Title: The Faces of Amiga.org
Post by: Kees on October 12, 2003, 11:08:02 AM: If you would like to see some regular visitors of Amiga.org, you can check out the Faces of Amiga.org (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/christopher.sheffield/facesofamigaorg/) site.

Don't forget to upload your picture while you're there ...

Post by: that_punk_guy on October 12, 2003, 02:02:31 PM: I believe whabang had a little play in Photoshop ;-) but it's still him (well I'm trusting) so it's okay. A couple of people have uploaded pics that aren't of themselves, they won't be going on the site. I noticed the smiles situation too :-) We have 3 definite smiles and a couple of borderline ones now though. he he :-D

Thanks to everyone who's submitted pics so far :-) if you want to change your pic, just upload a new one. Right, I'm off to arse about in Turbo Pascal to see if I can automate this a little bit :-)

No, he's just a floating head, haunting the dark and abandoned places of this world.

There are fifteen at the moment... Could be a cache problem?

Anyone know who jennings is? I got a jennings.jpg upload but it was corrupted and when I went to PM 'jennings' that nickname doesn't seem to exist...

:-?

Also dunno who r0_Fun is he he... :-D (Edit: he's skler0 in disguise.)

Post by: that_punk_guy on October 12, 2003, 06:51:27 PM: I wonder if it's my dodgy HTML... But it looks okay in Firebird and IE to me. I put meta-tags in there so the page wouldn't cache but I was told Internet Explorer ignores those tags. Are you using IE?

When I find a half up-to-date picture of me in electronic form I will submit it :-)

DISCLAIMER - I accept no liability for any broken monitor tubes / tft panels caused by my ugly mug...

Post by: takemehomegrandma on October 12, 2003, 09:39:38 PM: This was cool! :-)

But shouldn't this be a feature of amiga.org itself, perhaps as a special section in the image gallery?

The original picture was reddish so I first changed it to greyscale.
The I thought "What the heck!" so I played a little more... :)

And I used Paint Shop Pro, not Photoshop! :-x :-D :-D

what a bunch of reprobaites.....

After looking at that lot, you realise the [color=FF3300]NEED[/color][/b][/i][/u] for avatars.
Some of those mugshots could easily frighted young children, and terrify old ladies.

Shouldn't be allowed, letting 'Aesthetically Unpleasant'(tm) people (?) post trauma-inducing pictures, onto unsuspecting innocent humans.

:-D :-D :-D
