Easier, and more control over size. Try posting your owl picture in a web
page, and then compare it to your post in abpso. I'll bet you'll see a big

One of the nicknames I've been burdened with during my lifetime. There's
worse. The assistant city editor at the Kansas City Star called me "Moose"
because he was a reconstituted sports editor and of course remembered Ed
"Moose" Krause, the ND bb player. But he outdid himself with a redheaded
Irish gal at the paper, whom he called "Scarlett O'Speece."

Nothing wrong with Hank. Seemed strange at first, as we all know you as
Harry.

With the given name of "Richard" and it's most common associated nickname of
"Dick", I am all too familiar with the burden of nicknames. Never really
bothered me though. It's hard to insult me as I have heard them all.

My web photo site allows me to size photos about any way I want. Posted
photos should be kept small; they're for display on computer screens.

I think both have their place. Personally, since I have broadband, I prefer
to view a hi-res version of a photo. My viewer automatically scales the
photo to my screen size, but if I want to zoom in on an area, the extra
resolution can be a big help. As an example, I was viewing Eisboch's lovely
winter photo. I was curious about the vehicle parked on the side of the
house and tried zooming in tight on it to get a better look at it. The
image quickly became pixelated, and I wasn't able to glean much detail. Had
it been posted in its native resolution, I would have been able to get much
more detail when zooming. Also,I appreciate being able to look at the EXIF
data of a photo to get a feel for how it was shot.

On the other hand, a photo site is a great place to view someone's photo
albums or portfolio. Most sites allow a portfolio to broken down into sub
sections that can be organized by subject matter, or whatever the owner
chooses. I've been thinking about signing up on such a site, but don't have
a clue as to how to choose one over another. There's no shortage of them,
that's for sure. Any recommendations for a good site to join to post a
portfolio of photos?

Thanks for the "lovely" winter photo comment, but one small correction.
That ain't a house. That's Mrs.E's horse barn. The picture was taken from
the house.

When we bought this place I drooled over the barn and had all kinds of plans
for custom woodworking workshops and places to keep my "stuff". Fat chance.
Two 1000 lb pets moved in and I am not allowed in there.

I should have known. Silly me. Obviously the only way for you to save
face in this situation is to build a massive state of the art structure to
house your vehicles and suitable environment for your shop projects. Enough
power tools to cause a brownout. And pneumatic lifts, of course. Wouldn't
want to flat spot the tires on the M5, would we?

I like photobucket. It's not expensive, there's real help if you need
it, and the owners are always adding more features. Max pix size for a
paid user is, I believe, 1024kb. That's enough for the snapshots I
choose to post. I don't "give away" my work stuff.

Harry, do you have to reduce the size, or does photobucket do it for you?

The site offers the ability to reduce photo size several different ways
and, of course, I can do it myself before I upload them.

Looks like 512kb is the max size without paying, and 1mb with payment. If I
have to reduce the size, I may as well use abpso. There I can go up to
1.5mb and it's free!

Interesting.
We saw some of that in cell phones in the late 1990s when stand-by

Geez, most modern film cameras rely on batteries for metering, flash, film
advance/rewind, focus and God knows what else. Perhaps people who go to the
places you are referring to should learn to draw really, really well and
take lots of pencils with them.

Or cameras that don't do all those things electrically. If you limit
yourself to metering even small batteries will last quite some time.

Your comment was not misunderstood, Richard. I received it just as you

risks of communicating through typed text, I suppose. My reply was
offered in the same humorous spirit as yours. I've always enjoyed your
tales of Mrs. E. She's always sounded like a real hoot to me.

My point was, given your banishment from the barn, I would personally
be seriously tempted to break ground on my own barn to hold my own
"horses" (the SuperDuty, The General, the M5, and any others that might
come along). Only seems fair to me. And if the money, space, and
inclination was there, you can bet that it would be just as I
described. And that includes the pneumatic lifts. No sense in letting
those tires.get flat spotted. I probably watch too much of the Speed
Channel.

Sorry for any misunderstanding.

Obviously the misunderstanding was on my part. Lot's of mental activity the

Take lots of pictures of the opposite wall while sitting there. Have a few
things around at different distances. Try a bunch of different settings.
Take notes.

