I had a small typo in my new random photo SQL code so on every page load it was selecting all 9,000+ photos in random order instead of just one. Fixed now, so page loads should be a lot faster. (Everything is cached except for the random photo.)

Thanks to Tantek I just enjoyed a live jazz gig over two thousand miles away at the Canvas. I’m living vicariously through an iSight.

Zeldman asks Derek 15 questions in 1998. Kids these days need 21 questions.
