I've had a want to integrate my Google Picasa web album into my web site for a long time now. This afternoon I sat down and figured out how to access the Gdata API to allow me to get at my web albums. The system fully authenticates and uses simple GET/POST challenge and response to do the bulk of the work. I then break down the responses and use the data I need to make the magic happen. The gallery on the right will change once ever 15 seconds to a new image. You can click on the image to view the full web resolution image.

Another update to the site now to include images in the postings. The site also conforms to the W3C's XHTML and CSS validation standards.

Tonight I installed Windows 7 for the first time after seeing it in the Community Technical Preview release a few months ago. I'm quite impressed by what Microsoft has released. Brings back a lot of the same feelings when the upgrade from Windows 2000 to Windows XP happened. Plenty of good things included with the software, installed without a hitch, drivers worked out of the box and the machine was overall snappy in regards to performance.
Looks like Microsoft has a winner again after the failure of Windows Vista.

Welcome to the re-re-relaunched Bschaefer.net /Biggs-place.com. November 2009 marks 10 years of ownership for me with Biggs-Place.com.
This site is the culmination of a few different CMS's that I've written in the past and lots of new code that I wrote in the past month. I hope to add a section now and then in addition to updating the front page of the site a little more regularly.
Browse around the site (what little there is now) and tell me what you think.
