Big blue monster

[Al Lewis]

I see blue!!  By tomorrow it will explode all over the place.  May have taken longer due to the size of the cheese.

I think that the iPad doesn't actually rotate images but just adds some sort of image property telling how a device should show the image (saving CPU ressources).

Apparently this tag is only understood by iOS devices. I assume that Al is using a device from Apple since he gets the images right when they are clicked and that Mal is not.

Actually, I think just about any digital camera does it this way [just adding an image property] -- or at least, this is true of images from my Samsung cell phone and from both a point-and-shoot and a DSLR Canon. It is annoying if Apple does this in a non-standard way ...

I use a command-line utility called image-magick to do various sorts of manipulations on images; for example, I run a script that will batch-process images to reduce them to a desired size and make sure they are rotated correctly for posting on the web. This might work on a Mac ... don't know if it is available on an iPad or such.

Awakephd: I think that you are right. Either I'll find an image program for the iPad or just make sure that I have turned it right. :-)

Ageing - day 8:

IT IS HAPPENING! The blue mold is there...

Big blue got pierced today - around 50 holes. Now it has to stay unturned in the cave for 7 days. After this period it is turned and pierced from the other end. Each day the cheese is moved a little to prevent it from sticking to the mat. It is still living in the cave at around 12C.

Larry: Yes - I was a bit anxious... I pierced all 21 cm (8 inches) from top to bottom.

Ageing - day 9:

The cheese is soft and smooth - this is what I am looking for. The blues that I have made before Big Blue has been to firm for my taste.
