Updated the nBLOG Photo Archive (not to be confused with the main gallery) to paginate the photos. Since the photos used in the blog are small(ish) – there’s no need to generate thumbnails, but loading all of them in one page has its share of penalties with regards to bandwidth. The pagination of the pages should solve this problem.

I also will be applying the pagination to the complete article archive for the same reasons.

The two screens of the 20D

For all the 20D users out there, you’d be pleased that I’ve taken it upon myself to make perfect representations of the LCD dimensions (including the rounded corners) for printing. The image on the right is an example of the output.

The purpose of creating such files, is to allow you to make your own screen protectors, without any guessing. What I do is buy [or use old] PDA screen protectors (because they’re big enough for experimenting) and cut them up to fit the 2 LCD displays of the 20D.

On a side note; I’d also suggest you getting static-cling, re-washable protectors for obvious reasons.

I’ve included various file formats for download. The original XAR (Xara) vector file, another EPS version (for better chances of compatibility)… and if all else fails – a 300ppi PNG version.

You can also take your chances by simply printing this webpage as the image displayed is at 72ppi, so it [theoretically] should work. But to be safe, just download the real deal and make sure to print at 300ppi.

Like in the previous post, here are the somewhat finished protectors:

Perfect static-cling protectors

Enjoy! ;)
