FANTOMATIK: Mystery Twins

Thanks, Jet!

I tried each one for a couple minutes and decided I'd start with a full listen to the more familiar "Prairie Home Companion" since I have enjoyed those many times, and I don't recall this specific Xmas piece. I'll try the other two ...hey, twins!!! tomorrow when I'm better rested.

in case no one mentioned it, the size limit for TFP attachments across the board is set at 100 kilobytes(Kb).
I also learned just 5 weeks ago what the "paperclip button" did, and what would happen if you press it twice (no box).

but, there are alternative outside site help that allows hotlinked images, such as:

imageshack.us
photobucket.com
tinypic.com
(I think all three of the above are one coroporation)
yayeveryday.com
visualize.us
tumblr.com
livejournal (I have no idea how it works though)
google blogs / picasa
flickr.com

..and, I think that's it. (it took me 3+ years to figure out the intracies of maintaining my megali-voluminous photo collection for longevity's sake. My archive grows by an average of 65+ photos each waking day, and I still have hundreds of unclicked websites, forum posts, and blog articles I have yet to transpose for easier conveyance and sharing purposes. I shouldn't have started all those threads. I'm stretched too thin.

or just get your own server and stream from there!

not sure yet if it's the longest

Nice eclectic mix on that site.

cool...I like Chateau..s? what's the plural? >>>> i couldn't leave it alone: châteaux

you mean chapeau? (plural: chapooses)

I didn't really find the site that intriguing ('swhy I didn't add it to my enormous repetoire of links and bookmarks)

oh, before I forget.. (this may a phrase I've become wholly too reliant on, therefore, becoming overused).

Truth is, I entirely forgot, and it wasn't until the point that I actually reminded myself, accidently, mind you, that this post came into fruition. So...

Query for BadNick (and ring, too, possibly):
Have you noticed that if you are organizing your photobucket account, (assuming you've done this at all) and you move a few photos into a newly-created folder to better simplify and "tag" things appropriately, does their previous appearances elsewhere shared (ie image links) disappear?

Jet, I hope this forgetfullness bodes well for your future memory. Since your pattern is about the opposite of what I went through from when I was your age until now...that's many many years...perhaps you'll grow older with a great memory. I went from a good memory to a selective memory and now adays it sometimes seems I can't select when to remember what or if I even ever knew what I was supposed to remember.

Also Jet, you hit a raw nerve in my photo organization plans that pisses me off ever since I discovered it!!!! YES! the stupid photobucket setup will totally lose previous links to the image if you change the folder it's in for whatever reason...and as you mentioned, getting more organized is a good reason someone might want to reorganize folders as they grow and accumulate various ideas, concepts, trash. So how stupid is that?....pretty stupid since even the most rudimentary file manager will maintain links to file locations.

The other possibility is that photobucket actually has a way to maintain such linkage and we just don't know about it yet. If I don't forget I'll look into this later.

PS: for better or worse (like marriage, huh?) I just thought of a potential partial organizational option. When you move a pic to a new folder to better organize it, also keep the original pic and its name and location as is, and just copy another copy of it into the new folder. But this uses up storage space on photobucket, and space is money...I already ran out of free storage and upgraded to a paid Pro account so now I have unlimited space of which I've only used 593 MB and my account bandwidth used is 2.3 GB...for about the last five minutes I've been looking at my various pb stats in different ways they have available, interesting. In case you want another something notably forgettable, check this out:

Both of these reflect my pb account stats at this moment, the top one includes another car forum I frequent while the bottom one excludes it

Hows the comparo betwixt Longest and that other thread going?

Zook, it looks like we're now at a 1294 post deficit. I'm impressed that number is consistently going down!

Nick:
Thanks for the detailed response. I've had my photobucket account for nearing three years now, but I've delayed my uploading influx of photos within my portfolio because I never wanted to become popular enough to have to buy more bandwidth or storage space. It's held steadily under ~50MB for a while now, but the one caveat to not using it as much is that I've recently learned if you do not use your account for a period of 90 days or more, it will automatically be deleted. That's a right bummer, and it doesn't get any better because flickr has the same policy.

