You don't need to go into the "Your Account" link. You can just click the "Add your photo" image in your sig. Or you can to go to your Profile page (by clicking your username in your signature) and click the "Edit my listing" under the Peer Directory heading.

Guess I should have explained the steps a bit better.

I have been waiting nearly three or four minutes now and there's no pic!

I know you said it may take some time, but hey FOUR minutes in an internet age??

We aren't THAT patient anymore! :D

Everyone creates some off the wall mental picture when they talk on the phone or email each other.

It is usually so far from the real picture that it isn't funny. What's wierd though, perhaps due to my communications experience is that I had you pegged bang on. I always thought my mental pictre would be off !

Just having fun of course!
OM

What can you say to that photo?

Just how recent is it?

Col :D

the new pic of the eagle is from The North Island Wildlife Recovery center. :)

The idea was to have these images be completely user-hosted.

Part of it was for speed (and simplicity) of implementation and part of it was to avoid any "Imperial entanglements" that could arise from obscene or copyrighted materials being hosted by us.

I have my self-hosted photo plastered on about 10 sites and it doesn't even make a dent in my bandwidth. However, I'm not posting hundred of times a day either :)

.
I have no idea who's hosting the photo I used. I found it with a google search of images with the key words "monkey glasses".

My teenage son found it one day, and said there was a striking resemblance. So what the heck.

MAybe I should use some of the other google searches he's tried? ......No, I won't do that......and yes, he and I had a long talk about that one.

Yeah I know it's pretty sad. Not my website though.

I just use it for FTP of demo's and stuff though so I didn't want to use it here. No that's not my website, my site/domain sits on a business server in Vavcouver. That was a freebee I've never bothered to setup a page on in Shaw,I use it for sharing page layouts, testing graphics on the web, and a quick file transer every now and then. HEY! it's Unix based too! LOL :D

Think I'll just open some free BS account on tripod or something, see if that works.

Thanks for making a point, now look into the little flashy light thingy for a minute.

I thought that perhaps if using some free hosted site, the user would start getting banners and crap as the imageis loading from an ad hosted site.

Wouldn't want to be hung for hammering people with adware or something.

I could always host it on a client site, be good for a laugh though! LOL

P.S. I certainly feel sorry for the tub full of little nude kids that may one day realize you shared this moment in public. :D

I would do my parents in for that when I got older!

I'm was a little bit concerned about using our server. Thanks for the info... I'll deal with it later.

Chris :)

Top right corner of the page and position is noted under your name. UNless the links are dead?

Perhaps it was being updated.

I would double check your pic URL, it has a double folder entry with the same name, maybe a typo that broke it?

But it seems to be fine today.

Chris :)

That was way below the belt Colin! :)

Yeah managers are glorified roadies, roadies and managers are the ones who do all the work though.

Actually, I only manage locally now, I book local bands for a few clubs in Van and work with a local promotion company to set up events and stuff. It's a par titme gig nowdays.

If I get a band into Europe that's when it is pretty much turned over in most cases to the label and I am just a residual name on a contract for promotions/distribution etc. Except in two cases where personal friendship to the members keeps me a little more hand-on with their productions.

glorified roadie...! Man, the crap I take from you guys! Low blow!

In my early 20's I did roadie for a fairly long tour where I met many contacts I still have now, THAT was work!! Man, I've done some hard/physical jobs but those guys work like a machine.

...that everyone here actually read the post anyways. :)

I know that I did. I couldn't help but wonder if there was more to it.

Chris

But when it is you'll see.

I'll probably have to host the JPG on a US site as for some reason it doesn't seem to like picking things up from my AU site.

but if you want to see my avatar check this out

Must be a teething glitch.

Well now it's working so you can see for your self. This is what happens when you work IT for too long!

I will admit that my "funny side" is often missed by a lot of people around here. A case in point would be my message outlining what "Jesus would drive" that was posted in another thread. That was a message in which I intended to be funny/clever, not even comment on the premise of the discussion, but someone didn't see it and started dissecting what I said. (And I even had the funky monkey with glasses at the time.)

However, I don't necessarily think it's me. I think it's them. People will read into something with some preconceived notions, and take out of it what they want. Or some people might ignore the true intent, even though it might be rather obvious, and intentionally deflect it to fit their own purpose. Or I might attempt humor that may be above some people's capacity to understand. I don't say that in an aloof sort of way, but using that same message as an example, it would, I suppose, require an understanding of word meanings that many people don't have. Some people have no idea about "The Phoenix" or what "Caprice" or "Corvette" really mean. If they don't know that, they'll miss the humor entirely.

Well, if that's the case, play to the audience, you might say. But considering this context, the audience literally covers all spectrums -- from the extremely intelligent to those who appear to be as dumb as dirt. From those with a wide grasp of the English language to someone who barely understands it. From a person who is extremely open minded and generally gives the benefit-of-the-doubt to someone who is so narrow minded that he could see through a keyhole with both eyes. And then if you throw in the fact that the "written word" is quite different from a personal delivery, without the advantage of tone and voice inflections, misunderstandings are inevitable.

Quite frankly, I think I'm one of the funniest guys around here. But like I said, it's hard to fly like an Eagle when you're cooped up with a bunch of turkeys. And you can take that however your "preconceived" notions dictate, unless, of course, you don't have any. In which case, I think you probably get it. But even in that message, I'm amazed thus far at some of the comments that show how many people just don't get it.

.
I'm glad you're around to keep an eye on things like that.

Go figure, huh?

You guys should emphasize or market it once in a while! I never noticed a tagline.

Sorry now i se it in your logo, "Real world, Real time..."

You should put some emphasis into it though.

A spelling mistake. I can't believe this... you'll never live this one down. :)

Actually, it is only a missing a word, unless of course it is some type of archaic English writing style.

I haven't tried a PNG, but I know that the compression ratio is pretty good. How are they compared to GIFs? GIFs are light-weight as it is.

...for security reasons, so someone couldn't host a path to an executable. But I'll look into getting PNG files cleared for use. Those are pretty harmless.
