+SD Rowdies Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) Note two James: How y' like my desktop image? Harmon, you seem to be coming up in the world. That's quite a change from the ol' homestead. Note: Harmon didn't say it, so I will. Honk if you know where it is. (Hopefully your answer will not be wholly rude.) "Wholly rude ...," James, you are too cool for words. Speaking of words, I'm presently amidst the collected works of Sir Walter Scott. The only problem I'm having is that the Oxford English Dictionary version that came with my Kindle fails me, just now and again, with regard to ancient words and phrases of the Highlander variety. Because you are not wholly blameless for Kindle functionality how would it be if I text linguistic inquiries to you for interpretation as needed? For example - "If he had stuck by the way, I would have lent him a heezie, the dirty scoundrel, as willing as ever I pitched a boddle." Honestly, how can the OED fail on "heezie" and "boddle?" Note to Self: Hmm, should I forewarn James that I read late into the night? Note two Self: Nah, he'll be up finishin' a pot ainy w'y. Note three Self: Concise Dictionary of Scottish Words and Phrases isn't integrated into Kindle dang it! Edited July 16, 2012 by SD Rowdies Quote Link to comment

May I recommend the Dictionary of the Scots Language? James, Thank you for the thoughtful recommendation. Fact is that I have the DSL link in my Favorites list. How life has changed reading-wise ... now seeking the best combination of an eBook with either the online or a physical dictionary. How odd it is that the latter case offers freedom to read in bed or away without desktop or handheld Internet access. Trouble is the DSL runs to many volumes so that texting you for answers at all hours is clearly the most sensible option. Edited July 16, 2012 by SD Rowdies Quote Link to comment
+SD Rowdies Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) On another topic, it took a while but finally somebody noticed the fact that clicking a Facebook Like-button is a sleazy marketing trap used to boost Like-count advertising revenue for online firms. Works like this ... whenever you click a Like-button offered on a Facebook page of an online firm they then make use of your expression of "Like" by sending an RSS Internet feed to your Facebook Friends asserting that you, by name, Like (recommend) their firm. Result is that a fair number of your Friends will view and click the Like button of the firm's Facebook page. Payoff is that the firm gains a substantial increase in (false) Like-button activity, thus being able to justify larger fees for advertising on their online site. Lemmings lead not over a precipice but to a Facebook Like-scheme and advertisers being cheated. After all, what are Friends for? A false-Like extortion scheme, I like it!

+SD Rowdies Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 (edited) Testing something new ... and then removed it. More later. It's later .... Cool, I figured it out ... direct URL accesss to images stored on Microsoft Live Skydrive thus bypassing the Skydrive share- image viewer. Test photo is of Sandy and me above the Dublin Canal while on our way to find a Geocache container hidden in a canal gate that's beside a stone bridge built in 1769, a few years after I was born. Take a good look at Sandy's cheesy brolly ... fractured ribs and broken stitching but still keeping the rain away. Blame John of Jahoadi and John for this because he asked me how to share very large image files with friends due to the fact that his gmail account doesn't accommodate large attachments. No good deed goes unpunished ... now I have a 57-Gbyte Skydrive account that I didn't really want. Only way to advise is to know, so at least I learned to drill into the Skydrive server as needed to tame it. The first seven Skydrive Gbytes are free by the way with no strings attached. That's more than enough for John's purpose. I wasn't able to control my click-fanger and so paid $25.00 for the additional 50-Gbytes of storage, a calendar-year charge. My usual online-storage account is on a Serif server in England that gives me 100-Gbytes and that fabulous tele'-support lady with the sexy Brit' accent that I've come to know and love.

Officially, the designation is Citroen 2CV which means "deux chevaux-vapeur" or two horsepower. But that's a little misleading since this is "fiscal (tax) horsepower" and refers to a French law on taxing engine size. The actual output was a whopping 9hp. The design was intended to be an umbrella on wheels capable of carrying two farmers and 50kg of potatoes to market. Another design criteria is that it be able to carry a basket of eggs across a plowed field without breakage. Edited July 31, 2012 by Let's Look Over Thayer Quote Link to comment

James, Nine horsepower y' say ... now I know why my kneck ached after each and every acceleration. My gosh, I once owned a ten-horsepower lawn mower. With regard to eggs, we had good results transporting eggs and other daily needs from the village street markets roundabout our quaint river-stone bungalow in St. Romaine de Malegarde. The Citroen came with the bungalow as part of our VRBO (Vacation Rental by Owners) outing to Provence. Of course we also rented a modern vehicle on arrival in Marseilles to support our more adventurous wanderings that might have put the Citroen into retirement. As to the bottle of wine, like all wines the ingredients came from the same cooperative vats; the difference being only in the bottle, the label, the chemicals, and the coloration that differentiates each and every gargle of the very same fluid that is so fawned over by uninformed, what's that word, ... oficiandos? Reminds me of the famous line spoken by P.T. Barnum. On the other hand I do subscribe to a concept that goodness is improved by aging. Not naming any names of course.

Doug 7rxc, still running in circles up here. Doug, How does one run in circles when there are so many trees in your neck of the woods? Quite right about retouching and restoring, both activities are amongst my great pleasures. At my age it feels grand to know that some old things can be put into new-like condition. Maybe instead of Photoshop some brilliant medical genius should contrive a Peopleshop machine. If that happens I'll be first in line for treatment. One in four people in the U.S., over age, 60 now have a surgical replacement. Altering images is also one of my passions as might be obvious from posted images on this Forum thread. In the extreme it is a challenge to fabricate image content as can be seen in the image above wherein James seems to have a bagpiper serenade. In that image the right half is constructed from tiny tidbits taken from the left half of the image in the fashion explained in the "tsunami retouching" video though, in this case, not done with professional care. I suppose this approach is just a digital version of what painters of the realism ilk achieve with canvas, brushes, and oils. Being dead is not a problem but not living on is a tragedy.

Your experience with offering an image and having it rejected hits home with me. I went through an early stage of image and video editing wherein I expected that others might appreciate my efforts.
