But yes, you're right, since the border angles to the south out in the islands, and the city of Victoria on Vancouver Island is some forty-odd miles to the southwest.

Thanks for the link to your photos. They brought back a lot of memories. The one of Rhossili Bay reminded me of my visit to the Gower in 1987 to look up some distant cousines.

Hwyl,
Eric

I just joined the St. David's Welsh Society of the Capital District and agreed to serve on its Board. I am not its president, at least not yet. I also don't have any fluency in Welsh. I am president of the Arnold Lake Owners Association and Treasurer for my church but I don't think that's what you were alluding to since I had not mentioned either of those responsibilities.

Wish I'd thought of it!
Diolch.

Thanks for your lovely message. I will definitely take full advantage of your brilliant website ... It's good to see someone's finally taken the steps to set up a site like this!

I hope you're well ... Hwyl fawr,

Oddi wrth,

At 6:30pm on February 10, 2009, Stephen Williams said…: Oh I didn't do it all the pieces for the map! I used an API called ModestMaps. It can use map tiles from several of the top map providers. I did all of the other stuff like buttons, tooltips, the list, and hooked it all up. I load up a separate XML file to populate the list, which is pretty handy for updating list information. That was enough of a job!

Next I should try using Flash for the usual banner animation stuff. I've been known to do things backwards!

At 5:15pm on February 6, 2009, Stephen Williams said…: Hi Gaabi,

The site is great! The only thing I would say is to make it less "busy". There are sooo many great resources here that it is sometimes hard to know where to look and click!

I have several Welsh genealogy resources that have not been widely documented. However, it will take me some time to get things together. I have too many pots in the fire and kettles on the stove!

I am not a member of any local in-person Welsh society, but I am a new member of the Welsh-American Genealogical Society (WAGS) run out of Vermont.

I've never taken classes in any of these web programming languages; I've learned them on my own, which I acknowledge can be difficult and frustrating at times. I really should go for classes. My programming background is in Assembly and then later in C. But, I can't stop moving and have embraced the higher level web languages! My first Flash/AS3 project (finished not long ago) was not the usual animation type thing, it was a google-type map deal: http://iagenweb.org/iowa/cem/map.htm. It was really quite a lot of work for a first project, but I need a challenge to keep interested.

I am also one of the two IT/tech support people for iagenweb.org, so I have done quite a lot of BASHing myself. When you can SSH into a server, there is so much that can be done! I also designed that state site, but I am not happy with it's organization; needs work.

Thanks for your wonderful welcome!
