OMG both of you guys make me realize Skitch has an image hosting website now? Oh dear...

That could very well be an interesting solution to this problem of mine (http://macapper.com/forums/showthread.php?p=4998#post4998)...

Is it a free service? Does one need an invite to use the service? I have the app over here and use it for quick and dirty image editing for troubleshooting posts.

[Kilted]

If you need an Invite Diane I can send you one

[MacHeadCase]

Oh so we do need an invite to get the image hosting because I do have the app here... Although it might not be the latest version, not sure on that. But heck if the image hosting is free and I need an invite, I would be really happy to get one, if you can spare one. :)

[Kilted]

I think you should update. When I first got Skitch it came with the hosting
Haven't you got the little webpost button in the lower right hand corner ?
I just take my pic click the button and bingo. You go to the hosting site
version 1.0b6.1

[MacHeadCase]

Ah hah! I didn't have the latest version. Downloading now. Thanks for the heads up! :)


Edited to add:

Ooh wheeh! It works! Man that app is amazing! Thanks again Kilted!

[Kilted]

(Hero type voice)..... My work here is done :biggrin:

[Ryan]

Hey Kilted, if you could send me an invite that would be great, I had Skitch, but it got deleted.

Ooooh, that's very neat, Steve-O!

Someday I want one of these...

[Kilted]

It's a beauty Steven

[Ryan]

I love your avatar iKitten!!

[iKitten]

Thanks! I figured, since we're a close knit group, why not change it up? Over there it was easier to find my posts while scrolling pages with the paw. :)

Thanks for all the nice comments on my desktop guys (and gals)!

[MacHeadCase]

Ok I need a tutorial here. How do you post a smaller pic that links to the bigger pic, bob? Skitch does this automatically or do you create two images, one for the smaller size (that you post here) and one for the bigger size (link embedded in the smaller image)?

[Kilted]

Skitch does it automatically

[MacHeadCase]

Dang! I have Skitch to host it: I click on webhost then upload and it takes me there... Then I select copy the link to the clipboard by clicking on Direct URL. And I get the image I get such as above in here.

What should I be doing instead? Unless the type of URL is the key here? I kept the default i.e. A Secret URL.

[bobtomay]

Yeah, I experimented with all of them.
When you're on the skitch page, the one at the bottom that says 'Forum' is the one we used. And you don't need to use the 'insert image' function using that link either. Just paste it into your post. I forget (after all it was a couple hours ago, you know senility and all) which one did the full size image.

Give 'em all a try. That's what I did. Just experimented with each of the skitch links editing my original post until I found the one I wanted.

[Kilted]

Bobs right ..
PS.. Amazing Desktop MHC

[MacHeadCase]

Hi everyone! Here's my latest desktop. Wallpaper was taken by me earlier in the month with my Canon PowerShot G9. It's the Nubble Light House in York, Maine. We took a trip up north earlier in the month for family business, then took the scenic route home.

Btw, I hope it is okay to post desktops this way. I reduced this from 1280x800 to 800x500. If it's too large, please let me know! I didn't see anything in the rules about image size, but figure this shouldn't be too large.

http://homepage.mac.com/mathogre/.Pictures/may 2008 new install sm.png

[MacHeadCase]

Nice ones, Peter and MO!

And MO if you use Skitch, you can use it to host your image and use the forum link thingy like I did. It automatically shrinks the image in your post while linking to the full sized image. But 800 x 500 is ok, I would think. It doesn't break the forum page layout on my end anyhow.

[mathogre]

Thank you MHC! I'll have to check out Skitch once things settle a bit more. At present I'm cleaning from recent chaos, which also includes a complete reinstall of everything on my Mac. In a nutshell, I'd accumulated much application junk on it, and it was beginning to interfere with my ability to program on it. Things are *mostly* done now.

[MacHeadCase]

K Just sent you an invite so you can keep it in your email and use it when you need it.

[mathogre]

Got it, thanks!!!!!

Me too. Getting a bonus next month. Think I'll only get one new toy out of it though. Have to decide whether to get the camera or a mini for a HTPC.

choices, choices, so hard

[iKitten]

Just beautiful, MO!

[mathogre]

Thank you iKitten!

I've been very pleased with the G9. MHC turned me on to it when I thought what I wanted was a dSLR. It turned out the G9 is just what I want and need.

[MacHeadCase]

You know I can't get over how sharp and crisp the photos come out! You seem to have a great symbiotic relationship MO, you and the G9. :biggrin:

[MaDDoG]

Yep nice pic. As MHC, nice and clear and good framing.

