Ummm.... no. It is illegal, sorry. Unless you work for the friend's company, and that copy is site licensed for x number of computers, you're violating the license.

Good night stress girl, try to chill. I would suggest moderate amounts of dark chocolate with an herbal tea. Maybe a chamomile, spearmint, lemon kind of deal.trying to chill...trying to chill...trying to chill...

He is home and fine, they found no cardiac issues and sent him on his merry way! Thanks for asking.Yay! Great News Crissa. :)

Do you download them from itunes? Initially I did, but I quickly found audible.com, which is a much better deal.

Wonder if Jamie will discover we're all Black?I literally lol at this one, and I rarely do that. :lol:

I went online shopping. That is never good.;) I'm glad the server went up before I maxed out my retirement plan.I did some long needed modifications on my forum use website. Won't look different if you check it, but it's more efficient now. ;)

How's about this then?

http://www.the-aperture.com/EE/photos/normal/IMG_4983.jpgthe OOF foreground flowers freak me out, but that bug is SUPER cute - like a little turtle! :D

I'd rather have one of my omelets over pancakes any day!Me too - Mike made me an omlet today. OMGosh, now even I'm doing the weird update thing. It's a disease! :shock:

Total dork questionWhy not use your whole 30 days of FREE? Current value of money and all that... ;)

[cfpackerfan]

Why not use your whole 30 days of FREE? Current value of money and all that... ;)Oh I'm gonna. ;) But I only have 15 days left, and we are going to be out of town when it expires. I've used LR exclusively for my last job, and I'm nervous about losing any of it. So, I'm getting all my ducks in a row now so to speak, so I'm ready to jump when I have to. It's that darn OCD thing. :lol:

I don't think you'll lose anything. When you return from your trip and open it, it will likely tell you that your trial period has expired and offer you a button to click to buy your copy. :)

But OCD I understand. ;) completely.

I didn't kill the thread Kody. It was your turn to post after me and everyone was patiently waiting for you to do it. :confused: ;)

SNAKE WARNING!!!

In Pick "n Share

Hi all, took the afternoon off, took a nap, went for an annual exam, now I'm catching up before I have to put my hair on.

Back in a bit.

[Jamie Holladay]

Awwww Shucks, Cat.

[theague]

I'm catching up before I have to put my hair on.

Back in a bit.

You wear a WIG!? :shock:

[Mgdh]

G'mae all.

Well, I had a bunch of posts quoted this morning and then they went and changed server on me :roll: Now I've just spent forever trying to catch up with you chatty bunch!

Puds - LOVE the TR's!!!!!

Just thought I'd share. How cute is this?

A moment of silence......

OK.... back to your manly car talk.

Cat, I know I'm late here but I'm glad he felt better after making this.

I used my time productively today (again).


Gaaa! Tree rat. Why do they have to look so cute while being a pest?

Man this new server is SO cool! I'm all over the place and back again in no time.

Tell me about it - I can't keep up with you, miss chatty fingers ;)

Mike is the hamster, Mark is the sandy building or whatever it is

edit: i think

You mean this one, Wanda?

http://newquay-plus.co.uk/POTN/WWPD/2006-10-29_Huers.jpg

It's a local landmark. It was a hermitage dating from the 1100's and used by the local fishing community in Newquay in the 1800's. The 'Huer' would watch out over the bar for the shoals of pilchards, alert the fishermen when he saw them by raising a 'hue and cry' and then direct the boats to the shoals.

It's now a Grade II listed building which means it has to be maintained as it is of historic importance.

Pekka must have changed how it works, then. He explained a while ago that even junior members were fed ads. I can't remember how long ago it was that I saw him mention that. Could have been a year or two...

I think I saw ads until post 100, then they disappeared.

I just noticed Cat's username on the list, it has a + next to it for some reason:
cfpackerfan (http://75.126.234.18/forum/member.php?u=59746)+,

I wonder why?

It means you've added her to your "Friends" list...

Edit: Oops. It's called a "Buddy" list here.

I saw that for the first time today. Wonder if it's an option that's been enabled on the new server?

man this server is too fast, i bet catching up is going to be one pain in the @$$

Tell me about it :roll:

What the heck are curly wurlys? Fries from Arby's?

See >HERE< (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curly_Wurly)

HOLY CRAP CAT !! I can't keep up!! :lol:

If you can't what hope have I got :shock:

Hmm, weird. I didn't see that the first time around. Wazza Jelly Baby?

hey Cat, you just crested 13K :)

Yay - congrats Cat. It would have taken at least 10 minutes longer on the old server... ;)

[Athena]

Never knew there was a song called that... and i'm not going to listen to it either. ;)

You should dear - it's a good one by an amazing artist. :)

[Becky N]

You wear a WIG!? :shock:

Guess you were in Scottland at the time. I have two hair pieces to wear in the show in order to get a Victorian updo.

