Welcome Back
Welcome to the fourth redesign of my personal website. I've been working on my own personal website since about 1998. Since then it has had four designs. They roughly follow the evolution of the web.

Taking a wrong turn
Today I went for an afternoon out in Metz, accidentally drove straight passed it (talking too much) and ended up in the charming Pont-a-Mousson by chance. It looked like your average french small town with a central square, containing a stage, surrounded by old houses with smoke filled cafe terraces at street level. Just to emphasise the frenchness, a boy carrying baguettes in a paper bag was crossing the road... The only oddity was the number of bikers riding through town on Harleys. Turns out there was a festival of US motorvehicles in town, whilst just down the road, the town was also organising a rubber duck race in a local stream flowing into the Moselle. To top off this improvised visit we drove to have a look at the Mousson castle ruins up a hill across the river. All very lovely on a hot August day. Sometimes it's worth taking a wrong turn I guess! (just don't visit the public toilets :-) )

A brief history of Smugmug's acquisition of Flickr
After acquiring Flickr, SmugMug have announced a limit of 1000 photos for the free accounts and a doubling of the PRO membership fees. Unfortunately not in that order. So shortly after cancelling my PRO membership as I was unwilling to shell out double for no useful improvements, I am told I will lose 12000+ of my 13000+ images stored on Flickr. It seems to me SmugMug are blackmailing me to come back... Just as well I've already downloaded and moved all my photos to OneDrive about a year ago. Now all I need to do is recreate the albums and I can say, very sadly, goodbye to Flickr. Looks like I will also be able to finally start closing my yahoo account.

Photos of Bulgaria
This is an old post (from around 2003) from an old site of mine, which I am resurrecting here. So apologies for the rather lo-res images. But 15 years ago, that was state of the art for web publishing!

Flickr, SmugMug and Yahoo
Yahoo
So, SmuMug bought Flickr from Verizon a few months back (news always reaches me a little later...). Will that be the end of my Yahoo account? I only have a Yahoo account for two reasons (in that order):
- Flickr
- Yahoo Mail
