Journal FortKnox's Journal: Hello Foto.... [UPDATED] 339
Yesh... I actually have something to show you.
Rules: Don't give anything away, people... not even in AC... Yet. Once I draw out the list, feel free to give hints (or drop false hints to confuse). This will probably happen the monday after Easter. That's when I'll stop accepting photos and we'll get underway...
But do feel free to comment, like "doesn't #44's second pic look just like Jim Caviezel aka Jesus?!?").
Anywho, first page is thumbnails (yeah, they are huge, but that's the best I can do with the time I had). Clicking on said link will take you to a page filled with all their pics. These aren't the "Full Size" you guys gave me. I shrunk them into something more viewable, but they are still big enough to get all the details.
I'm interested in hearing if you guys experience any latency on the site. It seems to be even faster than the old server. I'm quite impressed! :-D
Oh, and for more community fun, go over to johndiii's journal and talk about where your alias came from.
I'm still accepting pics. Now that you see them, you can tell we are all geeks, not models... so those of you that are shy and stuff can come forward. No point in waiting. josh _at_ marotti.com with "slashdot" or "photo contest" in the subject and your slashdot nick in the body.
Update: What kinda dumbass forgets the link?.... err... I mean the link? D'oh. Good thing I wanted to check the server load when I got home. Thanks to AC and others for pointing it out. Didn't mean to me mean... sorry!

Tables are obsolete. they use more bandwith, cause formatting headaches, and just plain suck.
Fortunately, for everyone, I'm not in the contest, perhaps because Fort has no picture of me, even though I have many old pictures up on public sites.

Correct solution (Score:2)
I would have used an unordered list with list items displayed as blocks floated to the left. A grid-like effect could be achieved by giving them a fixed width. After a bit of tweaking, it would look at least as nice while wrapping to match screen resolution.

I'm also guessing 29 is our favorite hero recently returned from Iraq, and that 27 is our favorite expat living in the Reich.
