I recently worked on a project here at the port archiving our gate camera images in SQL Server.  The cool thing about having these images archived is that we can do all sorts of cool things with the raw bytes, such as stream them as  slideshow, pull up a specific image from a given date, or combine multiple frames to...

So far, things look good and I've already noticed that many things that weren't working quite right before, are working now.   Thanks again to everyone who worked on this fine piece of software we're using.

I think I may...