I've been watching/listening to all the JT links since I posted the first one. ;)
The ones from the 70s are amazing.

I LOVE this one. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNjLUPqckWY)

[Jamie Holladay]

That is a good one Cat.

[theague]

His voice is so great. It gave me chills when he started the song. :)

Although that could also be the espresso shake I'm drinking. :)

[cfpackerfan]

That is a good one Cat.Yep. He's amazing... gotta love that voice.

My Spyder2Express came yesterday (to the PMB). Mike just brought it home. :) I guess I have some documentation reading to do with this glass of wine now.

Jamie - how did your calibration go?

[theague]

does that work for you? :)


What do I get to call you?


Cat, now you've got me listening to all his songs. :) That 70's show that he did is cracking me up.

[theague]

Since we're on YOUTUBE..

Here's a song I like a lot. :) lol

>>>>CLICKYTIME!!!!<<<< (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kshiq0MnC6o)

[Athena]

What do I get to call you?

hmmm - I dunno, what do you think? ;)
( based on our age difference you should probably call me "Mam" :lol:)

[Jamie Holladay]

My Spyder2Express came yesterday (to the PMB). Mike just brought it home. :) I guess I have some documentation reading to do with this glass of wine now.

Jamie - how did your calibration go?
Smooth as silk.

The moniter in my office looks great. The two on the sales desks are not the same as in my office. The both look a ton better as well. The one of them that I am using at the moment is a bit dark, though.

Not much reading to it. Although I read everything through before I did anything and then read step by step because I wanted to do it right. I can't wait to get home and put it on my good moniter. That will tell the tell for me.

[Athena]

decision time....

Mike poured me a nice glass of red and I have Spyder documentation to read. Which one to choose? :)

[Jamie Holladay]

Since we're on YOUTUBE..

Here's a song I like a lot. :) lol

>>>>CLICKYTIME!!!!<<<< (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kshiq0MnC6o)
That did nothing for me.
hmmm - I dunno, what do you think? ;)
( based on our age difference you should probably call me "Mam" :lol:)
Easy now or he will have to call me "sir"

[Athena]

Smooth as silk.are you able to create a "before" profile in case what it does is awful?

[Jamie Holladay]

decision time....

Mike poured me a nice glass of red and I have Spyder documentation to read. Which one to choose? :)
Both. It is not that complicated. Unless your tolerance is LOW.

[Athena]

Easy now or he will have to call me "sir"

Hmmm - yeah... I think you are a wee bit older than me. ;)

[Athena]

Both. It is not that complicated. Unless your tolerance is LOW.


who me? :rolleyes: (insert innocent bewildered smiley)

[theague]

hmmm - I dunno, what do you think? ;)
( based on our age difference you should probably call me "Mam" :lol:)
Yeah right. You're not THAT much older than me. :rolleyes:
I'll think up something to call you that is friendly and respectable at the same time. How's that? :D

decision time....

Mike poured me a nice glass of red and I have Spyder documentation to read. Which one to choose? :)

Why can't you do both?

[Jamie Holladay]

are you able to create a "before" profile in case what it does is awful?
did not give that option. but you can go into setting somewhere and choose the ICC profile, but I can't remember where. I don't think you will have that problem. Just turn off all the lights you can, no lamps or direct light. (that is probably what is wrong with the ones in the show room)

[theague]

That did nothing for me.

Easy now or he will have to call me "sir"

I guess I'm another Neil, eh? :lol:

How about Sir Jamie?

[Jamie Holladay]

Hmmm - yeah... I think you are a wee bit older than me. ;)
yeah I know that is the reason I was saying be easy there. I am way too young to be called sir unless I have on my uniform. Then I command it.

[Jamie Holladay]

I guess I'm another Neil, eh? :lol:

How about Sir Jamie?
I don't know about another Neil but may just a little.

Sir James would be better... sounds more Knight like ;)

[misspix]

No way will he catch up. Most of us don't try after a few days absence, even with the OLD server!

Speak for yourself :) That was the one!! How'd ya know? Are you wearing your polka dotted dress today too? Where's Terri? ;)
*waving from underneath spreadsheets from hell* Holy Cat Crap! :shock: you all are moving waaaaaaaay too fast!

