Members Image Gallery

Chris MC • May 25, 2003 5:59 pm
Hi there ... is at all possible to have a members gallery for posting self pics and stuff so we can all see who we're talking to? Or just a facility to include a pic in our profile page.

Ta lots :)

PS. I'm enjoying my stay here, very nice people so far. :)
Undertoad • May 25, 2003 7:57 pm
It's a fine idea, and will be worked on, along with the 30-second music sample concept.

I've always liked the idea of an expanded profile but could never figure out what should go into it.
SteveDallas • May 25, 2003 8:20 pm
UT, I'm not familiar with the gory details of all the web forum softwares out there... they're all a lot a like from my end-use standpoint... but some of them allow you to post a picture along with your tag line, right under your handle. Does this one have that option? If so, it might fit the bill for those who wish to use it.

El Saano has that option. Wait a minute though...isn't that essentially an avatar?

There are several pics of my mug floating around here, but since you want to see the crazies you're talking to, Chris, here:

(I'm not flipping you off Chris...that pic is 5 years old.)
Undertoad • May 25, 2003 10:01 pm
I have always always felt that avatars ruin things. I know for example that Syc doesn't want that pic to represent him in every piece of communication. Although this is an era when people find a small design that they will put on their body and carry with them always, so maybe I'm wrong.
elSicomoro • May 25, 2003 10:24 pm
True...I wouldn't want anyone to get the idea that I'm just another angry Gen Xer. (Shhh! Don't tell anybody!)

There are some other pics of myself in this thread, starting with that particular post forward.
juju • May 25, 2003 11:58 pm
Yeah, they eye is naturally drawn to images on the screen. So I personally find it very hard to read forums that have avatars or image taglines. I keep having to force my eye to focus on the text.
SteveDallas • May 26, 2003 10:37 am
Oh, I don't like em myself. It was just a thought toward an easy solution to the picture gallery idea.
wolf • May 26, 2003 10:34 pm
I've been on other v-bulletin sites that have the avatars. The only thing about them that I can see is that they may be more trouble than they are worth bandwith-wise.

Although ...

I have fun watching the occasional changes of tagline ... might also be fun to track the changes of mood which would result in a change of avatar.

Here's me ... :-D smile and say "cheese"!
juju • May 26, 2003 11:40 pm
Hey, I think I can see almost half your face in that picture! And look at that body.. mm mm mmm. er.. wait, I guess I can't.
juju • May 26, 2003 11:56 pm
I guess most all of the regulars have posted their picture here at one time or another, but you'd have to have been paying attention to catch them all. So here's me:

Wow, juju. That picture explains a <B>lot</B>.

wolf • May 27, 2003 12:01 am
I'll try to take a better picture tommorrow when i have some more time ;) I just got home and am still unpacking, haven't gotten to the camera yet. That was a nasty pulled off the webcam at a moments notice shot ... bad lighting and all.
juju • May 27, 2003 12:08 am
Cool! It seems like I vaguely recall seeing your picture on here before. Maybe I'm remembering wrong, though. But hey, we should all post our pictures. It'll be a picture thread!

Tob, whatever do you mean??
wolf • May 27, 2003 12:11 am
I think I was intimidating Elspode once and posted a pic of myself with my rifle (there are many like it but that one is mine). :shotgun:

juju, he meant that it explains a lot that you use a splitter to create a second phone line from your wall jack. You have the smarts to do that as opposed to calling the telco for a new line!

bmgb • Jul 1, 2003 9:27 pm
This is the coolest pic ever taken of me. It's old, but I don't look much different now.
Elspode • Jul 1, 2003 10:16 pm
Oh, what the hell...I don't have many pics of myself since I'm usually the one taking the photos, but here's a couple...one is of me at a family reunion a year ago, and the other is me playing with my band at last year's Pagan Pride Day.

The redhead on keyboards at left is my wife, and the grey haired gent on guitar on the right is Mr. Mike Nichols, who is widely known as a seminal Pagan author/researcher, and an authority on Celtic holidays. This probably means nothing to you unless you are a Pagan, but the guy is practically famous in the world of Witchcraft. He's also a lot of fun as he is a great pop culture afficianado, so we bandy about a lot of memories about old geezer rock and roll, film and other such diversions.

I'm sorry...I'm truly sorry...Bruce is a great guy, but....well....it was just that after I saw his old drivers license picture, this was the first thing that came to mind, and you know how I am.
Elspode • Nov 13, 2003 10:32 pm
Ah...shit. Now I'm consumed with guilt. Bruce has never been anything but nice to me, and I've Mansonized him.