Good luck!

I really don't "get" posting photos in usenet, when it is so much easier
to simply upload what you want to a photo website, and include a URL when
you want to reference that photo, as in:

One of the nicknames I've been burdened with during my lifetime. There's
worse. The assistant city editor at the Kansas City Star called me
"Moose" because he was a reconstituted sports editor and of course
remembered Ed "Moose" Krause, the ND bb player. But he outdid himself
with a redheaded Irish gal at the paper, whom he called "Scarlett O'Speece."
were you aware that there was a harry krause who played pro baseball
in the early days of the pro sport?
That was me...I'm older than dirt.

Yes, I was.

I was named for an uncle I never met, my mother's brother, who died
before I was born in WW II.
was that the same harry krause?
The same one for whom I was named? :}

That particular Harry, my mother's brother, had a different last name,
silly.

well, you never know - i mean like maybe your mother was one of the
maternal linage types - after all, you did live in new haven - home of
yale and ...

never mind. :)


My mother was a Bostonian. My parents ended up in New Haven because at
the time they moved there, my father was working for his uncle, who
hired him as his Connecticut district manager for the family's little
retail chain.

I was "conceived" in Atlantic City, though. The house my parents rented
for a vacation in 1943 is still there, but, sadly, there is no plaque
commemorating my conception. :}

That reminds me of a story.

While in Officer Candidate School, we were kept on post for about three
months. Finally the time came when we could get a weekend pass, but our Tac
Officer required that we put our request in writing, with reasons.

I wrote that my wife and I were planning to have a baby, and I wanted to be
there for the conception.

I got out.

No. Not that time.

if you want, ill be glad to help with the post processing if you
install paint shop pro x.


I'll take you up on that offer. I still haven't installed it ... it's
sitting here in the box.

Right now I am consumed by transferring the VHS tapes of our voyage to
Florida to DVD. I "think" I did it. So far, so good.

This is a good time to experiment with this stuff. Mrs. E is off in Norfolk
goggling the new granddaughter. Me? I am stuck with taking care of her
dogs, plus my juvenile delinquent, Sam Adams.

what kind of dogs?

She has two.. (count 'em, two) Westies (West Highland White Terrier).
Cute little suckers, but too smart for their own good.

Then, about a year ago she decided I *needed* my own dog. So, I ended up
with Sam Adams. He's a black Lab -- going on 10 months - 90 lbs and a
complete juvenile delinquent. No class at all. He burbs, farts, snores
and basically does anything he wants except listen to me.

sounds like he needs to go to doggie boot camp. ill be glad to put
him through doggie boot camp for you no charge.

Tom, if you can teach him not to burb, fart and snore, then Mrs.E. will pay
you double to send me to your school.


although, for a guy dog, burping, farting and snoring just comes with
the terrority.

Yep. He thinks he's just "one of the guys". I have to admit though, he's
really a cool dog.


i can do something about the listening to you part though. :)

Last night he really ****ed me off. It was the first time I forgot about
the "positive reinforcement concept and just let him have it. He decided
that outdoors was cool at 11pm and would not come into the house when called
for anything. By the time I got my shoes and jacket on I think he was
reconsidering. Right now he's laying by my feet as if nothing ever
happened.

Looks like 512kb is the max size without paying, and 1mb with payment. If
I
have to reduce the size, I may as well use abpso. There I can go up to
1.5mb and it's free!
--

But keep in mind that anything posted to abpso is temporary. My news server
is showing the oldest post as 1/4. Anything posted to a photo site is
permanent until you delete it.

BTW, when I'm at the office, I don't have access to my (Cox's) news server,
so I'm forced to access Usenet via Google Groups. Abpso isn't available on
Google Groups. Any idea how abpso can be accessed from the web?

My server still carries posts back to 12/27, which was about the time Wayne
(I think) discovered the empty site. There had been nothing on it before
then that I could find, either text or binary.

As to the access problem, I've no idea. There's lots of smart folks here.
Maybe they'll help.

He used digital cameras and a lightweight computer system. Wonder how he
did all that!

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I must dig out that old issue of National
Geographic's Mag. to see if he wrote any on that.
