Wed Sept. 11
- Researching Video Archives for possible candidates to encode into Flash Video for Upper Image Carousel (880 x 420 pixels) . Experimenting with various softwares and different bitrates . Purpose is to design a "Procedural Pipeline" that I will use to convert larger HD Video (1920 x 1080 pixel) into the 880 X 420 size . Obviously , this is going to take some experimenting to get a solution that will offer quick download times for viewers , as well as high quality playback .

 - VERY LONG BREAK  -  Have been very busy dabbling with 3D Stereo images and animations on the latest 28 inch ,120HZ monitor from Asus , which allows for flicker-free 3D Stereo with the included LCD glasses . Amazing visualizations are possible , with both , 3D computer generated images/animations , and also captured still photos & video . Took some time to get the hang of combining image sets into 3D stereo but well worth the effort .
   
Friday Feb. 07
 - NEW DESIGN  - Streamlined & simplified the general layout of all the galleries . This layout should work in all screen resolutions . Tested fine in 1920x1080P on 16x9 , 1280x1024 on 16x9 & on laptops & regular CRT monitors . Same with 1024x768 and also 800x600 .
