Edinburgh

Hello again.

Last weekend – or thereabouts – I visited Edinburgh with some friends.  It was a great trip, even if we didn’t manage to see all the things we wanted to (notably Rosslyn Chapel and a proper Whiskey tasting tour were left out). We did see the Edinburgh castle though, and the Arthur’s seat (linked to none other than the King Arthur), and a large number of other attractions of various sorts.

I have photos from the trip of course, but I’m currently experiencing some back-end issues with my photo gallery system, which will take an indeterminate amount of time to fix (basically, it’s an issue of making the time to deal with it). The photos will go up when the system’s working again.

On another note, I finally put together I panorama I took in Prague. I passed along the photos to a friend who has Adobe Photoshop CS3 and after about two hours of ughs and ‘did it crash?’s, the computer finally spit out a result, and it was a beast: 38 12.2 megapixel photographs stitched together in a 2.5 GB photoshop file, resulting in a 23.8k * 7.6k pixel JPEG, weighing in at over 100 MB. And what’s it of, you might ask? A 360 degree view from the Orloj clock tower in Prague. It’s pretty damn cool. Zooming in and out doesn’t get old for a very, very long time. I shall figure out a way to put up some version of it, somehow, sometime. Till then..

Hasta la Vista, baby.
