It also means the anual massive spike in bandwidth for the site is over. just shy of 600,000 hits this year, not too shabby :)
Speaking of which, building a new gallery engine - it's halfway done (the uploading and part of the viewing) - but we'll give it a whirl now:

I want to add the ability to name pictures, have my friends upload new ones and leave comments. not too hard, just takes time.
"whirl" reminds me - I got to try and explain what a whirling dervish was yesterday. I said it was just kind of a chaotic thing that destroys or devours everything in it's path. They asked, "yeah, but why is it called a 'whirling dirvish'". I said it was whirling because everything was just kind of flung about in all directions and it was a dirvish because... um... that's what the name of the Magic card is?? So what the heck is a 'dirvish'? can you have a non-whirling kind? Beware! Here comes the shuffling dervish.
Ohh, better saunter away quickly from the shuffling dervish... ;)
Origins of actual dervishes from which your Magic card is derived. The first shows a dervish, the second explains the term and origin. http://www.dankphotos.com/whirling/index.shtml http://www.bdancer.com/med-guide/culture/dervish.html
