Hey skillful post, I really enjoyed it, in particular concerning the second comment that you finished. The only thing I have to point out to you would be viewing the web site through the Konquerer browser… for several reason it does not seem to load the website with the sidebar seems to break – might want to check that out!

Comment on AviSynth – A King of Apps by Scott Jex

Scott Jex — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 21:56:36 +0000

AVISynth is totall awesome. It is one of the most powerful tools I have ever used because it is so flexible. I have however run into a dead end. I have not been able to find a way to import an Omneon .mxf file into AviSynth. If anyone knows please let me know. So I would say that AVISynth is a great tool but it shouldn’t be your only tool.

How much work you want to do? Never mind I know that answer DAVE! But maybe the hottie that puts up with ya might want to give it a shot?

I say paint, you do have transitional pulls. The plant for one, but it won’t always be there. What you think about two toning the pillar? Vertical strips with an third transition color or even the same two colors but thiner dark strips.

You might also think about the good old sponge dable, but I would also think about 3 color dabs.

The good news is my yahoo search ranked Dave Wolf top 2 hits. The Bad news is both links were redirected. The top “click to go” redirected me, but the link url on the bottem was correct, so all I had to do was cut/paste.

“Folks we are experiencing a little turbulence, sorry for the trouble. Thank-you for flying Howling Wolf Airlines. We look to serve all of your flying needs in the near future.” The landing was kick ass. I dosed off and for a moment thought I was on the flight. The video does the deal justice. Keep posting them, very good stuff.

Nice.

Comment on Site Search Ranking by The Kid

The Kid — Fri, 17 Aug 2007 16:53:50 +0000

Well, since Feb. 2007 and mainly the last two months I’ve gone from the 1st link on the 1st page of Google to somewhere on page 21 on the index. Nice! I looked into what changed the site that might have caused this. . . Well, turning on comments in the photo gallery was NOT a good idea. NOT! After being spammed with ~21,000 messages, the site go so saturated that I think Google killed my ranking. So, after all the hard work to get a good page rank, here I am, back at the beginning. Oh well. . . I’m going to have to go to work again and see what I can do to correct the problem.

But, a note for you out there using older versions of Coppermine. DON’T ENABLE comments unless you have some verification method (image verification) or something enabled. The spammers will CRUSH YOU!!

Comment on If You Can’t Beat ‘Em, Flickr by The Kid

The Kid — Sun, 12 Aug 2007 18:49:18 +0000

See. . . Wasn’t such a bad idea. I’ve already gotten 12 comments since I started uploading my albums today — some good, some bad. But, they’re comments, nonetheless. So, I guess Flickr is already doing what I’ve always wanted my gallery to have done — provide me feedback (good or bad) so I can improve my photography.

Nice. I likey.

Cusimano right? I’m happy you were able to reunite with our beautiful Great Lake, she is mighty and strong, and when she puts her mind to it she will put you in your place. I would adore a lazy day of fishin’ in Savannah…keep the last two weekends in September open! What I really want to know is, did the fish taste as good as it looks?

Thank you Dave, as your stories are fueled with information, imagination and inspiration, combined with beautiful photographs that take me away and help me remember what is important! Keep’em coming!

Mike Long — Wed, 06 Jun 2007 09:56:42 +0000

Thanks man, it works great. I have it running on my site (vdsl2.se). Nice one.

@tom
It might work (haven’t tried this myself) if you make a copy of the one you got (SlashdotHeadlines.php) and change the name (of the php file) to something apropriate. Then open it and change:

on line 4
“Plugin Name: Slashdot.org Headlines” to e.g. “Plugin Name: Google Headlines”
on line 24
“function SlashdotHeadlines” to e.g. “function GoogleHeadlines”

And of course change the feed url.

Then upload and install/activate it.
and to call that new scripts function on your site use… instead of “SlashdotHeadlines(5)” use “GoogleHeadlines(5)”.

Cheers,
Mike

Comment on To Paint or Not To Paint… by the painter

the painter — Tue, 28 Nov 2006 21:21:58 +0000

corner bead = yawner feed The color is great, dark is almost always better and it gives the foyer a voice. Plus it seems you get more visual stimulation from the seating area. You can go totally off the wall and paint your ceiling a different color. The fifth wall gets no respect.

Comment on To Paint or Not To Paint… by babsy

babsy — Wed, 22 Nov 2006 14:57:30 +0000

so your experiment has left me sitting here on vacation in my own hovel wondering if I too should be making a run to Lowe’s to paint that wall over there that doesn’t look quite right. I am certain I could keep this up until sunday. but back to your dilemma, the color looks great. I wouldn’t have thought that ending the new color on a corner would be so controversial! I say leave it.

Comment on To Paint or Not To Paint… by fattkidd

fattkidd — Mon, 20 Nov 2006 16:44:23 +0000

I agree. I like the color and the look of it but, you need something to transition it from wall to wall, color to color. They have nice corner beads now that almost look like they’re carved and stuff. That’s my suggestion… decorative corner beads on the two corners… full height. pre-paint them and use tiny finish nails and you won’t even need to caulk, etc.

Comment on To Paint or Not To Paint… by thebat

thebat — Mon, 20 Nov 2006 16:24:45 +0000

Something about the changing colors without a physical border (corners don’t count) disturbs me. Say there was some vertical strip (like molding although I don’t think molding would work in this case) that separated the foyer so that the paint ended there.

I think I’d like it better after I got used to it. We have something like this in our house. Didn’t care for it at first but after a time I got used to it.

I heard the owner quit staying there because as he got older, the sound of the water rushing through the house made him have to pee a lot at night and thus, he didn’t get much sleep there.

It’s so easy to get into a circular state of mind where you are focusing on your own little world so much that it takes a nice little visual suprise, like this home, to shake you out of your mental routines.

Thanks for continuing to share the things that inspire you.

Ed was cool as hell and was always able to conduct his interviews in a way that seemed less tabliod-ish. Like the one he did with Aretha and Lena Horn…those were classics.

Comment on 60 Minutes – An American Institution by Wade

Wade — Fri, 10 Nov 2006 16:34:52 +0000

So true brother. It is the pinacle of all news/stories. Ed Bradley along with Mike Wallace, Morley, and Andy have built something of value and Quality. I too was raised on 60 minutes. It still and will always be a Sunday evening tradition. When Harry Reasons died it should me that my favorite “News Magazine” on Sunday night was not to be forever. Ed leaving makes me sad, but proud to say that 60 mintes has help, assisted, and made me better.

Ed Bradley and the whole 60 minutes organization is what is right. It is pure. This seems to be a thing of the past in TV. May people forever understand the power and stature of this great show.

I hear ya Brother, “Don’t Sing It, If You Can’t Bring It.”

Thanks.

Was Ed Bradly gay? Just wondering. He sported the left ear ring and shit so, I always wondered. Not that it matters, just curious. Still a great reporter. Hey, at least they have Katie Couric now!!!! NOT!

Comment on Bob Schieffer – CBS’s Best Anchor Since Cronkite by fran jacobs

fran jacobs — Wed, 06 Sep 2006 12:51:05 +0000

Actually, Bob Schiefer is better than Cronkite was — professional, gracious, wise and witty, without Cronkite’s ego and attitude , which sometimes bordered on arrogance. (Still, it was shameful how he, too, was shafted by the greed and non-savvy Tisch regime.) Couric is thin, boring and lacks true depth and gravitas. It would appear that she spells the end of what was once an estimable institution – “the Tiffany network” turns out to be a cloudy rhinestone instead of the parkling, multi-faceed diamond it once was.
