Shots from the 2007 Hurricane/Typhoon Bay are (finally) up on the site.
I may have mentioned that the only thing I like better than speed shooting is speed shooting when it really isn’t necessary.
I think it stinks that some competitors get fewer, and worse, shots because of an accident of geography that puts them in the far corner of the stage when their class (or portion thereof) is called out. *Usually* the head judge will swap them around– but not always, and there’s no way to tell until it’s too late.
Part of this is my own fault– since the Dexter Jackson show, I’ve let myself be swayed by what other people think about how shots should look, instead of shooting what I know I’m good at. At the All-South I realized that, and not only got *way* better shots than the last few, but enjoyed the process a lot more as well.
That’s for a future rambling post, though– this one’s hopefully made the point, and I’ve still got to get the Lakeland and Southeastern shots up before I can get to the All-South, then start in on the backlog.
Apropos nothing, I finally got fed up with the games my ISP has been playing, continually losing my counter files on the “virtual host”, so I created a database-driven version that seems to be working a lot better. I fed in the last-known-good value, just over 600K visits, and we’ll let it run from there- though I suspect I’m well over a million hits by now.