But, if you'd like to know, I used to use the TinyPic service a while ago whenever I had a small and forgettable enough photo file that I had wanted to hotlink for optimal viewing ease. I looked back into it just recently, and decided, 'what the hey, let's get organized', and signed up for an account. The website seems to be a subsidiary of the Photobucket people, so no lewd or crude uploads are allowed, but from what I gather in my daily 5-minutes of usage, it seems to have no cap whatsoever in terms of bandwidth or storage at the moment. Of course, that is subject to change if it becomes increasingly popular enough to warrant an addendum to their policies, though seeing how it's unlimited, I'll try to use it to its fullest capacity, as allowed.

The reason why I mention it is not because I think it is superior to photbucket; (I think they're virtually the same entity and offer the same service, but maybe to two different segments of the internet population) it's because I'm using it to better organize my photos in folders, finally, seeing as I can't move any of the ones in my other account without creating holes and voids randomly throughout my participation here.

I guess I just wanted to tell you that I'll be leaving my photobucket without folders for the time being (it only has around 7 pages worth of image files), while my new tinypic account will bear most of the brunt of my topic-worthy pictures, by classifying them into 8 different folders I have at the moment, ranging from an 'animals only' folder, to a 'Santa suit' only folder. The possibilities are endless.


Zooks:
I don't have the chart-making skills I once used to possess, nor the free time to outlay (still not sure if I made this word up) the key dates of progression.

Right now: The Longest Thread Ever! = 20736

That other stupid thread, which is still very a stupid, yet popular, obstacle toward our ultimate goal: WA = 22029

We're within bow-and-arrow distance now. Also, we have a good incentive to pick up the pace as our three-year anniversary is this week, on the 10th. We need to expand exponentially to the tune of about 435+ posts per day in order to catch up.

okay
one more for the pile.

I have 50 pages of photobucket images(no folders)
Just lots of notes on various scraps of paper. (junk-mail...etc.)

I have way too many images that have yet to be shared, or even looked at twice by me, it's not even remotely chuckle-worthy.

I'm looking to find a better service than photobucket (funny stolen image-hosting) or flickr (original hand-camera taken image-hosting) to better appease my perfectionist ways of stating who and where the author of said image can be located.

Tumblr kind of presents an easy-solution to blogging, but it is a pain in that patoot to navigate through page after page of only 10 images, and searching is virtually outlawed in it's service as no one even tries to tag their uploads with "umbrella" or "Marisa Miller" or "blowing bubbles". Give me a description so I can find it again, at least!

I'll add another quick one.

Jet, thanks for the photo tips. I have seen a lot of tinypics around so I'll investigate further. To get over the lewd and rude barrier, or what pb's interpretation of that might be, I also have a flikr account which seems to allow "anything goes" as long as you mark it "private". I have this pic in flikr but it would be deleted by photobucket

...pic removed to avoid moderator wrath

Yeah, I kind of instituted on myself (and, iherently-unspoken onto you guys as well, sorry) a "no nudity clause" in the Longest Thread Ever.

Not that I don't dig on it, but it's just I'm fearful that one day a random modulator moderating things in check will open up the thread and say, "well, there's at least one instance of tits in here; there's bound to be more!" and swiftly smacks on the title of the thread an unsightly [NSFW] tag.

That fear alone keeps my fervent detail to share the [hide] tags alive.

ahh, good point. I will comply with that.

When I don't see my name as the last poster in this thread, I'm attracted like a moth to a flame.

I wonder, I wonder.. what to do, do, do?

It seems I have forgotten one of the loveliest sirens I happened to afix my eyes towards just the other day: she was on the TV, and I now have got basic cable again after moving back stateside, and ... I forgot to write her name down. (maybe she didn't have a name that I was aware of?)

I keep alot of thoughts and backlogs in my head because for some odd reason, I think spacing out my sharing, as if it were serendipitous timing, will attract more followers. It hasn't worked so far.

Morning has broken...

I know the numbers... I just wanted to see a graph.....

Fine, then, how about a pic of one, then.... then:

Nothing better than a graph. Fun and easy at the same time.

Among many interesting ones, I always liked that classic one of Napoleon's invasion of Russia:

"...one of the all-time classics of information graphics. It’s exceedingly complex, with six different variables, but maintains a relatively simple look and interpretation. Étienne-Jules Marey once said this of the graph, “[it] defies the pen of the historian in its brutal eloquence.” The graph was created by Charles Joseph Minard to show Napoleon’s invasion of, and retreat from, Russia. The width of the bar shows the number of troops under Napoleon’s command. when he first crosses the River Niemen, Napoleon has 422,000 troops. By the time he reaches Moscow, he has only 100,000. Then, he loses another 90% of his men on the trek back to the River Niemen. He finishes with just 10,000 men. Minard’s graph also shows temperature, location, direction of travel, and distance traveled."

probably a post done by myself a long time ago, but:

Yay Hooray | Infopornographic! Datagraphic! Diagramatic!!

