Ravage reads PAS too.

Did someone say Lego? (self-portrait with the Lego Photo app)

Oops - don't know what happened there and can't seem to delete it. Russell, please can you delete these half pictures?

It's probably the caption. Paving paradise. ;-)

That's amazing! And a little disturbing. :-)

Have reclaimed the car parks.
This usually happens with either large images or slow upload speeds, when the page is refreshed before the image fully uploads.
Sorry for the frustration.

Thanks. Slow, slow broadband connection here in the middle of the Wellington suburbs.

Love the waterlily, clicking the image to full size gives a great virtual bee experience.
As a workaround for sticky broadband speeds it could help to reduce the image & file size a bit. The waterlily is 1.4mb and over 3000 pixels wide, which is gorgeously generous, but it still looks great at 2000 pixels. I gave it a quick try, which dropped the file size to just over 300kb.
Hope to see the bird of paradise, what made it through looked great.

Thanks Joe. Yes, don't like to see people giving up. There are more hints in the Upload Guide in the links section on the top right of page, if that helps.

New desktop pic, a nice change from the previous passionvine. Thank you Jackson. Also you can see a bit of the skateboard you said nice things about earlier undergoing reincarnation.

Cheers Joe, and you are most welcome. After I posted it I thought 'really, although I took it that way, it would look better rotated to the left'. Voilà.
Look forward to seeing the reincarnated skateboard.
ETA. That was another iPhone 4s photo, incidentally. ;-)

Dumb question but how do you reduce the image size? Turning it into a pdf sort of does but then it is not the right type of file.

Not at all dumb if you haven't done it before. But not necessarily a simple one either, due to... stuff.
I'll send you an email so we can communicate offline. Once I know what you're working with, shouldn't be too difficult.

how do you reduce the image size
in the absence of a photo editing program perhaps one could email the photo to yourself, and reduce the size of the photo when sending, there is usually a full size, medium, small option - worth a crack...

Not sure if this applies to you, but here's what I do on a Mac:
- Select your photo in iPhoto
- Choose Export from the File menu.
- Set:Kind: JPEG
JPEG Quality: High
Size: LargeThen export, renaming if you wish.
That gets me a file size of 250KB to 5550KB, which is about the right range for uploading here.

We are working on it, by the way. Just both of us are back at 'work'.
Well, when I say 'work', I mean being reminded that almost anyone you want to deal with on stuff is on holiday until the 16th, at least. Which makes me think I should be too.

That looks especially mint at full size.

Thanks. That was after shrinking it as well. I am honestly a bit amazed at what this little Camera can do. And, as we were reminded above, it has the advantage of always being with you.

Hmmm, is that food blog competition closed?

linger, in reply to
Hilary, have you tried “Save As… JPEG”? This should give you a “quality” option which you can set to something less than 100% (70%-80% is generally adequate for eyeball viewing, and usually results in at least a 50% file-size reduction).

Gamma, Gamma, Hey!...
Loved that Lytro© photo system mentioned earlier, mutable depth of field, neat! - but here's the one we all want - a light driven time cloakWe see events happening as light from them reaches our eyes. Usually it's a continuous flow of light. In the new research, however, scientists were able to interrupt that flow for just an instant.
Other newly-created invisibility cloaks fashioned by scientists move the light beams away in the traditional three dimensions. The Cornell team alters not where the light flows but how fast it moves, changing in the dimension of time, not space.
They tinkered with the speed of beams of light in a way that would make it appear to surveillance cameras or laser security beams that an event, such as an art heist, isn't happening.
...
Using fibre optics, the hole in time is created as light moves along inside a fibre much thinner than a human hair.
The scientists shoot the beam of light out, and then with other beams, they create a time lens that splits the light into two different speed beams that create the effect of invisibility by being too fast or too slow. The whole work is a mess of fibres on a long table and almost looks like a pile of spaghetti, Fridman said.
...
The science is legitimate, but it's still only a fraction of a second, added City College of New York physicist Michio Kaku, who specialises in the physics of science fiction.
"That's not enough time to wander around Hogwarts," Kaku wrote in an email. "The next step therefore will be to increase this time interval, perhaps to a millionth of a second. So we see that there's a long way to go before we have true invisibility as seen in science fiction."
Gaeta said he thinks he can get make the cloak last a millionth of a second or maybe even a thousandth of a second. But McCall said the mathematics dictate that it would take too big a machine - about 29,934km long - to make the cloak last a full second.They think they have to build a bigger one, when probably all they need to do is link it to a strobe around 7 cycles a second, or whatever our 'reality frame grab refresh' is create the illusion of continuity...
Grant Morrison has some interesting ideas on reality related matters as well...

Super letter box. Attached is hydrangea, a flower I don't usually like but which this summer grabs my eye like a Karl Maugham painting!
-
Yes, a wonderful summer for hydrangeas. We have wonderful white blooms, and a cerise and deep blue bush growing side by side--which ought not happen as acidic soils produce one colour and alkaline soils produce the other.

Monarchs about to pupate on the adjoining plant after gobbling all the swan plant leaves.
(Here is a pdf while I work out how to shrink the jpg - and excuse the Latin error as the file should be called pupae)
