Find by Keyword

So here we are... things are constantly in flux. Lately I have been adding massive numbers of images into the database. Most of these do not show up in the galleries. I have put them in for the benefit of the people using the keyword search. Galleries are an overview of what I have. People looking through them tend to be more casual. A photo buyer might be looking for a specific view of a specific item. For this reason I have been adding redundant images into the database. "Oh, you want that image with space on the left? How's this?

Because of this redundancy, the "Recent Additions" might not be as interesting as it would be otherwise. Some days I am processing and entering up to 100 images. There might be 3 or 5 versions of the same subject. The "Recent" page only shows the last 25 of the entire batch....

Also, I have begun adding articles in the writing section. Not too many, I still have to massage the code and make it handle better and look prettier. all suggestions welcome.

Other fun stuff - I am at stage two of the weather satellite project I am hosting at PlanetChicken.com. The daily script that downloads the data sets merges them into 3-color images and animates them is functioning nicely. My biggest issue is file size and streaming... the weekly animations are about 24 MB and the monthly can be up to 100 MB. That is a lot to upload through an ADSL pipe every day. After file size, which I probably will not be able to do anything about without compromising image quality there is the issue of playback. The files are raw mpg files which are not streamed. when I have viewed them on a windows box the playback is pretty rough... Ah, well... I'll figure it out.
