The flowers had just popped out in
Shinjuku Gyo-en when we got there, last weekend.
I was still early for Hanami, but Eiko and I wanted to enjoy the first days of
nice weather after a series of rainy days.
In spite of this earliness, some of the famous Japanese cherry blossoms (sakura in Japanese) had already popped up, but I'm guessing it will be even more impressive in a few days from now.
I'm only uploading the pictures now because I've been workng on a new gallery application which will enable me to manage the pictures in a much easier and flexible way than I used to do.
I won't have to generate static pages, which tended to take a bit too much space and were obviously difficult to update, incase I wanted to change the look of the gallery or to change the order of the pictures, etc.
This piece of software is very nice, as you will see if you browse the
pictures, but on the other hand, it is a bit slower than static pages and it
is using tables for the layout, instead of a nice css (booo).
Finally, it does not validate the W3C
validator.
On the other hand, the version I'm using (gallery2) is still a beta version
and I'm sure a lot of people are working on fixing those small issues.
If I have some time (and a lot of courage), I may contribute and change some
of the points above by myself.
