Photo History of Hong Kong

Google Earth shows us what we got.  The above video shows us how we got here.  (courtesy of jmah.net)

Although not exactly arranged in chronological order, the photos capture very valuable scenes of the historical Hong Kong.  Some of the old buildings and streets are still around and we are debating whether we should preserve the remaining few or demolish at full force in the name of progress.

So,

  • Articles are classified into main categories `/log (editorial, i.e. editors' playground)', `/lib (organized writings)', `/etc (about this site)', and whatever new categories that I might come up in future. The main categories are what you see at the page header.
  • Some articles are marked to be summary posted at the front-page. If so, that's what you see at Home. Usually, I'll take the lazy default to have each article front-page posted.
  • Drupal’s got a very fancy categorization scheme. It’s so fancy that it’s actually called Taxonomy. So, other than the few main categories, there are also infinite sub categories that I can apply. So, I’ve given it a try. Check for Category Browser at the left-hand menu. (To be more exact, Drupal has no differentiation for main and sub. It’s just my implementation.)
  • If you want to identify where each article comes from (which category), note for a category identifier somewhere above/below the teaser. It depends on the theme that you choose. For the site default theme, it's at the bottom of each teaser.
