Sounds like a nice idea Amy, but I think I need to go digital for response times like that. Hopefully by the end of June I will be playing around in the digital world.

They would have to be photos of things that nobody else has in their daily life, as I can't imagine Darryn pays the bandwidth bill for pages of desk and toilet roll pix.
Also, those of us without access to scanners are disadvantaged, nay, actively discriminated against. I have books of inventive, stunning and completely original photos (absolutely NOT pages of drunken Polish parties, blurred Rocky mountains, out of shot portraits and fucked angled landscapes) that the world just needs to see.

Darren's not paying the bandwidth bills for these pics though cos none of them are hosted on TMO, Misc is more than likely picking up the tab for this stuff. Fair point about no boring pics though.

Use my bandwidth and abuse it.

What would be like really clever would be if daily life pix were somehow anonymously scanned onto the TMO Gallery, and we had to guess whose life it was. It would be like Catch Phrase or something.

But you'd still be able to hazard guesses at who's stuff was who's, which is the main object of the game. Anyone with eyes could partake in it. Or, are you suggesting that people are now so totally self centred that they could only possible enjoy a thread/ game if it was directly related to them?

I can hold the developed pics against the scren and press "enter", but apparently you need something known as a "scanner".

Or when you have your film developed VP, you could ask to have the photos put onto a disc. Takes away the need for a scanner.

Has that technology made it to Superdrug and Boots? Sounds expensive, and I'd still want Real Life pictures at the same time to put in my photoboox.
How about I take thorn's digitle camera on a night out and take pix of all the available men, and you could judge who I should snog or not? It'd be like Blind Date or something.

I don't know it it's made it to Boots...I do know that they do it at a store here called CVS (Which is similar to Boots) and it doesn't cost a lot more. Basically, when you have your photos developed, you can check a little box, asking to have them put onto a disc for you. Costs about $1 more here (I think. I've never actually done it, but I know loads of people who have.).

VP - indeed Boots do it. I have myself availed myself of the service. It was either free, or 50p, or something. And you get high-and low-res to choose from. Checkitout!

I've done the "process to disk" option at CVS a few times. They usually provide two options - the cheaper option which provides low-resolution scans on a 1.44MB floppy disk, or the better route, to get high-resolution scans on a CD. Quite a few of the pictures I posted on the original gallery thread were scanned from negative to CD (not by a pharmacy/chemist but by a specialized photo lab - only different in that the photo lab provided a higher resolution scan than the CVS processing).
And once again, I start out with the intention of contributing something of value and end up rambling incoherently.

This is all good for the future. But it does mean you all miss out on seeing my past photographic efforts. Because looking at other people's holiday pics is soooooo much fun!

Solution to VP's problem
Why don't you just buy a scanner?
The cost about £30*
And for everyone else that doesn't have a digital camera and is going blah blah blah blah bitch bitch bitch.....
BUY A DIGITAL CAMERA BEYATCH!
>> Yeah you can get them for about £30, you work, you could spend that on a tuesday down the pub

Thing is, if the photo is posted in here, it also uses Darryn's bandwidth.
As each page is created on the fly, even of the image is hotlinked, it still 'streams' through Darryn's webhost, counting against his bandwidth usage...
I don't know if I can do it or not (haven't played with it much), but if I can, I'll sort out a gallery for everymember that wants one and they can just post a link to view it. Your upload feature could still be used as individual images for those that don't have alot need for a full gallery, but for those that want to upload lots and post links to them, I can provide that until you get your sql sorted...
Just a thought.

Really? That sucks. I just assumed that when your browser requested the image it would request it from the actual host such that only the text and images particular to TMO were counting against Darryn's bandwidth usage. That really bites but at least I now know more than I did before. I assume that the bandwidth usage for serving the pic counts against the actual host as well as counting against Darryn?

See? We're running into conflict problems already. I find the bag-to-mouth transfer protocol to be most satisfying when an S+V app has been embedded into the product, but you seem to have issues with that. I can see this being a problem.
quote:Originally posted by mart: Ahhh but what flavour crisps?
Ah, who cares. The crisps are just a 'nice to have' the important bit is the beer. In fact we can forego the crisps entirely and just get more beer if that'll cause less hassle.

I for one vote for the crisps. I'm not bothered by choice of flavour, so long as Beef, Barbeque and Steak are off the cards. Can we really go wrong with the classic Ready Salted?
And how shall the beer be chosen? No lager for me thanks...

Whilst someone generously pretended to be interested, I looked back at my photo album over the weekend. This prompted me to have a quick sift through the many photos that never made the final cut. Here's 3 I like:
Beggars, Varanassi (Of all the photos I took of the places I have visited, it's the ones of people I now like the best)
Unknown woman, City of the Dead
Taj Mahal, Agra (I know this isn't the most conventional angle from which to photograph the Taj - but I loved the quality of the sunrise reflected in the white marble)
