Images I first heard about the calendar from Eizo on the Society of Radiographers’ RSS feed and then up it popped again in Street Anatomy complete with more pictures. I love them! They really show the beauty of the human body and the complexity of the skeleton in particular.
I (like the SoR) was a little concerned about the radiation dose to the model but I read that the images are all Photoshopped from existing digital images – no models were exposed to radiation at all.

Technical I’ve been playing around with Google Maps and Google Latitude today. Maps are of course the map, satellite imagery and notorious street view. Latitude is the GPS tracking facility. I’m now tracking Nick’s mobile phone so I’ll know where he is each day when he is on holiday. If he stays stationary in Bangkok for too long I’ll start to worry that the red shirts have him. Anyway, while reading around the Google Maps site I discovered the feature that enables you to create your own route map, so I did. The map below shows my walk from Ipswich Station to the university. The only problem is that the Google satellite must have passed before the uni was built so it looks like I work in a heap of rubble!

VERT I’m off on my travels again. It is the NRAG conference and I am going to be there delivering key messages… Or giving out leaflets. I couldn’t get into the Premier Inn so I’m in a Novotel. It is like a P. Inn but more expensive and with less food. I had two courses and I’m still hungry. There is a different type of image on the wall. Instead of being bland and relaxing it is vibrant and a bit stressful. I guess they don’t want guests to sleep but want them awake and paying for the premium tv channels and extortionate broadband - 18.99 for 24 hours!

VERT I’m in Nottingham tonight before my last VERT visit to the department tomorrow. As you can see I’ve got the depressing lollipop trees on the wall. One of these days I’ll find out their significance. In the meantime I’ll just be glad not to see them again. I wish I’d managed to get a picture of the testes and uterus picture that sometimes hangs in the Premier Inn restaurants but it night look a bit wierd taking photos of it.

Mobile technology This is a picture of one of the guns at Dunbar barracks. I took it way back in April 2008 but am posting it as an experiment with lifeblog.

I’ve been having problems posting images in WP. They when I insert them the dialogue box says “crunching” and then not much else happens. Today however I did manage to upload an image. By pure coincidence it was only 69.7 kB in size. I did think deep down that this was the problem. I have previously searched everywhere but no one is saying what the maximum file size for upload in a post is. I’ve done a bit of experimentation and here are my results.
72 pxi, Photoshop Save for Web high (60%) 70.8 kB jpg
300pxi Photoshop save for web High (60%) 201 KB jpg width 1000 px
300 pxi Photoshop save for web High (60%) 327 kB jpg width 1500 px
300pxi Photoshop save for web High (60%) 485 kB jpg width 2000 pi
All these have uploaded without any problems. The last one I tried was 896 KB so I wonder if the max is 500 KB. One last go to check…
300 pxi Photoshop save for web High (60%) 578 KB jpg
Nope, I guess it is not 500 KB. This is probably getting a little large anyway and 500 KB is probably a good size to aim for. Now, wonder if I can set up some sort of image macro to do this automoatically?
