I’m looking at my photos on Flickr, and they’re not showing up colored properly. The problem seems to occur only in Camino 1.5, where the images appear washed out and bluer.
However, in Safari on my Mac Book, the images look as I intend them, the same way they look in Photoshop and iPhoto. This makes me sad, because it means that no matter how I correct them, someone’s going to see them wrong.
Meanwhile, Susie and I had sundaes for dessert and a nice roast chicken for dinner, and watched three episodes of Buffy tonight (I now know that Angel is a vampire, and there’s this guy named Spike who just showed up and killed The Annoying One) and so it’s been a good day.
I invited about 15 people to come for Greek food with Susie and I earlier this week. I figured that we’d get about half of those to come, and that we’d have a lovely Greek meal. But my usual inability to successfully plan events reared its ugly head. The Greek restaurant was, when we arrived, closed for no reason. Like, no sign saying on vacation, hours saying they should be open, but just no lights on door locked. So we had deent but not exceptional thai food instead.
And of the people I invited, only three said yes. Sure, they were my FAVORITE three, but still, the guy who lives 10 blocks away who couldn’t come, that perturbed me. And the two people who’ve always said they wanted to come to this restaurant we raved about but declined because of something I’ve seen them miss before, that bothered me too.
Enough so that I don’t really want to organize something again in the near future.
In other news, I’m starting to get caught up on my backlog of Flickr photos. I hope you enjoy them.
“I find myself thinking of a checklist Wozniak wrote a few years ago describing how to become a genius. His advice was straightforward yet strangely terrible: You must clarify your goals, gain knowledge through spaced repetition, preserve health, work steadily, minimize stress, refuse interruption, and never resist sleep when tired. This should lead to radically improved intelligence and creativity. The only cost: turning your back on every convention of social life.”
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream.”
As for your colour issues, if they only occur in Camino 1.5 (I had to look that up to remind myself what it was), you can console yourself with the knowledge that, like, it's only .1% of users (if that).
Vancouver people don't like going out. My theory is that real estate is so expensive here that people feel obligated to spend all their time outside of work in their houses, just to make themselves feel better over having spent $700,000.
While I have never fully understood color spaces, I believe it goes something like this. An image can have information about how to display it's color embedded within it. the standard color space assigned to most images is called sRGB. Some browsers will look at this information, some will not. those that don't typically use sRGB.
If you want to make sure your photo's color shows up consistently, make sure when you are editting it you are using the sRGB color space.
You can scroll right easily by holding down the SHIFT key and using your scroll wheel. (Firefox users trying this will end up jumping to old Web pages until a) Firefox releases a fix, b) they change their settings like so.)
