Save A Video From an iMessage

Someone sent you a video via iMessage and you want to save it.  With iOS7 here's what you do.

Here's an iMessage with a video.  I want to save it to my phone.

Select the video as if you were going to play it.

Select the Share icon.  I have put a red circle around it.  When you select that you will see these options.

Select Save Video.
Look in your Photos.  You will see the video.

Cheers.

Thank you.

In part I we set up a Sinatra site to read pictures from a directory. Now, we are going create a form to upload pictures, along with tests to make sure it works.

Make a website that displays pictures from a directory.  Sinatra would work well for this.

My Blood Letting.

I went to give blood today. I've done this before so it's nothing new.

Stats before we started 135/85 pulse 76.

I wasn't sure about the nurse. She made me nervous. We started anyway. After I few minutes I started feeling bad. I asked them to stop and I need to lay down. Ice packs were deployed. I think I remember everything but I'm not sure. Finally asked to lay flat on the floor. They carefully got me on the floor. After a few minutes, I guess, I started feeling better. I heard somebody say "He's opening his eyes." Then I started making jokes. "He's ok." Then they took my blood pressure. 

98/66 pulse 47 after I "felt better" but still lying on the floor. 

106/72 pulse 53 after a few minutes sitting back in the chair. 

I'm still in chair some 40 minutes later. I feel ok but not ready to stand up.
