Port Geographe is a beach a little east of Busselton. A few years ago I used to swim and fish along that beach. Even 2003. The first pics were Feb 2004. There's a canal delopment (you can see it) that has destroyed the natural flow of water. Now there's all that weed build-up and it doesn't clear, so there's the dredge and tracked vehicles deployed to clean it up. Weed build up is normal along beaches here, in winter, and some of the fish depend on the maggots that breed in it. However, it's normally cleared ell before summer. Those were the first pics I took with my camera; I created the "album" by plugging the camera into my Powerbook which automatically started iPhoto, and _that_ can publish the album by a few mouse-clicks. Ubuntu pops up gtk-thumb which happens not to work with my camera (no Linux software does, properly); Fedora/Nahant (I forget which) makes a mount point for a USB disk. Both Ubuntu and FC use Gnome 2.8 so if some FC developers take a look at U they can see how it's done:-) I first used that sig line on a Debian list, and in less than four hours from creation I had my first hit. The whois command revealed that Microsoft owns the client IP address. I agree that some commentary would be beneficial:-) -- Cheers John Summerfield tourist pics: http://environmental.disaster.cds.merseine.nu/
