After sort of dealing with the proprietary flash gallery on the site for a few years now, I've decided to re-vamp it and write my own from scratch. It's actually been up for a couple of weeks now, but I keep forgetting to write a post about it. It is done using only javascript and XML, forgoing Flash all together. I did all the coding from scratch, by hand, except for a few re-used libraries that weren't worth re-doing (i.e. Date formatting, mobile browser detection). You can check it out at the
illustration link at the top of the page.
After putting all that work into the gallery, I'm thinking the site may have to be re-designed again. It's functional, but it's not exciting to me any longer. We'll see.
