About this website.

JCDSee is my personal web based photo viewing / cataloging system written in the Perl scripting language. The script is about 42KB and best of all has no spyware, cookies or ads! I would like to release it officially as Open Source Software, but at this point, it is too "nerd-O-rific" for general consumption. You can view the latest version of JCDSee, but it will probably be of little use unless you are a Perl hacker. The site uses utf-8, html5, css3, xslt, xml, and DOM to tie it all together.

JCDSee?

I had to name it something... its an adaptation of "ACDSee" (image viewer for windows) which itself took the name from the Australian rock band AC/DC. Legend has it that Angus and Malcolm apparently saw the acronym on their sister’s sewing machine (where it indicated "Alternating Current/Direct Current").

JCDSee has been built very slowly over the last several years, most of the development taking place in random internet cafes around the world.
