I'm sitting in a cafe in Burlingame, with my free wifi, resting my tired feet, and tending to my sleepy brain.
This pic taken minutes ago:
Ain't life grand?!
take a picture of what's behind where Tangler is on the laptop, then post that picture on Tangler and take a picture of your laptop with it on so it looks like we're looking through the screen
*scratching head*
Huh?
(i don't think the coffee is working)
NB. Plan may not include all required stages, missing stages may include but are not limited to those regarding proper positioning of the camera and any required cropping or editing of the photo taken.
Good lord... took me forever to figure that out, and I still don't quite get it
Hang on
Okay, I got this:
And this:
HAHAHAH..... no.. not quite
What??
MOAR??
So, did I get it right?
The idea is to take a pictue that looks like we're seeing through your screen to look at something in the background. To achieve this effect you fix the camera in position and flap the lappie screen down to take picture #1. Then flap the screen up to figure out which part of the first picture is covered up by the screen, and especially the part of the screen where a picture posted to Tangler would be.
Then you crop picture #1 to just include the stuff behind the lappy that would be hidden by the posting area of Tangler, post the cropped version into the posting area of Tangler and take the second photo so that we see the background, the lappy, and another bit of the background on the lappy screen (as if we're looking through).
Bear in mind this is all kinda crazy difficult and I really only said anything on the spur of the moment because you were taking photos of a computer screen
SK.. I think dek needs those extra instructions to understand
Honestly, I'm not sure if it's the lack of sleep or what.... I really just don't get how to do it. Just can't visualise it
Meh, you got 3 pics.... be happy!
Also I didnt see any posts other than my own until I refreshed
Yeh, something wrong there SK. Am having our devs look into it
Yeah I'm getting the same...
Sucks, I know
Alright. I'm almost out of batt and 2hr time limit is up. Gonna go walkies again.
Till later amigos!
I made my own composite from the pictures you took
But now I realise that I sorely misjudged which legs belonged to which person
ah nuts to it, the people moved, the camera may or may not have moved, and stuff doesn't line up very well.
Oh. Well.
LOL sk ... you tried!!
HAHAHAHAH Love it!!
So THAT'S what you meant!!
Doh
Ok ok, so Dek not very bright
I've been having a poor day up until now....but 'THE PLAN'....I'm sure it's not meant to be funny......but it made me laugh.....a lot!
I'd like to thank SK for his moment of genius....and a BIG thanks to dek for not understanding stuff (again) and making the plan possible.
I suppose it would have been too easy to point her in this direction and let the pictures do the talking.....
Well... you say "too easy", but I find it very easy to type stuff and scribble in Paint, so finding that link to post might have been less easy...
Ok, so it would have been easier. Quiet you. Glad you got a laugh out of it, it was intended to be at least partially funny (everything I say/type when not serious is intended to be somewhat fun to read)
HAHAHAHA That's great!!!
This is new to me Sir M. No wonder I couldn't visualise it.
And glad I could entertain as SK's sidekick
It's what I'm here for!
Hope your day got better mate
hmm....let me see....
...work is finished for the week.....i got to laugh at you....yep, it got better
LOL!! Somebody make my week better please?? I'm working a 14-day roster and then I get a break (a measly ONE DAY) before going back to it again... Those transparent screens are good though.
OH!! Actually I did see something funny yesterday.. Guy gets on a motorbike and goes to take off and just fell sideways on the ground.. it was F..ing hillarious but I guess you had to see it. I was almost in tears for laughter...
So to that guy.. whoever you were... thank you....
LOL! Terrible....
I've had a great day too.
Friends who are good company are always the cure for me
Even though it not lined up, I still think it is very affective. and a great idea for an art shoot.
It is isn't it?
I took another two shots today, working in Starbucks.
Will try and do what SK did
pseudyx, is that a new avatar?
no... always had the same avatar
I like your new avatar though
yeah, there's a whole smutty topic about it here
cool... am reading
Meanwhile, I've been slowly updating Flickr. Am only a week behind
Collection is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dekrazee1/collections/72157619031046812/
ooooh yaaaaaaayyyyyy......
*rushes and looks*
wow lots of lovely cars there
I especially love this:
Yes, I'm in heaven... *sigh*
hahaha yeah, I still don't get that one!
why not 25min ?
Exactly what I said in the comment to that pic.
Or 23 or 22 for that matter
it makes no sense
ooooh...cars, cigars and pez. Sounds like a fun week.
Do they make pez big enough to go in the worlds largest dispenser of pez?
If so, i want one.
hahahaah You could eat that like forever!
The giant dispenser dispenses little dispensers!
heheheh Cool eh?
I had an awesome day.
Rented a car, and just drove. This is such a beautiful country. Like Australia, but with squirrels, deer crossing, and bloody gorgeous roads
Sounds like fun. What's next on the agenda?
I'm happy you're enjoying it there, Deezee..
Awww mates.... I had a great day yesterday. I found some 'racing' roads, and basically just went up and down them
So tired now.... hiding out in a cafe, trying to will some strength into my arms. Don't think I'll be doing much driving today
For an idea of what I did yesterday, read my Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/dekrazee1
I hate to do that... but I'm really tired.
Also andro, I took some vids of the road. Gorgeous stuff. Can't wait to put it all up and show em to you
Will be good to have you back, deezee!
Did you have a run with a highway patrol?
Did I see that the Archbishop Rielly was twottering on your tweets...?
I think the YouTwitFace is quite appropriate for him (and a few others)
I ain't got no idea what you be on Mr Dent....
And yes Andro, I got pulled over!! hahahahaah
What an experience. It's a long story, which I will recount soon. Suffice to say I charmed my way outta it
Oh oh, and I turn old today
How old is "old"?
