"its final size is 22,017 × 42,807 pixels."

Don't even think to open it in PhotoShop.


"file is over 100MB in LZW-compressed TIFF format"

O__O it's huuuge for a grayscale picture with a lot of white. The ratio is ~1/9. I wonder if a dumb RLE wouldn't be better here.

beautiful as always, did you use a filter on this shot. it seems to have a slightly un-natural aura about it.

2. posted by Milo at 22:25 on March 21, 2005

No filter. Things look kind of off because I (accidentally) moved the camera ever so slightly during the 3 seconds of exposure.

This PC's video card is hooked up to a splitter for a projector and regular monitor, and everything gets a bluish cast. This picture and the previous ones really fit together now. Rather good, I'd say. Unlike my explanation here. :-)

Being a little curious I checked to see if the exif info was available but due to the resizing I guess it fell of. But it would be cool if it still was there wouldn’t it? And then thinking about it, it wouldn’t be to hard to cook up a little php that reads the exif.

2. posted by Calm_Pear at 07:02 on March 14, 2005

Ah.. uhm.. read_exif_data()
(Note: This function is only available in PHP 4 compiled using --enable-exif)

3. posted by Milo at 08:24 on March 14, 2005

I usually strip those for file size optimization. But this is a still from a movie, so it wouldn't have EXIF data anyway.

I've stumbled across your blog once again... I really like the capture of the almost futuristic ceiling. The tree-thing in the background prevents the photo from being completely futuristic though. However, I'm no expert. Just my two cents.

2. posted by Milo at 19:59 on March 12, 2005

Funny, that. I actually thought about erasing out the tree (would have been real easy in this case), but trees count as Good Things in my mind, so I couldn't bring myself to do it.

Even the term 'Dunglish' is a collision. A better term would be 'Dutchlish'.

Umm, I think the whole point is that it's supposed to be a collision.

4. posted by Natashka at 16:53 on March 11, 2005

What nice compliments! It was a play on words with "where ABC *meets* XYZ". Colliding is usually not a good thing, hence the use of collide. That's how my brain works :)

Strange, the original is working fine for me...
Anyway, the trick amounts to adding the following three lines to your .htaccess file:

SetEnvIfNoCase Referer ".*(word1|word2|etc).*" BadReferrer
order deny,allow
deny from env=BadReferrer

4. posted by Mathieu 'P01' HENRI at 15:26 on March 08, 2005

Why would people make their stats public ? o_Ô

I doubt it really interrest someone else but the admin of the site, and it exposes their site to referrer spam.

5. posted by Milo at 15:29 on March 08, 2005

I dunno, I kinda like seeing referrers at other sites... Also, referrers for specific weblog entries can be an interesting source of more information.

6. posted by Mathieu 'P01' HENRI at 15:48 on March 08, 2005

Indeed. And your site is a great example of that. Have you ever had a case of referrer spam ?

BTW, I've got tricked 1 or 2 times by your referrer box when I checked the referrers in my stats. I clicked on a link and shazaam the URL of my stats appeared in full on your site :p Oops

7. posted by Milo at 15:51 on March 08, 2005

Yeah, that's tricky... ;)
I am getting hundreds of attempts at comment- and referrer-spam every day. I filter a lot of it via php but this new .htaccess-based method saves some cpu-power.

8. posted by huphtur at 16:00 on March 08, 2005

what about using trackback and/or pingback?

9. posted by Milo at 16:02 on March 08, 2005

I have never seen a useful trackback or pingback.

10. posted by Roel at 22:09 on March 08, 2005

The new Nucleus referrer plugin checks the referring webpage to see if there is really a link to your site. That is a very solid way for verifying if you are(n't) dealing with spam (though links accessed through a webmail or online rss aggregator cannot be verified).
http://www.rakaz.nl/nucleus/item/57

11. posted by Mathieu 'P01' HENRI at 22:27 on March 08, 2005

It could be a kind of magic bullet if in case of a fake referrer it send for approval an updated version of the .htaccess to the admin to filter referrer spams from/for similar domains.

However I fear such plugin put the server into a crawl during a spam fiesta with dozens/hundreds of spam attempts per minute.

12. posted by Jan! at 19:23 on March 09, 2005

Actually, Roel, that still doesn't provide fool-proof protection. All it takes is one smart enough spammer to keep a bucket of [ip] => [hostname1..hostnameN] translations and dynamically insert a link to all hostnames for the IP doing the request.
