I added a photo gallery page to the website. I had several issues getting Lightbox to play nice with the caching engine on the website, but I was able to get everything squared away. Most of the pictures you have probably already viewed if you have been following my blog. I will be adding more pictures in the future so stay tuned.

Today I was able to build the MySQL database, tables, and users to store and retrieve the crime data.  I wrote the PHP database connectivity scripts and the main page with a full liquid CSS layout (grows with browser resize).  Currently the map will retrieve markers from the database and plot them on the Google map with my customized data.  I also completed a simplistic theme for the web page, which may end up the final theme until I begin working on SVcrime 2.0.  Some things to come in the near future: custom map markers depending on type of crime, the remainder of the web pages, and ad-hoc crime query modifications.  Here is the alpha screenshot!  ENJOY!

Life as you know it couldn’t get any worse…  Somebody backed into the back bumper on my car parked out front.  I haven’t taken pictures of the damage.  Its time to either sell the car or get full coverage because this is ridiculous.  At this rate, the car will be scrap metal by the end of the year   Wish me luck on this one…