Dek has reached a milestone in her age. That must be either be 21 or 25.
OMD... if 25 is old then I must be fossilised
Happy 'old'day Dek
Oh oh, and I turn old today
Bet I know how old you are, Deezee..
Happy Birthday, krazeeone..
Happy Birthday you!!!!!
30 and fabulous and in SF on holiday. Nice...;)
That sounds like a good bit of inside information.
hee! good that she's too far away to throw a shoe at me head.
It's okay. My partner was fine in turning thirty. The problem was a year later that she realised that it kept going...
I find a good way to guess someone's age is to count their wrinkles and divide by 10....
.........
.........
Um.....have you received your telegram from the Queen yet?
Thank you PupRad and Mr Dent and Morgan and Andro and Swinger! umm... and Sir M
I ain't got no wrinkles yet, but I found my 3rd grey hair a few days ago, which I was thrilled about! hehehehe Now if I forget, I can just count my hair
And 30 is great! Don't feel any different from 5 or 10 years ago, but the bonus is that it's a nice round number which is easily rememberable. Haven't been able to say my age off the top of my head since 22 I think.
W00t! No more counting back from 79!
And Mr Dent, not sure if you were being sweet or crazy, but thank you.
Andro, love that pic! Tonight I shall dance like that hehehehehe
Swinger, awwwwww, chooo cute! Reminds me of our fav Shrek cat one!
Sir M - If I got a letter from the Queen, would it be illegal to mark it 'Return to sender'?
Only if it had Anthrax added to it...
...although why the Queen would send you a telegram with Anthrax I don't know.
Thye weren't even a good band back in the day
I always say that I have no problem with getting older. There is, after all, only one other alternative...
Trouble is that eventually it ceases to be the alternative and becomes the default..
Default always occours when you have a re-set and can't find the custom settings. A bit like life really.
Yesh, agree with Mr Dent.
Life is great! You live, you learn, you have birthdays!
And after you have lots of birthdays (if you're lucky) then you croak!
Dek, for your birthday celebration I've decided to live up to one of my promises to you from a week ago.
The ingredients - before the first proofing - after the second proofing - rolled out with the spread on - Chocolate scrolls.
They should be cooled enough to eat in about three minutes. How long will it take you to get here?
Well my sources say she just got on a plane... Seriously.
Home via Melbourne? The other topic
My understanding of the matter, is that you would be correct, Morgan..
Hopefully, our frog impressions are a few years off just yet...
Yesh! I be back!
Thanks PupRad, that's all I needed to see right now...
*tummy growls* Just realised I haven't eaten in 17 hrs
Mr Dent - hopefully, but I wouldn't count on it pour moi
Eat something!
A HA!! I forgot I bought double dark choc cookies at SF airport!! Woo hoo!!!
HAH!
You forgot?! And you spent a whole flight not eating? LOL you funny
hahaha Yeah, I was in 1/2-awake-1/2-dream-100%-uncomfortable land
Poor thing!! The longest flight I've ever had to endure was about 5 hours... couldn't imagine it being any longer
(but i'm going to have to in about a year!!) shh...
OOOOoooooooo
Do tell!!
It involves a certain code of sport, add a hint of world cup, and a lovely country called South Africa.
Does that give it away?
NO FREAKING WAY!!!
Yes freaking way... I'll be there for a month for the soccer, and maybe a month after that for tourist things, mountains and safaris and exploring etc..
OMG i am jealous! i wanted to be in SA for the world cup! but it turns out i have other events planned during that time and i have to ditch the big plan....SIGHHH!!!
The only thing I'm trying to work out is how long to stay for... if I really like Africa, should I go further north? Should I buy a return ticket? How long will I stay for? Will I have enough money..etc.. LOL the hardest thing I have to decide is when to come back home!
(and pray that the economy/exchange rate stays around the same)
will you be getting one of those follow-the-team tickets morgan?
My advice - MAKE sure you have enough time to do and see all you want to see. Or coming back will bite. (I speaketh from experience)
Yes.. I still have to apply for tickets, I'm waiting for the stupid passport office to hurry up because I need my passport number to apply... I really hope it doesnt take much longer! I wanna get my tickets now!
And the Team-specific-tickets are great, because if my team gets knocked out, I still get to go to the match to watch whoever's left! I'm gonna get the best package, which includes the final match!
^^ that doesnt even begin to say how happy I am!
Awwww man.... I be sooooo jealous.
Maybe I should make the trip over there too
They tell me Zimbawbe is nice at that time of year..
Morgan, Yep those are the best tickets to get!
dek!! u be in singapore on 12 June 2010 i tells ya!
Oh... yesh.... ooops
Well maybe she could just come for the finals??
yes of course finals are fine! so dek i'm thinking u could hop to SA from singapore! shorter than flying from australia since we all know how much u hate long uncomfortable flights!
HAHAHAHAHAH
Thank you two, for planning out my trip for me
No problem!
And I think two months will be fine, especially if I'm travelling all over for the matches:
no worries. this is what i do after i come back from a long trip; i start planning my next one.
Yeah Morgan, that sounds good actually.
Swinger, you have no idea... When the plane landed today, I almost went to the counter to buy a ticket right back!!
Geez
I'm very happy to see Deezee back home in Australia, because every time I looked at the title of this topic, I would think that she had joined the Scudereia Ferrari..(not that that would be a bad thing mind you) 
HAHAHAHAH
Totally not a bad thing
Which reminds me - I HAVE to go back just to see the Ferrari shop. I couldn't find it on my own, and then got driven by it....
AND IT HAD THE F1 CARS IN IT!!!!
Can you buy me one when you go there?
I'll do me best!
FUCK THE FUCKING PASSPORT OFFICE!!!!! (cont'd here)