Disclaimer: Bruce is NOT Charles Manson, he's nothing like Charles Manson, or his sister, Marilyn Manson.

You can deface any of my pictures that you want to, Bruce. I deserve it.

Don't feel bad, Bruce. Look at this old pic of me.

it's pretty cool that there are so many semi locals in the cellar. nothing against those of you who are more geographically challenged, of course.

Still, if he's wearing the uniform and toting a gun, he's a lot more likely to have someone wanting him harmed than I am, so I'm *still* grateful for his service!

Are in-ear monitors simply fucking wonderful, or merely terrific? It certainly seems that the quality of live performances has gone up a whole order of magnitude since they first hit the market.

they hit the market about the same time that labels started putting "stunt" bands on the road to play to pre-recorded tapes.

They're very hip, but they take a lot of getting used to. Sound guys love them - it dramatically decreases the stage volume, which gives them a lot more control over how they mix the house sound. It's also essential if you are using any kind of loops or triggers - the band has to have a click track in their ear so that the loops are in time, but you don't want the sound of the click coming through stage speakers.

I WILL NOT use them unless I personally know and have worked with the monitor engineer, however. If he's not johnny-on-the-nut, then it's impossible to do your job as a player.

Pi, you're in that picture somewhere? I just see landscape ...

(for everybody who didn't get it, that was a lame camo joke. It's late and I'm tired. They can't all be gems.)

that was a lame camo joke

Oh and PI , you are toting a FN FAL in that pic Right ???
Pi • Apr 13, 2004 8:16 am
Ok this was during my january military exercice in the desert of Morokko.
Actually you can see my teeth on the pic, wolf, and we once had an instructor who told us to put some camo on the teeth. We did it ;)
And yes zippyt, it's a FN FAL 7.62 Nato. Normally in Belgium they use the FN FNC 5.56 Nato and in Luxembourg we have the Steyr AUG 5.56 Nato. But they didn't want us to import weapons to Morokko, so we had to use their FAL and their AK47 Yugo.

Saw a recent SNL performer (Pink?) rip her in-ear monitor right out in the middle of a song in a moment of disgust. She still got the job done but you had to figure somebody blew it on national TV.

Btw, Elspode, you and my daughter have the same birthday. She's almost two and a half. I figure, if you have to be born on a holiday, New Year's Eve is the best one. You always have a party, ya know? ;) My mother was born on Christmas Eve. Got one present for her birthday, and one for Christmas. She said it sucked big-time.....


Sidhe
CzinZumerzet • Apr 20, 2004 9:33 am
Thank you Lady Sidhe for the kind remark about my eyes. I'm not sure the webcam is properly focussed so can't be sure of it's accuracy but what you said about your grandfather is interesting.

My brothers and I have all noticed that the family blue has become deeper and more intense as we've grown older, a part of the aging process I can happily live with!

I have a young niece with eyes the colour of violets in a gorgeous pure colour, but don't know where in the gene pool they came from.

You really are a handsome couple!

I'm confused, LS...I was born on 9-25-56, not a New Year's Eve.

Perhaps you are referring to my entry in the how did you find the cellar ?

By golly, you're right...it does say that. I think you've just discovered a Cellar glitch, LS! I went to "edit profile" for me, and it has my correct date in place, but that sure isn't what displays when you click on "profile" under my posts...

The advise to see LJ's pic on page 3 got me to scroll thru this entire thread. I must say that cellar members are a most attractive bunch all in all. Jinx is stunning in the wedding photo; LJ too cute for words in the baby shot; Lady Sidhe some how looks exactly the way I imagined; Patrick looks like my kind of guy; Skunks is adorable; Beestie, dangerously handsome. I'm impressed by EVERYBODY!

Summer of 1998. Other than the fact that I weigh a bit more, I don't look any different.

The only real difference between the midwest and PA is that the ocean is closer here. Both are about the same when it comes to stupidity.
lumberjim • May 12, 2004 4:01 pm
In my travels i noticed that the further north east you go, the meaner and more sarcastic people are. the folks in the midwest, while a bit sleepy, maybe, are nicer in general. But then again, they've been exposed to WalMart longer than we have. i think it's all of those roll back smileyfaces.....subliminal nice-ification

Photographic evidence of the point in my life where I achieved total coolness: March 1985.

thanks, i thought it looked pretty cool too. but that's more due to the skill of the photographer than any "rock" aura i give off -- i'm pretty static on stage.

unfortunately, the widest angle lens in the world would not have picked up any groupies at that gig -- we were openers, and only about 30 people had shown up...again, kudos to the photographer for making it look otherwise.
