Dave’s Journey

I have started a new blog called “The Macfoto Life” where the focus will be on Macs, web design, photography and related topics.

Cheamweb has gone under a redesign. As a result of the changes previous links for the Cheamweb Gallery no longer work. To view the photography go to the Cheamweb homepage and follow the links. One new feature for the gallery is that the photos will now display as a slideshow. I still plan to do some more work on it so let me know your comments.

I’ve added a new section to the Cheamweb Gallery with photos of wetlands areas near Chilliwack. Cheam Lake and the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve both provide places for looking at nature here in the Fraser Valley.

Lately I’ve done some improvements to the theme on my website. I made some colour changes and I removed the individual headers for categories to make things easier to maintain and to provide a consistent look throughout. I also redesigned the home page. If you have any thoughts write a comment below. Another change is the naming of the blog as Dave’s Journey to reflect some of the travels I’ve done and that life is a journey. The website is currently at the same address, however, it can also be accessed by going to davesjourney.com.

I registered a new domain name davesjourney.com that I plan on using for my blog. At some point I would also like to add some features to the website, such as a gallery and incorporating the material from the Dave’s CyberHome website. The web address can be used to connect now to Dave’s Notes. Stay tuned for further updates.

Earlier this year I had some fun and wrote up a poem about my first Macintosh that I owned, a computer that I called “Hal’s Darkroom.” I used it for working with my photographs. When I first bought it PhotoCDs was the way that I brought my pictures onto the computer and with the Mac’s excellent support for that and Photoshop were what convinced me to get a Mac. It was also the computer that I started with for designing web pages. I used it for many good years. I sold the computer a while back, but I came across it again and unfortunately it didn’t seem to work properly and so I decided to write something about it. I have posted In Memory of Hal’s Darkroom at Dave’s CyberHome

I have added EventCalendar 3.0 to Dave’s Notes to display upcoming events. One can subscribe to the events using iCal or a similar program.

Hello and welcome to the new version of Dave’s Notes. Now taking advantage of WordPress. For those that haven’t seen it lately it now has some new features for managing themes and pages that you want to keep seperate from the regular blog. I have the contents of my previous Dave’s Notes blog and the Cheamweb Journal (located in the Fraser Valley category). Note that due to a change in plans I will likely be posting material related to the Fraser Valley in the existing Cheamweb Journal blog.

Happy New Year! With the new year has brought some changes to Cheamweb. I now have a redesigned photo gallery for viewing photos of the Fraser Valley. Currently I have displayed in the new gallery the Mt. Cheam exhibit. Let me know if you have comments about the changes. The gallery can be viewed at:

I’ve written up an article at Silcon Life reflecting back on 10 years of of working with the web.
