Insomniac passing anhypnic nights in writing, translation, music, mathematics, programming and whatever else captures my attention or alleviates agrypnia.


This consists mostly of quotations of things that stand out to me or reflect what's on my mind; occasionally I also post original, often more personal, content as well, which may be found under the "personal" tag. Anything posted under "translations" is also original work and may broadly be taken as personal as well as I seldom tackle a work that does not speak to or for me in some way.

Instagram (for Android) users: has anyone else been having trouble with over-pixelation since the last update? These two are an example of a pre-update shot (on the left) and post-update, taken with the same camera. The original shots taken by and stored on the phone before processing are both clear, crisp, unpixelated scenes, and even though the shot on the left is a smaller crop of the original than is the right, the right Instagram-processed shot looks as if it were first shrunk to some overly small resolution and then enlarged into its present pixelated state.

It’s not a consistent behavior, as the flooded field and tree I posted yesterday was itself a post-update shot that doesn’t seem to suffer the same effect, but I’m seeing it on several other images; so many that I’ve taken to throwing the bulk out rather than posting, which is making the whole affair a bit of a waste of time. Just wondering if this is more wide-spread or unique to my device.
