The old Basepath site was a mish-mash (but not a mashup) of assorted logos and links. Looked terrible, but at least you could get to my main sites: Advanced UNIX Programming, Home Theater Explained, Mudbag, Albumatic, and my blog, which has had two starts and stops over the last couple of years.
Now, it's all together, and, to me, anyway, it looks better and is way more useful. The blog is front and center, which means that it gets another start. So, now it's three starts and only two stops. I don't have an RSS feed set up yet, but hope to soon.
On the left you'll see links to some software I've written over the years. ImageIngester is very new, released in March, 2006. CsvTool I did in the last 6-months or so, and Mudbag goes back a couple of years, and still isn't quite finished. Albumatic is very old at this point. I think the first version came out in the mid-1990s. Still works, though.
If you take digital pictures, try out ImageIngester and let me know how it works, OK?
The old Basepath site was just an HTML file, and the sub-sites (a few of which are quite big) were built with FrontPage back when I used to use Windows. Mudbag is an application, as well as a site, so it's all PHP.
This page is mostly HTML in the left and right columns, but the center, where you are now, is the product of a simple PHP function that picks up my blog files, one per blog entry, sorts them by date, displays the first three on this page, and then has a link at the bottom to the next page of older ones. (You won't see that for a few days, when I'll have some more entries.) I was writing my blog on blogger.com, which was fine, but I wanted something even simpler, and I wanted an easy way to include it on the main page.
