...And it's a five o'clock world when the whistle blows. No one owns a piece of my time. 'Cause

I've got the new cross-reference page engine half done: it's generating index pages, and it takes into account "lost" photos so you won't see all those skulls on the index pages anymore. To see an example, click on Heather Alexander at right, where you'll find that my oldest photo of her (2001) is still lost; or take a look at the pages for Sally Abba or Sallie Abba. (Yes, I realize they're the same person: which is the correct spelling? When I get a chance I'll combine them. If nobody has better information, I'll use "Sally" because that's what's on the older pages.)

When you're looking at an index page, you're probably trying to find all the pictures of that person. Therefore I've tried to maximize how many pictures you get, up to a reasonable limit per page. I used to make it do one of three things: (1) show you every single photo, (2) show you one photo per page, or (3) show you one photo from one page per year. But this meant that the people I shot the most would have the fewest number of photos visible! So now for option (3) it shows you one photo each from an assortment of pages throughout the history of the website.

So far I've just regenerated the A's; I'll get to the rest of the alphabet in the next 24 hours. Then all I have to do is re-write the cross-referencer to use the new MySQL database too.
