Dear Mr. Braman,
Since Friday I've given further thought to my excited therefore hasty
response. More careful inventory of my experience recalled graphics
and video functions and routines written while attending the university
and as late as the early 1990's. In particular an assembly language
screen dump (to printer) before it was standard and a C program to plot
chaos functions in the 90's. The former is the reverse of what you want
to do with the thumbnails.
Then I remembered that trancendental (math not spirit) functions are
employed to reduce RGB information to a single floating point number
in gif and jpg (jpeg developed for computer photographic imaging) files.
The compaction techniques are discussed in depth in the back chapters
of a book about computer graphics and imaging which I purchased
several years ago. The book was distributed with a diskette of C video
functions. I still have it at Lone Saguaro.
I can analyze your problem while cleaning up (and familiarizing
myself with) your html. In a short time I should have enough information
to write a routine in an appropriate language that will either load your
photos or modify the file format for faster loading. But the key word is
analyse. I won't know what I can do for you until I see what you have.
I'm willing to do the research and make reccomendations (and html
doctoring) for a nominal charge. Engineering consultation usually
starts at $75 / hr. I'll give you up to 40 hours for a flat $500. If, beyond
that, I write any code, the contract will need to be renegotiated.
You may e-mail me at:

or contact me at the above address.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Gregory Kaiser

EDUCATION: University of Arizona BSEE 1987
SKILLS:
MS DOS/WINDOWS programming in C/C++ (OWL); programming in
Assembly and Pascal. Communications interface design and
programming in C and asm employing 80x96 and 8051 family
processors. DEC(VAX, VMS, DCL), VAX C and asm.
EXPERIENCE:
Self employed/unemployed 9/93 - present
Survived by driving taxi and casual labor while since 2/96 writing
an extensive windowing application in C/C++. This project processes
apparently random subsets of a data set and aids the user in a search
for correlations between the occurance of events and the probability
those events will occur. It allows data file creation, expansion, and
access. Users may run calculation and distribution functions from an
intuitive, visual menubar/submenu system. Results output to textfile
and CRT. From 6/97 to 12/97 I've written a template user interface
under Windows which includes MDI, tool (or speed) and status bars.
I'm presently well underway on a Windows/Network Utility Toolbox project.
Concurrently, in June and July I began learning HTML and JavaScript as
I developed two websites. I am now building a third using methods I
taught myself last summer.

RAM C4I, Sierra Vista, AZ Sr. Electronics Engineer 8/92-9/93
Comarco C4I, Sierra Vista, AZ. Electronics Engineer 11/87-8/92
1990-1993 were consumed with the design, prototype, testing
and fielding of custom micro-controller based communications
interfaces. In addition ot disigning, writing startup and test code in C
and assembly and testing these complex circuits, I supervised the
purchase of components, manufacture and assembly of printed
circuit boards and the fielding of test systems. Examples of circuits I
created include: A DSVT data adapter based on an 80451 micro
controller, which employed RS232 and RS422 for communication
with the test computer (Micro VAXs) and to talk through the DSVT data
port (a CMOS device) and over the MSE net to another voice/data set
and Micro VAX . A TAP unit which used an 80196 and an AMD Mach
210 to multiplex input from 5 serial and parallel sources onto a 100Mbit
fiber optic link driven by an AMD Taxi chip.
1988-1990 I evaluated computer systems and software for the
implementation of an Electronic Proving Ground test bed. I wrote the
hardware specification (B1) and purchase requests for the Local Area
VAX Cluster the project used. For the duration of the project I managed
the VAX network and wrote a device driver and code to synchronize
sytem clocks to a standard time signal I imported and distributed
through low level manipulation of VAX serial ports.
1987-1988 duties included writing and realizing acceptance test
procedures for test instrumentation and management of a field test site
at Ft. Hood, TX.
U of AZ: Arizona Research Labs 1/86-8/86 (part time). Provided general technical assistance, including design and installation of power and control circuits and assembly of a
two gun sputtering system.
U of AZ: Eng. Exp. Station, ECE 1/84-12/85 (part time). As a Student Assistant my duties
included performing experiments and tests in such areas as filtration, adsorption, conductivity and particle dispersion.
