Charting new territories

guardia canine

Še en teden mimo… smo na 18. dnevu in hrčki se pridno bližajo magični meji 1kg. Pravzaprav sem pričakoval, da bo Hanibal to mejo dosegel že danes pa je bil očitno na nedeljskem postu. Homer je po seriji nekoliko počasnejših krogov zopet v igri za prvo mesto z minimalnim zaostankom, Heli pa z velikim napadom iz ozadja v stilu Valentina Rossija (glej MotoGP v Assnu) po dolgem času spet vodi. Neopazno a vztrajno pa se vodilni trojici po dolgotrajnem ogrevanju približuje tudi Hana. Najbolj urejeno prebavo s skoraj linearnim trendom rasti ima vsekakor Hooch, žal pa je revež še vedno na zadnjem mestu po skupni teži in si deli zadnje mesto po relativnem prirastku.
Vsekakor bo zanimivo videti koliko trenutni trendi nakazujejo naslednje tedne in mesece.

Namesto tabel v obliki slike tokrat v ta namen uporabljam Google Spreadsheet, upam da je bolj pregledno in uporabno. Žal mi je edino za grafe, ki jih Google samovoljno odstrani pri uvažanju iz xls datoteke. Sicer bi jih lahko naredil na novo z uporabo njihovega čarovnika vendar zaenkrat ostajam pri screenshotih. Glej thumbnaile spodaj…

Prav zanimivo je opazovati spremembo vedenja odkar so vsi spregledali, počasi se postavljajo na majave noge in lezejo iz pomožne košare (v uporabi med čiščenjem škatle itd.), predvsem pa so postali nekam bolj glasni (a kljub vsemu še povsem spodobno mirni).

It’s that time again… weight watching time.

Rather than uploading weight tables as images I’ve uploaded the behemoth (to be) to Google Spreadsheet – view it here. I’d do the same with charts but I haven’t figured out how to do that (yet). Google docs naughtily removes any charts contained in the xls file. Sure, I could make new ones using google interface… someday maybe. But for now I’ll have to make due with images, see below:

teza21
Skupna teža / Total weight

teza22
Skupni prirastek / total gain

teza23
dnevni prirastek / daily gain

teza24
Relativni prirastek glede na začetno težo / gain relative to birth weight

Lightboxing

Just a quick note on how I took the “identity” shots in one of the previous posts.

After running around the house, trying to find something to build a DIY lightbox/tent out of I stumbled on a picnic thermal box, the one you’d normally use to keep your beer cold ;) Other than it being a bit on the small side it was near perfect. All white, rounded corners and easy to clean (although there was no yellow/brown residue) ;)

I couldn’t get my flash inside the way I wanted so I grabbed hold of a flourescent reading light and stuck it in there. I had to adjust for awful white balance but it did the trick. Nice diffused light, just the way I wanted it. The only slight problem was the
fact that flourescent bulbs don’t always emmit the same color light and you will get some shot-to-shot variations in white balance.

Weight watch pt.2, day 10

Malo igranja s številkami in grafi / playing with numbers and infographics:

teza
Teža v gramih / Total weight in grams

teza 2
Skupni prirastek / Total gain

teza3
Dnevni prirastek v deležih / Daily gain in %

teza4
Prirastek glede na začetno težo v % / Gain as % of birth weight

teza5
Variacije na gole številke / playing with numbers
