A test..

The other day, Galina and I took the dogs to the Jardin del Mar beach for a pleasant walk.

I tried Snapchatting, which I'm apparently not terribly good at.

Yet.

It's hard to see from the image, but that dog back there is sort of a full-sized canine that would snap Thumper in two with very little effort, methinks. Thank Providence for leads.

Cheers...

UPDATE:

OOof! Okay, two problems right off the bat:

My Snapchat format is portrait, not landscape. Obviously, the rendering is trying to force the frame to fit the wrong size. I shall attempt to see what happens if I swap the vertical and horizontal values suggested in the HTML provided by LJ. (Nothing happens. I get the same squashed video.) Hmmm.

The video is, for some reason, reversed left-to-right. I see this in my Snapchat playback as well, as when someone is wearing a tee shirt for example (the "message" of the shirt appears reversed). Seeing reversed video here is, apparently, a brain fart on my part. The video, though squashed, is correctly oriented left-to-right. (And Snapchat video is reversed.)

I don't get Snapchat. I'll get there eventually... AW

M'dear, it turns out we're not supposed to get Snapchat! Something recent ran past my eyeballs, to the effect that Snapchat is changing to accommodate the way older users interact with the service, which apparently is turning the "hip" crowd off of Snapchat.

Cheers...