[Athena]

Yeah right. You're not THAT much older than me. :rolleyes:
I'll think up something to call you that is friendly and respectable at the same time. How's that? :DI like friendly and respectable. :)



Why can't you do both? because my alcohol tolerance is very low. :o :lol:

[Athena]

Speak for yourself :)
*waving from underneath spreadsheets from hell* Holy Cat Crap! :shock: you all are moving waaaaaaaay too fast!

Are you wearing your polka dot dress too Terri? Cat and I had a brain thing going on and I thought maybe it was a 3 brain thing... ?? :shock:

[misspix]

Are you wearing your polka dot dress too Terri? Cat and I had a brain thing going on and I thought maybe it was a 3 brain thing... ?? :shock:

As a ;matter of fact......:):):):)

[misspix]

Looks like I caught up in time to go back to work *sigh*

You all be careful, we aren't used to such speed :)

[misspix]

a speedy three

[Athena]

hi and bye Terri. :D

So I finally got the Spyder box open without damaging it (in case it suck) and find there is only a wee page of instructions. I can manage this. BBL

[cfpackerfan]

What do I get to call you?


Cat, now you've got me listening to all his songs. :) That 70's show that he did is cracking me up.Woo Hoo. Another convert. ;)

OOoOoOOoOoooooo! Well you know which one I would choose. ;) What kinda Red?

[cfpackerfan]

You all be careful, we aren't used to such speed :)

I've been dong that whole 'running so fast you trip over your own feet and slide across the ground on your face' move all day long. :lol:

[theague]

I don't know about another Neil but may just a little.

Sir James would be better... sounds more Knight like ;) Might piss off the Right Ponders.. lol

I like friendly and respectable. :)
because my alcohol tolerance is very low. :o :lol:
Well we're already calling you a goddess... what else can I call you to top that? :confused:
My tolerance has gone WAYYYYYYYYY down from where it was a few years ago. lol

Woo Hoo. Another convert. ;)

I liked that. :D

I wouldn't call me a convert. I already liked him I had just never heard those two songs.

I knew SOMEONE would appreciate it. :)

[short5]

*quietly and carefully sneaks into big empty room* POKE! *runs away *I didn't sleep well something kept poking me:confused:

Wonder if Jamie will discover we're all Black?You crack me up Wanda

G'mae everyone.
Zane, I have a question for you. We were thinking of shooting a rodeo next week and haven't a clue what lens to use. Which do you recommend? I use my 70-200 f/2.8 because it is at night ,the action is fast, and the stadium lights suck. You may do much better than me with that low light MKIII so you could do 100-400 which I think you have. I guess it depends how close you are but I would suggest at least the 70-200 range. Your best shots will be from against the rails where you can put the camera through the fence or up in the stands where you can shoot over the fence. There are two shots that look good imo. The tight crop of the cowboy and bull, but better I think, is the shot where you get the rider, bull fighters(rodeo clowns) and the other cowboys watching the ride. They always have very animated expressions and the fighters are always in an action type pose. Your camera should be great I am jealous. Keep in mind you may want a wider lens for crowd, atmosphere type shots as well as the cowboys warming up and getting ready. I rarely sit but wander and shoot from the rail instead.

:Zane isn't here yet today. :? Maybe he got lost on his way to the new server. Did someone leave him directions? I found it:D

well considering that there are no ads on POTN, Pekka hosts this site out of his pocket? Yes he does, cough up a few of your hard earned dollars and donate. Where else can you have this much fun? The link is in my siggy

What the frig is that? Google it great shots out there

She pees in her dress?? :shock: You are a really funny Wanda

Yup!! Anyone else want Brit candy bags?Yes I do!!

Wow, I once got two speeding tickets 12 minutes apart. In different counties, too! :D:cool:Lets not talk driving records. I stole two different neighbors cars before I was 16 and damaged them both so my parents would not sign for me to get a license when I was 16. As a result I was arrested 4 times for driving without a license before I was 18. I have wrecked 10 times on motorcycles twice with Leyla on board. My current status is I have so many tickets my insurance dropped me and I have state insurance to the tune of $3300 a year although I just got a notice they will renew at $1200 for next year. I have slowed down a bit in my maturity of the last 6 months.:rolleyes:

Mine was an ugly orange 1979 hatchback with a "wimpy" 2.6 liter (if I'm remembering correctly) v6. I had a long love/hate relationship with that car...Gaaa! not a mustang II??? I seriously doubt you hit 160 but I imagine you were flying if you pegged the speedo.

[Skrim17]

I can't even think of catching up!

Athena how goes the calibrating?

[theague]

You can't post another post until you catch up Crissa.

[short5]

I can't even think of catching up!

