PROJECT 4 for DG40

This application is an elaboration on my P2 app (p2.edgeofforever.net); it is a micro blog for sharing panoramic photos. I had a few friends try out the P2 application and incorporated both that feedback, and the feedback I received from my DG40 grader. I created php and js validation for user-submitted data, and sanitized incoming data to protect against injection attacks. I also modified the flow of the UI, to make it more understandable to new users of the site. I also added "stalking" functionality, so users can see each others info.

The second part of my upgrade was a js application for viewing the panoramic photos. I wanted to create an intuitive UI for zooming, panning, and orbiting perspective. Well, I managed 2/3 ;)

Note that as of this message, the resolution of the photos in Firefox seems really poor, and distorts while panning. I'm attempting to troubleshoot that issue. It looks great in Chrome.
