Portland pictures

At long last, I've gotten around to hacking up a bare-bones picture browser servlet on my home website. It's basically just pages with next/prev links, but I think that's still better than a plain index of links directly to image files. I plan to add various other niceties (thumbnails, index pages, labels, captions, viewer comments... other suggestions welcome), but who knows when I'll get around to it.

I'm using an iframe to hold the picture because that seems to work the best on Firefox: it automatically resizes the picture to your browser window, and then you can click on the picture to toggle it to full size (with scrollbars). Opera and Internet Explorer don't do this—you just get the scrollbars—but at least all three browsers let you pan around by dragging with the middle button. I have no idea how it looks on other browsers. If you have a better suggestion, either something portable (preferably) or platform-specific, let me know. At some point I will probably pre-scale the pictures to save bandwidth, but I'm not sure how important this is.

Anyway, have a look at pictures from my Portland trip, starting at 6643. Here are some of my favorites:
