loaded.... :-) The globe is stunning -- but the text below also has a place, IMHO. -- Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio Pisgah Forest, North Carolina 1 Peter 4:11

Yepp, you're right. Do a reload and look at my pin (on the final page I'll be shaved a little better, it's just a quick grab from my camera taken 20 minutes ago). I really like that very much, now this is MY entry and not just some information about me. Thank you very much, Matthew! It's an 80x80 JPG and only 1931 bytes. A good size to be recognizable and not overloading the popup. So would anyone please send me some picture (or just a note that he doesn't want one). If it's not actually 80x80 ready to stick in, please send something at least 3x the size so I can crop and downscale it without much quality loss.

I think people with no pictures should have a default picture... Maybe 'Barney' or something evil like that to encourage them to send in a pic. :) Good job though. Any chance you'll clean the code up and release the package in a form that others can use? I think its a very nice layout and that other open source projects might like to make use of it. If its backended into PostgreSQL it might make it easier for users to manage their own entries. Picture submissions could be handled that way with no intervention. Anyhow, I'm rambling. -- | Matthew N.

I think that we have by far the coolest developers page of any open-source'ish project out there. What I miss is something like a line what people do in their Real Life. From what I gather most people around here are probably one of programmer, system admin, or in academia. But it would put a refreshing realistic context to the whole thing. *** puts on asbestos suit *** Also I think putting the photos below the globe (at least in addition) might be better because for people digging around in Europe or the North American east coast it obscures too much and it's also hard to get an overview. -Peter On Mon, 18 Oct 1999, Jan Wieck wrote: > Yepp, you're right.

Exactly that is something NOT to put on this page.

I could turn the text in the pages body into a table and add the images there too. But I absolutely like them in the popup and will let them in.
