A weekend project for any of you with access to a digital camera: Make a photographic tour of your room / studio / flat / maisonette / house / mansion.

Post it on this thread next week, for everyone to enjoy / mock.

Can we do it with work too? My work looks crazy pretty these days: big grand hall with staircase and red carpet and giant marble statue of Queen Victoria: big chandeliers, and this net of fairy lights in the ceiling and these big Victorian style christmas swags of leaves and stuff. And stained glass windows. It is ace.

That sounds like a great idea for another thread, London.

Send them to misc

Posted by MiscellaneousFiles (Member # 60) on :

Click this asterisk * and then browse your computer for the file. Click the button and it will be magically copied to my webserver. It's even kind enough to write the UBB code for you.

Posted by saltrock (Member # 622) on :

It doesn't like me. [Frown]

Posted by MiscellaneousFiles (Member # 60) on :

Oh alright... send them to ajpaynter (at) hotmail.com and I'll sort it.

Misc is scary. But I will play his game.

I culd post a picture of my garden that stars a Satanic steaming cat. But it also has my whumping willow on it and now it's dead and makes me sad.

Posted by Louche (Member # 450) on :

I did post a picture of my garden that stars a satanic steaming cat.

Is there something wrong with my image upload thingy?

Posted by froopyscot (Member # 178) on :

I tried earlier, and got a funky error message.

I'll try again and see what happens.

Posted by froopyscot (Member # 178) on :

I got this:

code:

Request object error 'ASP 0104 : 80004005'

Operation not Allowed

/tmo/uploads/upload.asp, line 32

For what it's worth, I get the same error on both Firefox and IE.

Posted by MiscellaneousFiles (Member # 60) on :

What filetype were you trying to upload? I think it only allows gifs, jpgs and pngs under a certain size...

Let me see what I can do.

Posted by Travelling Canadian (Member # 491) on :

Okay. I tried to upload a picture of my front yard....

Posted by Travelling Canadian (Member # 491) on :

Ooh! It's so big! Sorry. Just thought you'd enjoy some Botswana sunshine over there...
Please make it smaller, if you can. Else everyone will be ticked off at me for fucking up the page!

Here's a shot of mine and rooster's new christmas tree. With a close-up view of one ornament in particular.

Posted by squeegy (Member # 136) on :

This is what I see looking over my screen out the window.

Thats before the rain we have had over the last 2 or 3 days. Hot and dry!

Posted by froopyscot (Member # 178) on :

Mine and TC's images should be working better now.

Posted by Astromariner (Member # 446) on :

Squeegy/TC, is it true that in Botswana, every citizen is legally entitled to their own plot of land, that they can build on/farm/do whatever they want with? Also: is there free education to degree level?

Posted by squeegy (Member # 136) on :

I think so. About the land that is. I should look into it, I might be the proud owner of a baobab tree and a warthog! As for education, Im not sure.

Posted by MiscellaneousFiles (Member # 60) on :

Who's up for BotswanaMeat 2005?

Posted by ben (Member # 13) on :

Squeegy - you appear to be living in JM Coetzee's hit novel Disgrace. Are you, by any chance, an embittered academic?

Posted by MiscellaneousFiles (Member # 60) on :

Welcome to Chez Misque

After taking your shoes off in the entrance hall, I welcome you to the living room:

Take a look on the shelves and you might be lucky enough to see Sy Snootles and the Rebo Band:

I'll spare you the kitchen and bathroom, but you're more than welcome to explore the bedroom (spot the Avonator):

Take a look out of the window and see the cold streets of Newbury:

I'm afraid the loft is off-limits at the moment. I might take you up there another day though, if you promise not to touch anything.

Miscellaneous Philes, did you really buy Peter's Friends on DVD?

£4 from local knocked-off DVD shop, you nosey bastard.

And I bought it on DVD rather than VHS because the DVD format offers:

Up to 8 hours of crystal clear, realistic and high detailed video
No rewind. You can move to any part of the movie in a second.
Superior audio. Sound is stored on DVD in digital format like on CD. It can be up to 8 sound tracks and up to 8 channels on every track stored on DVD.
Subtitles. You can turn them on and off whenever you want. You can watch movie with French soundtrack and simultaneously read subtitles in English or Spanish. It can be up to 32 subtitles track on a DVD.
Extras. DVD's are often produced with additional chapters that give info on the actors, "The Making of..." type info, trailers, alternative languages, and director's comment tracks. The digital format allows the data to be organized in chapters and easily accessible via the remote control through a graphical interface menu, which is part of each DVD. The graphical interface is very flexible and the actual graphics are unique for each DVD. Each chapter can be almost instantly accessed via the remote. Some disks have PC-Friendly feature, which you can use if you have a DVD-ROM drive in your PC. Usually it contains some games, additional info about the movie (e.g. screenplay), images, etc.
You can watch DVD as many times as you want. When compared to a VCR, the advantage is even greater. Unlike a tape playing on a VCR player, the DVD disc is not touched by any mechanical part. Only a beam of laser light touches the disc. So even after 100"s of plays, the DVD disc has no wear characteristics. If you will not scratch or break it the picture will remain the same for long years.

Squeegy stared through the screen door into the featureless waste of the yard. It was nearly noon and the baobab had no birds in its branches and cast no shade onto the hot dust below. The corrugated tin door of the smaller outbuilding was hanging off its hinges - he'd meant to fix it earlier on the season but one thing had led to another and this, like so much else in his life, remained undone. He felt immensely weary.

From somewhere further back in the house - past the stairwell, maybe in the parlour - came the dog's ragged, unevenly rhythmic panting. Squeegy knew it was dying. Soon he would have to decide whether to take it to the flyblown veterinary practice in Hope, or whether he should finish it off himself in the yard.

The prospect sickened him.