Athena how goes the calibrating?

Hi Crissa

[Jamie Holladay]

Might piss off the Right Ponders.. lol
Naw,

[short5]

You can't post another post until you catch up Crissa.

Well her loss she will just miss the bit when we were saying such nice things about her. Oh and that nasty bit. Oh and she has to go back and read that one description, that was great.

[Skrim17]

Zanebert my friend, I thought it was adorable that Leyla ran after you when you fell!

[short5]

Zanebert my friend, I thought it was adorable that Leyla ran after you when you fell!

Anyone else not have a time in the bar with the post number?

[theague]

Anyone else not have a time in the bar with the post number?

I must have missed something cause I have no CLUE what you're talking about. :confused:

[cfpackerfan]

Anyone else not have a time in the bar with the post number?

I have it... has yours gone missing?

I"m outta here. Play safe.

[Skrim17]

I don't have one Zane, but perhaps in the user control panel we have tot ell the server where we are?

[Jamie Holladay]

Anyone else not have a time in the bar with the post number?
I don't either. It could be because of the DNS?

[Athena]

OOoOoOOoOoooooo! Well you know which one I would choose. ;) What kinda Red?I'll go check - It's Yellow Tail Merlot. It has a roo on the bottle. :) It's nice.

Well we're already calling you a goddess... what else can I call you to top that? :confused:you are? when? :)
My tolerance has gone WAYYYYYYYYY down from where it was a few years ago. lolsame here. I was quite the fish in university and now I think the term is "cheap date". :lol:

Athena how goes the calibrating?It's a done deal. The change is almost not even noticeable, but I knew my laptop monitor was pretty much right... It's the desktop that will be interesting. I may send the Spyder back to Thailand with Mike since I don't really need it here now.

Anyone else not have a time in the bar with the post number?...huh?!? :confused:

[Athena]

oh - you mean over on the right hand side? Mine shows how many minutes ago the post was, not an actual time.

[theague]

I'll go check - It's Yellow Tail Merlot. It has a roo on the bottle. :) It's nice.

you are? when? :)

same here. I was quite the fish in university and now I think the term is "cheap date". :lol:


I like Yellow Tail. Shiraz and Merlot are both good.

Athena is the Greek Goddess of Wisdom and Craftsmanship. So anytime we call you Athena.. get it?

You could call me a cheap date too, but for different reasons. :lol:

[short5]

oh - you mean over on the right hand side? Mine shows how many minutes ago the post was, not an actual time.

Mine used to say how many minutes it has been since the post was posted and the time. My Time is gone. I will look in my settings.

[short5]

Gone, just gone. What time is it?

[short5]

I have it... has yours gone missing?

I"m outta here. Play safe.
Why do YOU have it?

How was the opera Jo?

[jothefish]

Opera was fabulous... Nabucco...outside... gentle breeze... My first outdoor opera...much easier to watch then inside an opera huse... took my son along... he spent most of the time playing brickbreaker on my blackberry looking up when the music got load or here way an explosion or lots of fire!
Made him concentrate on the slave chorus though... stunning - bought tears to my eyes.

Sounds like a lot of fun. Wife and I saw Phantom while we were in London last month. It was her first time seeing it, my 3rd. I'd like to branch out more though and see something different next time.

[theague]

Well all, work day is coming to an end. I sincerely hope everyone enjoys their evening. I most likely will not be back online until tomorrow.

Peas Audi!

[jothefish]

Yeah - we don't get an awful lot down in the bananas either...

take a risk... see something new :):)

And with that - I am off to beddies bies as well.... nighty night... *as the curtain drops - to thunderous applause* (hey, I'm in a theatrical mood...)

[cylentka]

I've gone 135 before in my own car. I was alone on a deserted straight stretch of highway. it was QUITE fun. The car was smooth as can be. I'll never do it again though.

:shock:


I once was pulled over for speeding on the I-5 in Northern California. I think I was doing about 65 or so (this was in 1981, when the federal speed limit was still 55). If the cop had found me just ten minutes earlier, I would have spent some time in jail. Just before he nailed me, I had decided to open my Mustang up and see what it could do. I have no idea how fast I was going since the speedometer topped out at 120, but I'm guessing I had that thing up to about 150 or 160...
:shock: :shock:

I'd rather have one of my omelets over pancakes any day!

I also prefer omelets! With everything but the kitchen sink in 'em.



Lets not talk driving records. I stole two different neighbors cars before I was 16 and damaged them both so my parents would not sign for me to get a license when I was 16.

Hi, G'MAE, greetings, salutations, etc.

