PowGuitars

I have a bit of a problem. For a long while, I had an old Linux machine that ran ostrin.org, our local web site. On it lived all sorts of things including powguitars.com which was where I kept my pictures of the guitars I built. The machine (called ocd) was never all that stable. Since we relocated to the UK, and bso has been in charge of the computers on HaNevel street, things have not improved. In fact the ip address has changed (along with changing of our ISP) and ocd ate it's disk. I managed to salvage the pictures off a backup I have, but I am not sure what to do about them. What seems to be the most difficult info to reproduce is the captions to these pictures. They are all in some sort of crazy database somewhere.

I looked into re-homing the pictures somewhere on the net. I am going to try Flicker to begin with. So if you feel like looking at some of the old PowGuitar stuff go here
