The pope has been in town this weekend, and like most locals, we took the opportunitiy to escape to the hills.

I haven't had much time to write in my blog, and perhaps that won't be something that changes - but I hope it is :).

Today was the first day in a new job, for the past few months I've been working in a small graphic arts company which has been an interesting experience and from which I have learnt some useful things and (hopefully) left my mark.

I'm taking a step away from web development, and moving into software quality testing (in various forms) of websites - although I still assume that I will find the time to write a few tools and experiments.

After a number of people reported that they couldn't see the pictures in the gallery (something IE specific that I can't reproduce) I thought I would update the gallery.

The update is pseudo complete, restructuring the files a little, adding a method "ServeImage" to the Gallery controller (which is a simple pass through for the image file) and I've begun fiddling with script.aculo.us transition effects (only partially successful at the moment). When I get another minute I'll play with it a bit more.

We are back from Marocco, and I thought that was a reasonable excuse to add a gallery to my site. I tried the one from the cake wiki, but found it a bit difficult to understand, so here's a real simple picture gallery.

I also thought I should get around to adding the download function while I was at it. This function will download the files which are currently in use, and therefore should mean that if you don't see problems in the demos section, the files will work out of the box.

Time for food :)

Tomorrow, we're off for a week in Morocco.
