Homepage updated

Jan — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 21:06:29 +0000

I just updated this homepage to the beautiful WordPress theme Twenty Eleven and re-structured everything completely. Now there’s a “welcome page” separate from the actual blog, and I also summed up all the projects I’ve been working on on one single page. Hope you like it.

WordPress photo quality

Jan — Sat, 25 Jun 2011 00:51:08 +0000

I just noticed that WordPress kind of messes up my photos. It apparently drops the color space information (which would be AdobeRGB in my case), but OK, I shouldn’t upload them in AdobeRGB anyway, I guess. I mean I don’t even expect WordPress to convert my pictures to sRGB automatically (which would be most suitable for most viewers), but it could at least leave the color space information in place when producing thumbnails.

The other issue is that WordPress seems to use such strong compression or such a bad downsizing algorithm that images are getting pretty blurry. So I’ll export my photos in already-downsized sRGB next time to try if that helps. No more convenient direct upload of Aperture preview images…

Blog continued

This is my first blog entry from Stockholm and the first one since a long time ago. I still have no plans to maintain a personal blog about my experience here. However, I do write a diary so that I don’t forget the many things that happen. So if you want to know what happens in Stockholm, just ask me!

I definitely want to blog more in the future—probably not so much about personal stuff, but rather techie things. So expect more soon!

Imported tripedia blogspot blog

Jan — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 01:51:04 +0000

Just imported the previous tripedia.org blog tripediac.blogspot.com, so don’t wonder why there are some posts before my “Hello world” post! I thought it might be good to have all stuff here in one place. (WordPress is getting higher and higher in my opinion, especially compared to blogspot—but don’t take that too serious, as I’m just a newbie in both worlds!)

Contact form

Added a contact form using the WordPress Contact Form 7 plugin.

New pages

Jan — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 16:30:12 +0000

I just published some pages about my web projects, a short portfolio of websites and some pieces of software I’ve created so far, and a list of mathematical lecture notes I’ve written. The latter includes links to all notes in PDF format.

Welcome

Hello world, this is the first post in this new blog! Hopefully, there will be more to see soon…
