Nooooo.. you silly Habit.. It could be 60 degrees tomorrow, with a hard wind from the norte...

I won't tell you about the Turkey sandwiches... Much too long a story.. I won't tell you about everything that is going with them either..

Besides.. I think I'm goin to Neets house.. Good sounding food there too, and it's warmer...;)

[Neets]

I don't know about warmer..maybe on the inside with all the oven and whatnots going...but you sure is invited to hang out...grab hold of a Turkey Leg....oh..never mind, Habs won't be joining us.

[grannie9]

Ohhh.. I want to talk to you.. I was in Pbase yesterday.. and the pics are fantastic.. I was thinking of joining them, but I have to find out what the restrictions are on posting size.. Is the one you posted copyrighted? That could be the reason.. I stole some of them myself..;)

That's a beautiful pic. It's a great site for pics for sure.. Too many good photogs in there for a clunker tho.. I am going to check it out more even so...

[grannie9]

And a Lawyer and a Judge? lol lol lol

[grannie9]

Ohhh.. don't sigh Loddy dear.. it's clouding up.. ;)

[grannie9]

All reflection.

[Kathleen]

Most definitely...we'd need all the legal help we can get. ;-)

[grannie9]

Hmmmm... I'll have to do a google search...

[lodwick]

You should have turned it upside down - good job with the camera though - keep'em coming while I go look for FL real estate.

Grannie,

Best as I can tell, that is a site where you can upload to your heart's content, and for some of those pictures (I have pretty good internet bandwidth) they are tens of thousands of pixels wide and thousands high. I took that particular panorama and got the 'original' size picture down, and really studied the detail in it until I could almost feel the fog in the distance.

As to copyright, I would contact the photographer before selling his picture, but I have no reservations about looking or show-and-tell. I know some don't even like that but pbase looks to be the supreme forum for those who do.

I talked to a lady last night, just back from Africa, and she had 24 rolls of film (>500 pictures) and was looking for where to post some of them (she got a CD disk for each roll) and I will suggest pbase now.

I think what happens with pictures 'disappearing' is that the server figures out when pictures are being requested, generates small ones on the fly from big ones, and passes the id's of the small ones back. After a pre-determined time, say 10 minutes, it clears them out. That way a person can upload just a huge one, and the server can compress it, then make large/medium/small/thumbnail versions on demand.

Cheers.

Just got this from home.

Three of Gary's four..Matt, Chloe, and Chris..

[lodwick]

awww - that is way to precious for words - thank you.

[lodwick]

to = too

I think the Xanax is kicking in. ;-)

[grannie9]

Is that last pic I posted seeable to you? Grrrrrr..

[lodwick]

WTF - it showed up fine and has now gone X on me - lemme refresh.

[lodwick]

Good grief - still an X

Anyhow it's a precious pic whenever it decides to show up.

[lodwick]

Gooble, gooble

[grannie9]

They switched numbers on me.. Let's try this one.

[Sundog]

Is this what you got from home?

Two Boys and a Baby

It is a case of the server only giving you a temporary link to the picture.

cheers.

[grannie9]

As soon as I clear my head..I will check your post again..and try to decide what to do about PBase.. Have been reading their Chat boards.. Getting an idea of the place..
