Europe photos, photo metadata stuff

I think most of you know about this already, but in case you
don't, here are the best photos I took in Europe:

I hope to work on some software to make it easier to handle
captions and other metadata before making a larger collection
available.

I just hacked together a first shot at this stuff, storing the
metadata for each photo in an external XML file.

So for this image:

    http://impressive.net/people/gerald/2000/06/11/16-00-13-med.jpg
    http://impressive.net/people/gerald/2000/06/11/16-00-13.jpg

there's an XML file with metadata (very simple for now):

    http://impressive.net/people/gerald/2000/06/11/16-00-13.gpm

(gpm means gerald's photo metadata)

and if requested in a generic way:

    http://impressive.net/people/gerald/2000/06/11/16-00-13

there's a handler that generates an HTML page with human-readable
metadata. This handler is currently a perl script, but should
probably be an apache module or something instead. Script source:

    http://impressive.net/people/gerald/2000/06/gpm/handler

Right now the script pokes around the filesystem for files with
the same basename ending in "-med.jpg" or ".jpg", but I should
probably put the variant info in the metadata file with the other
stuff.

Todo: lots more...
