Mea Culpa

After a mere year-and-a-bit I have finally updated my photo blog so that it serves images the size of the viewport instead of sending you a huge photo that your browser then downscales (if you click on an image it will show you the full-size original still). This should make all the pages (and the entries in your feed reader) a few hundred times smaller. Sorry to your and your mobile data plans that this took me so long. It literally took longer for rsync to copy all the thumbnails than it did to implement and test the change locally. Why did I keep putting this off?

On the I'm smart actually side of things, while I was on my trip, I updated my photo blog deploy script so that it rsyncs things to my server in two waves: first it copies over all the images, then it updates all the pages and the feeds so that you can't go to a page with missing images, even if I'm on a slow internet connection. Not a bad idea imo

If the site being slow and huge was what was stopping you from checking out my photos, there's never been a better time to sign up for the Atom feed. Also, please let me know if anything looks weird after this update. Everything appears to be fine to me, but maybe on your device/browser there's a problem.

Also, this means if you're downloading any images from my site make sure to click through first or to "save link as" instead of "save image as" from the blog page
