Introduction
A site used by me to experiment (and play!) with web technologies on a LAMP system (Linux + Apache + MySQL + Perl/PHP), via a firewall (netfilter-iptables). I use it also to indulge a passion for skiing and inform friends of events... holidays, walks and drinks.
Scripted in xhtml 1.0 and frames based, this site requires JavaScript and CSS2, and has been tested with Internet Explorer 9.0 and Firefox 9.0. QuickTime and MediaPlayer equivalent plugins are needed for virtual reality panoramas and videos.
is provided on each page to restore its navigation frames or display its parent window in full.

What's new
The Xming X Window Server for Microsoft Windows®.

Additions to the QuickTime VR Panoramas on the Skiing page (these are large downloads, requiring good bandwidth!). Select the thumbnail picture to view an example...
I have contrast balanced various scanned slide photos to make them look better on my web pages.
Site-wide style changes and toolbar additions to picture indexes.
Thumbnail selection pictures randomised.
Predator traps added (to nobble rogue search engine's mail harvesting).
Select the thumbnail pictures to enter the new Chamonix Ski Trip Photo Gallery or the normal Ski Photo Gallery... Search engine re-coded.
Walks Photo Gallery created. Select the thumbnail picture to enter the gallery and show the picture full size... Statistics section revamped to be more comprehensive.

Additions not in navigable sections...
