About techtravels.org

techtravels.org came about in January 2004 as a place for me to display travel photos taken from our various trips. As of January 2006, I have some photos up, but there are many more that I still have to bring online. This involves choosing and editing amongst the digital photos, and the scanning of the other photographs. I plan to eventually put up itineraries, maps, and the like. The amiga floppy project blog has been the main focus of the site, but I'm working on expanding the gallery.

 

tech details

This website runs on apache running on a linux-like box. The website design was created by Rik Bruil, and his website is here. There are many fine web site designs, and where I found this one, at Open Source Web Design. The photo management system I use for my travel photos is called Gallery, which runs in PHP, and details can be found at gallery.sourceforge.net.

My blog software is currently Wordpress 2.0. Very easy to setup and use!

I maintain the site using Macromedia's excellent Dreamweaver MX 2004 and Adobe's Photoshop CS2.

I've switched from a Canon S-230 camera to the new Fuji E-900, which is a 9+ megapixel point and shoot. It's tiny, but still has powerful features like shooting raw, exposure bracketing, continuous shooting modes, etc. It's an impressive little camera.

 

the tech in techtravels

As a matter of profession, I do a bunch of related things that fall under the general umbrella of "network stuff". As a matter of hobby, I do a variety of tech things ranging from C/C++ programming in Visual Studio .net on the Windows platform, CodeWarrior on the Palm, to GPS applications, ham radio stuff, wireless 802.11 stuff, reverse engineering, and phone systems(especially signalling). You'll see these interests pop up in an eclectic mix of documents I plan on putting up. Most of these have been projects in the past, but never given one home, or shared with the world. I know based on hours of fruitless google searching on some of these topics, that someone can put some use to my work. I very much enjoy working in the obscure world of data, if it involves a hex editor, a disassembler, a sniffer, or some proprietary piece of hardware, I'm interested.
