Why

John & Penny did a cruise in Alaska with Glacier Bay Cruises in May 2003. Many of the other passengers had digital cameras. John offered some space on kirriwa.net for anyone who wanted it, and a month or so later, this site was born.

 
What

You'll find a group photo of (most of) the passengers - one or two were hiding - here. The photos are here, and some links to information about Alaska are here.

 
How

This site is powered by Apache, Redhat Linux and some scripts written by John Clarke.

Viewable with any browser
"Anyone who slaps a 'this page is best viewed with Browser X' label on a Web page appears to be yearning for the bad old days, before the Web, when you had very little chance of reading a document written on another computer, another word processor, or another network."
Tim Berners-Lee, Technology Review, July 1996
This site is viewable in any browser, although there's not much point in viewing the photo pages with a text browser. No browser-specific extensions are used anywhere on this site. If you see something which you think is browser-dependent, or something which doesn't display properly in your browser, let me know and I'll fix it.
