Gallery woes, project work

Grump. Last night it was pointed out to me that my picture gallery is suboptimal, as the thumbnails are tiny and the actual pictures are huge. So what I want is a page of thumbnails which links to medium sized pictures (with prev/next links) which link to the full size beasts.

I found one tool which would generate such a gallery, but the images it generates are broken. Hence the original pages are regenerated with the dodgy tool which works, and I'll try again later.

In other news, I had a nice day yesterday. Somehow I spent all day being mildy productive and not wasting time, and yet I don't have terribly much to show for it. Oh well, at least I have something and ideas on where to go from there.

It's much nicer now that I'm thinking of stuff I write as contributing towards my project report. I think if I finalise the structure I can get on with writing the expositionary sections, such as an initial chapter setting my work in the context of the MRG projcet, outlining the shape of Camelot compilation, and discussing the possibilities for and usefullness of potential optimisations. Actually that sounds like three chapters, which is fine.

I think I will have to watch the length, it has to be 40-60 pages, and that is really not much. I'll need to edit the introductory parts to be comprehensive without waffling too much, but I'm better off waffling initially, because otherwise I'll never get started.

Exams are going to start looming. I'll have to work out details, and plan my revision. And so another year comes around.
