I recently decided to use Google Picasa to manage my photos, despite the fact that the linux version is in fact non-native and runs through wine. This is partly due to the lack of better alternatives... both F-Spot and DigiKam have their plus points, and are in some respects better than Picasa, but overall I felt that Picasa is closer to what I'm looking for. Anyway, having got used to it for a while I went ahead and found some extra web-export templates online, and then further customized one of them for my own purposes... resulting in: a "Photos" section on the website! I opted to avoid too many special effects - the simple javascript zooming stuff that you see now is as far as I wanted to go. I'm quite pleased with it.

I also discovered that I was suffering from an obscure bug in OpenBSD, which would quite probably have affected outside access to this website for the past few months. Sorry! Apparently the bug is fixed in 4.5. Here is the entry for it from their changelog: "Fix in pf(4) when using sticky-address and a matching pass rule uses reply-to." For now I've put a workaround in place instead, until such time as I can get my hands on 4.5.
