I've been doing some more work on the backyard project. We're making great progress. I built a retaining wall on the inside of the circle to allow a planter bed next to the sand stone patio. This was also necessary due to the slope of the yard. The wall is built, but not capped yet. I also dug (by hand) trenches for the irrigation. Yesterday morning I installed the irrigation sprinklers and hooked everything up. As usually, I got to the last connection and was short one 3/4" tee. Off to Home Depot and back, then hooked up the final connection and turned on the water.

YEA! Sprinklers. I covered up most of the pipe, but I still need to do another rack through to remove rocks. We should be able to order grass this week.

Web Album. Yet another program doing something very similar to FamousFamily.com archives.
Thumbnail.java - Load an image, scale it to thumbnail size and save it as JPEG Some source code to create a thumbnail using plain java. I might use this to replace the Fireworks scripting I use now if the quality is still there. We'll see.
