Seeing stars

After a busy day a couple of weeks ago, I looked outside before closing up the house for the night... the sky was dark and overcast, but I decided to do a preliminary sketch for a mosaic featuring stars. The sketch also got me thinking about how to fill a blank area on my website. Seeing stars is not that unusual for me, as I have been fascinated by the stars and "why do stars twinkle?" since my early childhood. I've also always been curious about how things work, which led to me developing a keen interest in electronics and to a lesser degree mechanics... so I guess it's no wonder I became a telecommunications technician many years later!

For the last couple of weeks I've been concentrating on finishing my long overdue website update. After deciding to stop writing work-arounds for frequent bugs in one of the well known browsers (I'll work on these once my website is back on-line), the task is so much easier as no sooner had I fixed all the bugs, along came an update with a slew of more bugs.

So now, the last step is to complete the slide show to display my artwork... which is after all the main reason for my website.

After trying one recommended gallery option, I discovered it required a new HTML (web) page for each photograph. I then began working on a JavaScript which looked more promising until I got stuck and it was doing my head in, which was enough to make the decision to pay a professioanl to do it... I'm now anxiously waiting for him to complete it as I'm itching to get the website back on line and then get back into creating more art!
