quite a lot of my olds died there, including people who had fled to Kaiapoi (NOT Kaiapoi-hia, please – not that anyone has used that here) from other areas of invasion…and some…

Have you ever walked in that place and noticed how the sound of the outside world seems muffled?

I love the irony of Trust vs Padlock

That's fine Hebe. It worked, which is the main thing we are hoping for.

...oops, need the rite angles...

... go side on...

Anyone tried a photo and a video? Now they have.

Yum!

In hindsight, my reply lacked lustre.

Opening week competition winners announced, with a bonus prize draw.

Crowd Sauced Goodness.

We didn't make it in the end. Something about the heat, parking, crowds, general slackness, made me chicken out.

That grader looks like it's pushing sand uphill. Seems an appropriate analogy for the day.

I just want my younger sister Mary Emma's quietly terse comments (I didnt realise until after she died, she collected dictionaries too).

I really want to hear the voices of my olds (I only have them in my head.)

*I am not sure that…

I think the vast majority of us worked that out Jackie. What I wanted to know is, what's Richard Driver's hair doing on the guy in front's head. Or is that Richard himself?

Think you might be right. As we are all limited to the size of our screens, most people would be covered by a maximum image size of 1600 pixels or less, and a resolution of 96dpi.

Something to think about.

that's what it was for some of the wordier brickface uploads

Thinking that trying a smaller file size would be useful.

We are working on this, although it appears to happen when you don't wait until the photo loads before refreshing the page. But hey, it's our first blog specific meme, so there's that.

Cat barrier? The internet knows no cat barrier ;-)

And here's one from the Catholic Basilica in Christchurch when my digital photo summer school course was let loose inside the RC cathedral for a couple of hours. They'll be needing the coins now.

I think I’m suffering from some sort of early onset blogger-over-exuberance-syndrome. No doubt it will pass.

ETA: As a page of crowd sourced images, this one is pretty special. Joe, Hebe, Ian et al, great stuff.

Yeah, if you don't put up a picture you have to write 1,000 words. ;-)

Why would you? We'll be running a competition... at some stage. Not sure what the theme will be, or the prize, or anything really. But whatever it is, this photo will be in it.

Right. Work.

poor kaye...

it’s less witty spelt out
so a picture is worth x-amount of words?...

Sorry to tinker, I couldn't resist
Joni-ing the dots...

Lunch, then my day job. I'm getting a bit…

“you” plural. :-)
Or: the blog of youse.

This is 'our blog' you mean? I'm just more verbose.

ETA: Jackson, I'd love to see more of your Uni photos. I'm not sure why you hesitate, this is your blog! :-)

I often hear Chch people complaining about somebody called Sarah. ;-)

que cera

thanks, but I'm insufficiently vexed :)

I suspect it was truncated/corrupted while uploading...

I assume this isn't all of the photo then? I don't know about sage, but this looks like a partially uploaded file. If you happened to refresh page during the loading, that could happen.

Also, email me if you…

for drinking horn nostagia purposes?

I don't believe that's how we've been using it though. There are also accessibility considerations but I won't even go there.

And ta to Cactusfolk for fixing the file extension problem.

Xlent. ;-)

Interesting point. I think the idea is that the text posted with a photo is as a 'Caption'. But you're right, we're using to having…

A big "Well done!" to all involved.

Fixed now though. :-)

Yes, it's kind of off topic compared to the other photos around, but it's all I had to hand, and I'm testing uploading of images with uppercase file extensions. :-)

And then they turn into this. Not trite at all.

By the way, the developers are working on the JPG/jpg issue, and we'll try to post some reliable guidelines later today.

Along with another post maybe. Anyone want to see…

We use Windows7 here and in Explorer, using the 'Details' format, the file is noted as being a 'JPEG image' and it failed to load so I assume it has a ".JPG' extension.

Any reason for that? Seems round the other way to how this site has always contextualised embedded clips for example – explanation first, media second.

Yes, we're working on it.

Overall though, I'm loving the New Dialogue of imagery, text and nostalgia. It's everything I hoped for... Oh crap, a Joe Cocker earworm.

In the meant time, hope you keep trying.

Photo above rocks at Muriwai Beach, Sep 2008.

Hey presto ! The sky is a big green circle ! Wow !

Lookin' good at full size.

Wow, quite an image Jackie.

Isn't it!

More here, including some photos.

Select the image the image you want in iPhoto, then choose Export from the File menu.

Export as a a jpeg, quality high, size large. That's way smaller than full-size, but plenty nice for here.

Wow, quite an image Jackie. What year was that? And where?

Applause.

ETA: Apologies for the multiple posts. It's a geeky thing. Hate not being able to work things out.

Right. I have a feeling that will come around very quickly. We'll give it some thought, and start working on it.

Maybe you could email me the images, and I'll see if I can find anything obvious. Email link above.

Can't have your creative endeavours thwarted.

Hm. Seems not to have attached. That was a .jpg ...

I've had .png files fail before, so yeah, jpegs.…

(Cough) My latest DSLR camera has that. But watching the flight simulator distracts me from framing the shot, and then I cut off peoples heads. Uniformly but.

ETA: Snap

Hmm. I assume it is a jpeg? Silly question, but not sure this will support other formats. Also, does the post take a while to load? If so, you need to wait before doing anything else. I'm sorry it isn't behaving.

Anyone else got anything?

And good for you Robzy.

Here's a bit of levity, then (not levitation) from City Mall

Happy happy joy joy, even ow!

What only two people…

Oh, definitely. In real life even?

We were probably going to come to you after a few posts, or even next year, but thrilled you have found us first. There's a certain gallery I have in mind, but lets not…

How do we know? The first ones aren't that old yet. ;)

Hmmmm ...

I think this is arguable. Digital files backed up and kept in a current format (and migrated if the standard changes) should…
