gordonjcp ╡ irl: jesus christ, scale your fucking images
My last post about the adventure to the Donmouth Local Nature Reserve turned out to have a total page size of 69.2MB. Oops.
I’m new to using Ghost as a blogging platform, and in the past blogging platforms have scaled images for me. It turns out that Ghost does not do this. There is currently an open issue on GitHub discussing this but I don’t think this feature will be appearing at any point soon.
On Thursday, an email appeared on the hackerspace mailing list proposing an adventure to a distant land where we would operate portable amateur radio stations. Today I went on an adventure to Burghead, a place by the sea approximately 64 miles on a bearing of 305° from my home in Aberdeen. The group embarking on this adventure included Hibby MM3ZRZ, Tom MM6IRQ, Ed MM6MVP and Derecho PA1XOR. We travelled by car and beaconed our journey with APRS-IS on the way.
GNU MediaGoblin is a web application for hosting and sharing media. At 57North Hacklab, we currently have a Flickr group but to post to Flickr it is necessary to have a Yahoo! account and this seems like an unreasonable requirement to impose on members that want to share photos. This led to me setting up MediaGoblin. Hopefully it will also be useful for sharing other forms of media beyond photos too.
