There was a news article this morning on the BBC about how levels of three generational families living in one house have now grown to levels last seen in the 1860's.
Then it was due to the Industrial Revolution, today it is poverty.

I used to enjoy lurking on your blog (I think I commented once or twice).
Just went to have a look, and there're no posts... Sniff.
No boats been blocking your drive lately?

This podcast[^] clearly illustrates why Radiolab is quickly becoming one of my favorite shows.

I am working on a webpage that is heavy with graphics and has a lot of vertical scrolling animations. During the vertical animation, it would pause for a fraction of a second whenever a new graphic came into view (making the animation appear less smooth). I surmised this was happening because the browser was loading the image into graphics memory (or from some cache into normal memory) and then unloading it after it came out of view.
The solution, which seems to be working, is to combine all the images into a single sprite image and only display the portion appropriate for each section of the page (that way, there is only one image and it is always visible, so it always stays in graphics memory). Such a workaround should not be necessary (not to mention it increases overall file size and makes image management more complicated).

Are you sure that's the case and it's not a delay in actually loading the image from the server to the browser? Are you pre-caching the images client-side when the page loads?

I did scroll through the entire page first to ensure all the images were loaded. Then I repeated the scroll animation.

Yes, hundreds of times since I bought it.

That's funny because it works on my machine.

any flock of browsers in particular?

IE and Chrome. Firefox actually seems to handle it well.

Why choose a webpage for such purposes? In the old days we would have written a nice little client application. Browsers are for browsing.

Things like this work much better as marketing tools than client applications (note: that's not exactly what the website I'm working on does, but it has similar ideas).

I guess, you need a graphic designer to help you with those images. The larger the images are the more processing time it takes to load properly.  Rendering images I realize is important, I would compare images with font because each font has different load times. That's why most people use .gif formats.
