17-Mar: Closing down Gullery and replacing with Railtrackr
Loyal to the good practice of eating your own dogfood I have removed from this site my old Gullery image viewer and replaced it with my own Railtrackr . Now the link images.battlehorse.net points to my Flickr photosets.
16-Mar: RailTrackr.com is now live! Developers welcome!
RailTrackr, a web 2.0 Flickr photo browser, is now live and available to everybody on Railtrackr.com ! In addition to that, a new development website has been started to support Railtrackr. Railtrackr is currently opensource and will remain so. Developers are very welcome and I invite you to join the project at Railtrackr Devsite (hosted on assembla.com). The project page on this website won’t receive further updates and will point to the new development website.

23-Jan: Photos from the Las Vegas and other places.
Go and visit my images gallery . I’ve added some photos from the weekend (19-21 Jan, 2008) I’ve spent in Las Vegas, Grand Canyon and Death Valley with my colleagues. We’ve probably spent most of the time driving (we decided both to the Grand Canyon and from Vegas back to San Francisco), but it was definitely worth!
15-Jan: Gullery and Photographs
At last I’ve been able to install Gullery on my hosting. That means that from now on you’ll be able to access a lot of photographs here on images.battlehorse.net. I’ve just added some photos from my current stay in California. Integration between Borg and Gullery is under planning.