Lets take up a collection for MO. My cheques in the mail. Oh what was your address again? Maybe Cofi Anan can help.

I don't think the hundred dollar bill in my wallet will get MO much closer to that house. Very Pretty!

Hey iKitten! If you want that pic in the native rez for your screen, just drop me a PM with the size you need and I'll do it for ya. Will send it via email. Deal?

[bobtomay]

Now that is one fantastic house there MO. Have to be at least south of the Mason-Dixon line for me though or I wouldn't be venturing outside much 6 months out of the year.

A clean desk is the sign of a sick mind. Sherman that one looks like mine - not sure what that is a sign of. Dual monitors, :cool: that is the one thing I miss. But I still don't think the wife would let me set them up around my recliner in the front room.

[MacHeadCase]

Of course not, she wouldn't be able to see the TV screen. :tongue:

The town is Bodie, California. It was a mining town that was eventually abandoned.There are quite a bit in that area. Here's the wiki which is pretty accurate http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodie,_California

I like yours too. Where is it? It reminds me of an railroad track. Pretty cool

[Brown Study]

This is my favourite, Turner's Fighting Téméraire Being Towed to Her Last Berth to be Broken Up.

The Téméraire was a Royal Navy three-decker ship of the line that like the rest of her kind and unlike the Victory, didn't survive the coming of steam (hence the sunset — for sail — and a flaming, smoke-belching tug out front).

http://img389.imageshack.us/img389/1853/desktopam5.th.jpg (http://img389.imageshack.us/my.php?image=desktopam5.jpg)

[MacHeadCase]

Nice work of art. I think (but am not sure) I saw it in my younger days over at the Musée des Beaux-Arts here.

[Brown Study]

The Téméraire is here (http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/art/cgfa/), a site I discovered when the web was new. It's been continually added to and the artwork rescanned as the technology improved.

It's an amazing site, with lots of surprises for me, like a 15th- or 16th-century Dutch painting of ice-skaters playing what looks like hockey.

The iPhone camera is good, if not exactly great. If you don't have a camera with you, it's actually quite good. I got some pretty good shots that day. There were lots of Ferraris, a couple Maseratis, an original Mini Cooper, and even a Lamborghini Diablo. The Diablo is an accquired taste. :coolthumbup:

Mine. I scanned the wallpaper from a puzzle box years ago. It was too big to scan completely, so I scanned it in two pieces and assembled them. I did this in Windows using Paint Shop Pro, a most excellent tool.

The artist is Ken Keeley and the work is called "Bayles Dock." It's in Port Jefferson, Long Island, New York. (There are only three places in NY: The City, Long Island, and Upstate.)

Enjoy!

And of those three places, only one is actually worth living in, and that would be upstate.

Mine. I scanned the wallpaper from a puzzle box years ago. It was too big to scan completely, so I scanned it in two pieces and assembled them. I did this in Windows using Paint Shop Pro, a most excellent tool.

Nice, I like that bush/shrub, especially the bright color of the leaves. :)

This is a picture from iRye, which I LOVED and absolutely had to use for my desktop.

That is lovely architecture/engineering work. Makes me think of Myron Goldsmith.

This is for Tanner.
FOR ME?!!
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.
Thanks MaDDoG!

I'm glad I came here, I might have missed it if I didn't come here today!

Being on dial up, these kind of threads take forever, but I still LOVE looking at them.
I usually only look at the most recent couple of pages.
Yeah.


So....it looks like most of you seem to be running Leopard.

What's it like!? lol.


Looks like it's just BlueBell and I with tiger still.


Someday, i'll experience Leopard. Someday. LOL.

Oh well. Frank's working great for the time being.

[Tanner31593]

Here's mine!

This flower was the ONLY flower to grow in that area.
We never did anything to that area. It was a garden a couple of years ago, now it's just heavy leaves.

The flower that survived! lol.
It's dead now. This picture was taken about a month and a half ago.

[Tanner31593]

On my desktop, on the top corners you can see the picture in the VERY corner, even though I can't see it on my screen. The white bar is in the corner of my screen. lol.
Weird.
Not really, but yeah.

[iRye]

Thanks guys who complimented my picture! I humbly agree that it is quite nice :D

I used to use Leopard. Trust me, you're not missing anything great. I like Tiger much more and will use it for as long as possible.

Glad to hear Frank is working again. :)

...Well, my desktop hasn't changed, (I tend to keep one for a few months) so yeah, that was my post. ^^
