Picwala 2.0 is complete and working.
I have a couple of little bugs to swat, and need to test on Safari and IE.
And I'll make a handy-dandy installation program to help set up an empty database and test everything.

I am in Chiang Mai now. It's still hot, but there is the odd breez and lots of shade trees. After Bangkok, this is an island of peace and calm. Walking through the old town, I come across a Wat or temple about every two blocks.
I went out at dawn ...

I went for a long walk today from Sukhumvit to Lumpini park, then took the subway up to a canal, and a boat back to near my hotel. It was unspeakably hot and muggy, but I got a few good pictures.
