As Mark's WebMaster, let me just add: ©2007 Mark Shaffer Mitchell All rights reserved worldwide. Used on the HabitableZone with retroactive permission...but don't make a habit of it. Can't get too mad when the "infringement" starts with "Nice photos!".

BTW, did you notice the strange URL?
.../photogallery/image/507...3.jpg/browse

This is no ordinary Web site, it's "RESTful", aka "The semantic Web", the newest of new buzzwords, in which URLs mean a whole lot more than just a file on a disk on the server. In fact, there is no such place on the server as "/photogallery/image". My software parses the URL and extracts meaning, notably the modifier "/browse". Try it with "/icon", "/view", and for a really confusing time, "/full". The latter is the image data record rather than the image itself.

(Now Tom is really gonna chew me out for not having this thread on Geek. Oh well, I'll move it there when we're all done.)
