Das eez kaput! Sometime around 2002 I spaced the entire database table that mapped individual entries to categories. Such is life. What follows is a random sampling of entries that were associated with the category. Over time, the entries will be updated and then it will be even more confusing. Wander around, though, it's still a fun way to find stuff.
fruiterie. These are not the Amélie Poulin moments you are looking for. The results, so far, have been mixed.
Rather, I have in mind the brief notation of the day's highlight, the amusing encounter or useful insight that will someday evoke a memory of yourself when young. Such a journal entry perhaps an e-mail to your encoded personal file can now be supplemented by scanned-in articles, poems or pictures to create a "commonplace book." You will then have a private memory-jogger and resource for reminiscence at family gatherings.
More semantics without painIs that possible?

) and generate all the necessary static HTML files, complete with next|prev links that know which size of the image you're looking at and links to the other scaled versions of the image. The design is purposefully simple since eventually the idea is to have the internals use
XML::SAX::Machines
so that you can filter the output of individual files to your hearts content. First though, I'd like to add support for
XML::Filter::Sort
on the front-end. Anyway, all the meta-data for an image is read from
IPTC
and
EXIF
tags. The former can be edited in Photoshop and the latter are written automagically by many cameras. Sadly, the Gimp supports neither and only allows for comments not exceeding 512 characters in length.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved, and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

David Tilley sent along these suggestions:
I would also recommend both Joseph Heller's Catch-22 and William Shirer's The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich but not today.
I will try to find suitable links for the books throughout the day. It's easy enough to find them at one of the big online booksellers, but I'd recommend stopping by your local library instead.
If you've got a good link for one of the books mentioned or have suggestions of your own, please let me know .
