Nancy Street - What's New

*	Date	Notes
	17-Feb-2012	Many of the Gallery pages and all of the Pets pages are now generated by an automated utility which generates clickable thumbnail images that pop-up enlargements. Since I ran out of time and interest to manually update so many pages, the generated thumbnails are are quick-and-easy substitute content.
	01-Jan-2012	The Music page has been renamed Collections because the old title was too narrow in meaning. The Nancy Street music database called Opus was migrated from SQL Server Express 2008 to a SQLite database called Jade. The new database is more general purpose and can record details pf "collections" or any type of collectible item; for example: vinyl records, audio discs, video discs, books, model planes, stamps, coins, etc are typical candidate items. I am writing a new Windows desktop application over the SQLite Jade database, and because SQLite has no complicated software dependencies it means I can redistribute the application easily to anyone who might like to use it. Most of the music, video and book lists on the Collections Home Page have been generated from the Jade database.
	29-Sep-2011	A new experimental Silverlight 4 application called Photo Browser was added to the web site. If you let the Microsoft plug-in install in your browser (it's quite safe) you can browse through the Nancy Street photo collection. Can cannot see "private" photos unless you email Greg and ask him to give you a login name and password.
