Add TR Videos
I have added some videos of TTC new subway train TR 5411-5416 before it enter service and in service on July 30, 2011.
I happen to be on of the hundreds riders on the officially maiden voyage run to Finch Station of the train from Downsview Station on July 19, 2011
For those who have visited my site in the past, you will see I have Redesigned it to meet the growing needs for the site.
This site is currently broken down into 11 sub domains and there could be more as time goes on, to make it easier to locate subjects as well keeping it simple. Some of those sub domains are also under some of these sub domains.
You will have to check the update link to see what changes have taken place since your last visit, as I will not be posting them here due the size and the amount of material.
I have done a fair amount of overhauling of my original site to get some of the broken links pointing in the correct direction, but a lot more work still has to be done.
I have not checked the hyper links on the pages to see if they still work. I expect some will be 404, others have become another site or some thing different than it was at the I put the link on the page. I have not checked the site links since 2004 and its one of the many do things still to be done for the site.
Since I have decided what to do with my 50,000 plus photos and videos for the site, I can go back in time and start adding them to the various pages now. This will take some time to do.
I have consolidated the various folders and scripts into a central location to cut down on the duplications and server space, as well streamline things.
Since I write raw code for strict XHTML and add the extra coding for the pages (Don't use WYSIWYG programs like Dreamweaver) to comply with Accessibility Standards, especially Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, which is required by Federal Law, it will take me a little more time to build and fix the old pages to comply with current standards.
When this site was small and did not change very much over time, making changes to various pages or menu was a small task. Today, its a major task to the point I have moved to the server side on some of the material to cut down my time to make the various changes that take place today on a larger scale.
I still have not found the time to build my own data base to allow people to search the site for what they are looking for and will be using a 3rd party one to do this for the time being.
With the various changes taking place, you may encounter broken links or missing pages. I have not got around to putting up under construction or off line pages as I make changes to the various sites and pages. In many places, I have decided to break a page or section down that will change the link instruction and have not got back to making that change for the whole site.
Since I have decided how I am dealing with the photos now, I have been able to stay current with them for this year, as I shoot them. The current method allows a cut and paste of the coding so it can be dropped into the various pages that are old or new and put on lines within days of shooting them.
Welcome to My Website!
This site has grown so large that it has compelled me to break it down into different domains.
I wrote my first site in 1995 as an information portal for myself.
Over time, this site became a portal for everyone based on the material I have located.
In 1999 I started to use the site as a teaching tool for other people new to the internet as how to write clear clean code and to pass on things not to do for best practice performances. This included things I learned from trial and error, as well from others. At the same time, I started to write strict XHTML and CSS code that included accessibility issues. The site had to be rebuilt due to hard-drive failures including a number of toast CD and backup material. A fair amount of material for the original site has been lost and you will run into some broken links to them at this time until I get around to fixing them that are in the old site.
This past year I have experimented on tableaus pages as well more css3 and XHTML. The big issue for me has been trying to figure how to structure the 50,000+ photos and videos that will be used for this site. The photo issue is still on going.
Since I spend most my time on the Transit and Urban issues as an advocate these days, the old site will be rebuilt as time goes on to Strict XHTML and CSS codes like my new ones. The site meets WCAG 1.0 Priority 1 Guidelines and Section 508 Standards accessibility requirement.
