So it comes to that time again and the desperate rush to get things done. There never seems to be enough time in the day to work out how to do the things I want to do. I’ve been trying to get my map page up and running so that has been diverting my attentions from designing, or attempting to design a new site utilising EE. It is going to take a lot of work.

I have the basic map up, that took some work and moderate amounts of pulling hair in frustration. but now at least it is up, with some help from Mav I might add. Now I just have to find a political map that I like to put up, preferably one that does not cost $300 odd dollars! I spent hours and hours doing google searches trying to find a good political map that I could use and still have not had any success. I like the National Geographic world maps and they are not badly priced but they do not seem to sell digital ones that you can put on websites. Maybe they do, maybe I am just looking at the wrong page on their site….. hours and hours of searching left I fear.

I should do some work on the new gallery page at some point. It is up with all the images to date but it is some what disembodied at the moment! That is why I am still using the old gallery for now. That is one of the things I intend to work on in my next block of days off.

Once again my budget for the next trip seems to be going well…. it is a pity that it is not certain yet whether I can get the leave this year or not…. work issues…..not bad issues mind you just more of a timing problem.

It is wait and see time as far as that goes, still I should know for sure one way or another either today or by May at the latest.
