Deer video test
Sep. 21st, 2013 09:26 amGotta love technology, and my confusion with it. I took pics with the iPad, put them into Dropbox, and uploaded them to an LJ post. The post looked fine and my links worked perfectly while on the iPad, but for whatever reason these pics have a tendency to appear upside down on a pc. When I saved the pic off of my post to a computer at work, with the intention of flipping it over, and I viewed it with IrfanView, the picture is correctly positioned. To make things more confusing, the little pic on the desktop (the thumbnail) is upside down.
I saved the pic from InfranView, and it still shows upside down on the desktop thumbnail, but I see it here in LJ as correct.

Also, the video I linked from Flickr didn't play on my pc, but that could be scriptblocking and who knows what because trying it again here at work it plays just fine.
Anyway, this was the post, including my upside down pic...

A small video of deer in the front yard this morning. The video is on Flickr and linked below.

I tried a Dropbox upload of the video but it failed: the photo uploaded without a problem. This takes a bit to load from the iPad, and requires multiple taps to run from Flickr, but it works. This was all done using the tablet, including the video: primitive but effective. I'm posting this and heading to the PC now to see how it looks.
Note: Newly installed IOS 7 has been a drag on the iPad: everything runs slower even though I have over 4GB memory open. I suspect 7.1 won't be far off.
Also- There's a lot of school traffic in the background of the video.
