The beer bottle collection started many years ago. As time went by, the collection multiplied to over a hundred empty bottles which were parked on a shelf in the garage. When we moved last time the collection almost got ditched. Since something like this can always be given away, procrastination settled in. Now there are somewhere around 24 bottles and cans.

It took a couple months one cold winter to photograph the bottles and write a program to make the web page with a picture of each bottle and can. Well, here it is! The project isn't quite complete because I'm shooting for 1000 bottles.

The perl program used to write the web page started out quite simple but became slightly more complicated with addition of the various sorting functions. The Beer database is a text file with delimiters.

Please get ahold of me if you have suggestions, questions or ideas related to this project