I'll bite.... Whats wrong with a NSFW tag?

Zook....it doesn't mean "New South Fuckin' Wales"

sex and porn seems to "sell" ...maybe the NSFW tag would attract many new eyes/posts and we'd zoom ahead of that stupid "word" thread with the Power of Sex!!!!

I am so sick of wearing spectacles.
I have had 20/20 vision until about 3 years ago, then things were getting more and more blurry, so I went and had an eye test, and got the nesessary glasses, but everything is still blurry.
I really feel for those who have to wear glasses all the time.

SUX ! !

rip out your eyes and get electronic ones put in. WIN!

Believe me, I have considered it!

nice ute

we call them El Camino in the U.S.

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...rolet-arch.jpg

'59 was a stylin' year for El Camino.

The later models...68? sure were ugly.

What's that yellow car behind?
It almost looks like a Jag.

It's going to bug me for the longest time if we can't idenify that yellow car. I checked Jag's and I don't think it's a Jag...seems like different proportions and trim details. On a whim I also checked VW Bugs, but those are quite different. I think there's a better than even chance that it's an old American car, to fit in with others cars in the pic. I looked at early to mid 50's Chevy's and haven't found any with those design details.

actually, I was staying with the orange theme.... but,
I posted a pic of a VAN. You see a ute?

( I owned a 74 Elky )

.

El camino, the drug dealers choice.

Isn't the Holden in the upper pic a "ute". I thought ute's were basically like the El Camino design. So to me that Holden looks like it was a ute, now it's a ute conversion, enclosed and interior finished, etc.

flute!

Now I see...

That is the Sandman van.

A retro version of our original Sandmans.
May have worked, too, if Holden didn't get so gay with the decals.
The van certainly does look like a ute with a canopy on it, but it was a van. I did actually see one of the first ones sold, up close.
The roof was indeed a plastic add-on, though "permanently" affixed to the lower section.

Quite ugly, in my opinion.

mine, too...so that's two...whoa, too two! I'm so two'd out...on Tuesday.

...it's still Tuesday. Too Tuesday, too.

That yellow car. Might it be a Saab, circa 1960?
The front looks long enough.

Hi Ho, Hi Ho....

fuck you guys suck. I post a video and I get no reply. :(

baritone bamboo flute? ...I love the sound of flute and that low one was unusual...and about the longest flute I've seen, too. ...damn too's, too many to two too's recently.

ring, I'm still exploring the Saab theory but the ones I've found so far don't have that chrome/polished trim around the side windows and down the center .

why did you think it was yellow? clearly orange. tastily orange.

my thoughts: it's a truck. Saab doesn't make trucks (unless you count 6+ wheelers).
Also, it could be a modified European wagon, a la a Porsche or an Audi. I know those rims anywhere, and they definitely state something strong in favor of a power Euro racewagon.

Well, Sooorrrryyyy!!! I post lots of shit that gets no response.

In regards to that there yellow/orange car yous all been talking about... WHAT BLOODY CAR??????????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I see:

A black 59 Elky. and a couple rooflines behind, yet jet reckons he'd recognise dem wheels anywheres. What F%&#ing wheels?

Or am I not seeing a pic, because of some reason?:confused::confused:


You blokes are doin' my head in.... :paranoid::paranoid::paranoid:

The song "You done my brain in" starts at 2:56.

Since your eyesight is seemingly diminishing, my sincere best wishes for your other important bits that are sure to go next :no:

I think Jetman is referring to that T-Shirt Garage Sandman orange car. The car ring and I are talking about is that partially visible yellow car behind the '59 Elky.

Yeah, that coy yellow car is layin' low.

Who posted the yellow car again?

Post #20776 by Nick:

The flashy black batman looking El Camino is in front.

The shy yellow vehicle behind the flashy black-winged batman car, is peeking out.

First time seeing that post; looking at it, the automobile kinda seems faded key-lime pie green, like the kind of color you'd find in a yogurt cup.

well I don't think he is....
The Holden Sandman, early model, 1974 to about 1978 used 14x6 Rallye wheel, same as on some Pontiacs.

Jetee! Please advise :)
