luminarie

Today (yesterday?) I went to Kobe to see the Luminarie. It's a commemmorative illumination for the earthquake of 1995, but was across between a memorial of what was lost and a celebration of what Kobe has turned into since (judging by the atmosphere, and the spirit of most people there). It was a really impressive display and I couldn't resist

what is the max sixe for journal entries? i've managed to get some pretty large-sized pictures in mine. is it really high resolution?

65,535 bytes. You've probably gotten large pictures in them because you're hosting them from somewhere else. I'm actually including the picture data inside the journal entry because I don't have any web space for pictures anywhere else right now. It's actually a cute trick I picked up a week or so ago (see "testing (bonus picture included)", 2005-12-7@3:48). It actually seems to work pretty well for what it's worth.

a cute trick huh?
i'd been trying to figure out how to include photos in posts without getting an image hoster but was unsuccessful, good to know that it is possible.

Yeah, I forget exactly where I picked it up from. But if you look at the source of my journal entry and this page, you can hopefully understand what's going on. Assuming you know at least a little bit of HTML, that is. You can also use that page to create the data URIs as well (so it's a convenient tool). But, it does happen to only work on FireFox as far as I know. I know IE doesn't support data URIs yet.