Looks like you guys have really been putting that new server through its paces. Made for some interesting and voluminous post-work reading. Probably won't be on this evening, but in the speed and blur of this thread, you won't have time to notice!! Have a good time, mates... see youse later.

[Miniflash]

okay then am I here alone ?

[wakko]

morning! :D!

[thomascanty]

I saw that for the first time today. Wonder if it's an option that's been enabled on the new server?

Nope. The Buddy List option has been around for years. That ain't nothin' new.

Gaaa! not a mustang II??? I seriously doubt you hit 160 but I imagine you were flying if you pegged the speedo.

I don't think it was a Mustang II. That definitely doesn't sound familiar to me. And, I did more than just peg the speedo. The needle went right past 120 and all the way back up to 20 again.

Mine used to say how many minutes it has been since the post was posted and the time. My Time is gone. I will look in my settings.

I doubt Cat can really see the time. That isn't a setting you can control. It's something Pekka has to set in the forum configuration.

I've seen it in London too - stunning, isn't it? :D

I guess you're quite the woman if you live up to your namesake...

I actually liked the special affects better the two times I saw it in Seattle. =/ I think the singing/acting was better in London though.

It is the thought that counts thanks:) How did the calibration go?

[Athena]

Went fine - the laptop monitor was pretty darn close to spot on. The desktop monitor in Thailand should be intereting though. I won't see that one again till October tho...

[thomascanty]

Speaking of desktop monitors... The blue tint in the lower left corner on this one moved to the lower right corner for a while yesterday. Now the tint is gone, but the display is starting get slightly crooked. It's tilting to the left now. I've never seen a monitor die quite like this before...

[Athena]

reminds me of the bad things you can do to a monitor with a magnet. You don't have something with a magnet in it on your desk near your monitor, do you?

[thomascanty]

Nope. I haven't placed anything new near the monitor that hasn't been there for two or three years. It's pretty strange...

Thats ignorant Maxy

[Maxed Out]

Thats ignorant Maxy

hows that ignorant.....they are very poison-ess and there were kids around.....cotton mouths are very territorial so it was a safety thing.....I would have left them alone if they were not near the dock.....anyway thats my rant:D

[thomascanty]

Oh, now that's just sad. You killed them just because they were snakes?

I can't comment any further without using language that would make Puddles blush...

Many many moons ago at work when green screen terminals ruled the landscape, we had one user whose terminal was dying. He called us on Friday, about 20 minutes before we closed up shop for the weekend. The horizontal control for the terminal was going out and about the first 5 or 6 characters were skewed waay to the left and they weren't displaying.

The tech who took the call managed to convince the user that there was something amiss with the phosphors in the screen, and that was causing the letters to bunch up on that side of the screen.

"Oh, you mean like a level?" said the user. "Yes, exactly. What I need you to do is turn the terminal off and tip it onto its left side for a few minutes."
The user does this and reports that it seemed to have helped.

"Well then, I'll need you to elevate the left side side of the monitor. By Monday the phosphors ought to have sunk back down and it should be fixed."

Come Monday, the user had a 2-inch stack of paper towels under the monitor to help the phosphors slide back downhill.

The tech did replace the terminal mid-morning after configuring a new one.

i killed them because they were too close to everybody

More like everybody was too close to them...

It really sucks how we're encroaching on so many animal's habitats, and they're the ones who have to die because of that...

its not my fault that they live there...i was only helping my uncle

[Maxed Out]

if it makes anyone feel any better i didnt kill them, i caught them and then my uncle did the rest...

[short5]

Your motives were noble Maxy and I am not opposed to lethal wildlife management. My blunt point was the general fear and misinformation about "dangerous" animals is is just that, misinformation. Cottonmouths are "aggressive" snakes but in general are obvious of their intentions they don't stalk people. How many people were bit let alone died from moccasins in the last year? I bet they were all trying to catch and kill them. Don't get me wrong I just think next time you could shoo them away with a stick and teach the little ones of their importance in the eco system as well as their danger.

(Writing note to self... Pick up paper towels in the morning...)

That sounds like how I would have replied if I'd gotten a similar call at work. Fortunately for everyone there, I haven't seen this weird little phenomenon happen before... :lol:

[thomascanty]

Don't worry. I'm not attacking you... Like Zane said, there was a little overreacting going on there.

Ashley and I have encountered many rattlesnakes on our treks. There's no need to kill them, or even try to capture/move them. Just back off and let them go their way. They don't want to harm you. ;)

Good, as long as you know you place. Fantastic bovine shooting opportunity. Get behind the chutes
where they keep the bulls for good shots sometimes
