Finally the plugin I use to display images on this site, Shutter Reloaded, added support to read the image title to use as a caption, which is what I have always used. Previously it used the link title. So from now on you will actually be able to see my captions when clicking an image :)
Today I upgraded to WordPress 2.7, the software this blog runs on. It did not go entirely smoothly as I experienced a few frustrating issues when data would not save. Now the blog resides on another server with a different PHP version and everything should be working as intended.
Due to the old database being a bit wonky there are now a number of special characters that are represented by funky codes instead. I am very super busy right now, but I will try to fix a few of the front page ones, but I will have to look through the rest of the posts later, like tomorrow.
Update: I should have gone through all the posts now. If you do find something that looks weird, do not hesitate to leave a note!
To get things ready for print services I have spent the last few weeks revising my impossible figure templates, scripts, and actions. This to convert them and all future art from CMYK to RGB and the aspect ratio to 4:3. While at it I adjusted the signature, background, website url, line colors and weights, added copyright text (tiny!) and made some actual updates to a few pieces. The process took more time than I had planned since I kept coming up with more changes I wanted to make, forcing me to go back and change files over and over again!
Another difference from before is that I will post images in the PNG format, a lossless format which generates reasonably small file sizes, this because PNG rocks, and compression artifacts don’t. I have finally managed to update all old posts to reflect this change.
I mentioned that I had updated some of the figures themselves, I will list which ones that has had the biggest updates:
I ended up really happy with Tribar 5 and 7!
Oh, and as of today it is exactly two years since I finished the first impossible figure in this collection!
