A note for Harry Fluks + The date at the blueprints of the MB

I have now put the scans of "The Blueprints of The
Money Bin" on-line:
http://duckman.pettho.com/sc_cover/v_moneyb1.html

I have also made a blueprintversion (white text on a
dark blue background):
http://duckman.pettho.com/sc_cover/v_bluep1.html

By the way, do the date (4/5-1902) at the bottom of
the sheets mean May 4th as it would in Scandinavia or
do it mean April 5th?


I then have some comments about your Barkshomage-scans
which I hope will be helpful for future scans:

a) They are saved in JPG-format even though they don't
include more than 256 colours. A quick check showed
that they are using 182 and 189 unique colours. I
tried both JPG and GIF with my own versions and saved
more than 16% size with GIF. And since the JPG-format
also reduces the quality of the scan, it was all in
all a very poor choice of format.

An example of the opposite is that the only known scan
of "Gyro's Beagletrap" is saved as GIF. But that
happened many years ago.

b) The two scans are not in the exact same scale, and
the scan of the second part of the Blueprints seems to
have been done in a hurry. So I had to work for hours
to get presentable graphics for my site.

Anyway, as we Norwegians like to say it – when the end
is well, everything is well. And so it is this time as
well!

Sigvald :-)
