Geo, some constructive advice :D

You should try and rez photos down in Photoshop.
I'm on at least a T1 and it was ka-chunk ka-chunk ka-chunk as the page struggled to fill in. Your 396k photos could go down to 44k with no real noticable degradation.
Or maybe the site was really busy...

Fascinating that you have a Canon PowerShot S70.
And taking photos with an exposure time of 0.125 and a focal length of 5.8125.
hehe.

Hmm... I have a slower connection than you, and my pics load just about instantaneously. Check your connection. :)

How do you get the info about the shots? That is interesting!

They also get resized down automatically too. I have no idea how to resize them in the first place to help with loading though :P

I am guessing thats maybe because they are already cached for you? Mind you, they loaded on our clunker line at work for me pretty damn quick as well.

If I knew you were going to enable Woo's drinking problem, Geo, I might have had second thought about sending him to you. :)

devilboy- you need some half eaten sandwiches or something lying around too. That would truly complete the vibe of your desk.

Don't worry about Woo... He is just keeping an eye on the bottle so I don't drink it too fast. ;)

Here are some more random snapshots from the room at home where I often "work" ...

I like it a lot! Both the godz and the hedorah have cool flashing led effects. But they look cool just by themselves, and they are also GID.

I haven't figured out a good place to put the Hedorah yet, though, because it is so big.

I have that set in red and I have the green glow Goji, I just couldn't get into the glow Hedorah with the gold spray. I paired mine up with a green Ebirah from CCP, they make a nice pair.
