Ask post: Is it a bad idea to include my phone number in an email address?
it's kind of nippy to put in numbers instead of a name - also don't ever give people on the internet your number - society could collapse - maybe give a number where they can phone and can hear the sound of you typing : )

Ask post: dearie me
I know there's a web addy - but i might just want to have a wee chat with them.
posted to Ask Metafilter by sgt.serenity at 5:05 AM on August 2, 2008
If you don't get it, please don't comment - I use the name for things outside mefi too - and various parts of my work have been referenced using that name ( you can google it yourselves )- so it raises issues for me and some of the work I do or work that is in progress - you could whois the domain name as well if you're really that interested.

What i would like to do is talk to the chaps involved and see whats what - I'm really not able to say a whole lot more than that at the moment.

Ask post: Respect my autonomy!
Well, a good one is that evangelisation is its incredibly difficult to spell and to me, sounds as if one should be on a white charger with a suit of armour - its a rather strange word all in itself - but that aside i would say the main thing is its used by people to avoid looking at themselves and it has become very, very american in its character - the fake on tv and so on.

Ask post: Nikon multiple (2+) wireless flash: what's the best pro rig?
you can control all nikon flashes remotely with a d80 - perhaps you would want to get an sb200 to control them overall - you dont need pocket wizards with the nikon lighting system.

Ask post: Does my body need the booze?
To answer your question - i would see a doctor about how to taper off alcohol, stopping drinking suddenly can give you a seizure - which at worst will kill you, at best will make you feel as though your head is being squeezed in a vice until you pass out.

Ask post: mac or pc ?
yes, i'm working mainly with photos and photoshop.
posted to Ask Metafilter by sgt.serenity at 8:40 PM on January 11, 2008
For photoshop on a laptop, having the wacom tablet built right into the screen, and a secret slot in the laptop to hold the stylus, is as good as it gets. I'm never going back, and I now view the ergonomics of un-enabled laptops as terrible.

cheers, does it have a name or anything ?

Ask post: making flippy floppy
sure, i've got rid of the floppy thing in the bios - it now detects the two hard drives but now instead of one cd drive it detects two.
posted to Ask Metafilter by sgt.serenity at 9:02 AM on January 4, 2008
and if i unplug everything except the old drive it still detects a cd drive .
posted to Ask Metafilter by sgt.serenity at 9:33 AM on January 4, 2008
problem solved - it was the cd burning program that created the ghost drive - i deleted the program and the drive went away.

Ask post: From standard snaps to great photography
tum te tum, don't worry about your camera - also DIFFERENTIAL FOCUS IS BORING, so don't worry about that - also look at this photographer here - and keep the awe and respect for other peoples work going - you sound as though you're developing in a really good way - the book "the artists way" is also very useful if applied.

Ask post: Yikes- Help me take pictures inside without making people look like stark white zombies!
Tell them you're a fine art photographer and you just want to take sad, gloomy pictures of half eaten wedding cakes and whatnot - they'll soon leave you alone.

otherwise follow a pro about for a wee bit.
posted to Ask Metafilter by sgt.serenity at 6:03 PM on July 3, 2007
oh aye, and use the word 'real' a lot - " i like to take REAL pictures" - that should scare them off sufficiently.

Ask post: Which camera should I get?
we had a professional photographer (Ewan Myles) come to college recently, he told us that not only is film dead, but that Canon are about 18 months ahead of Nikon in terms of high iso speeds and low noise - he no longer needs to take lights out with him on shoots. I've got a nikon sitting right here - but as soon as the next bit of cash comes in i'll be going for high iso Canon.

Ask post: How to get a junkie to move out?
it's kind of like a fire where the best thing to do is just to let it blow itself out - the best move is just to suffer it really - theyll piss people off outside who know where they live etc etc and theyll have to move because theyll end up owing someone drugs or money - keep out of it - phone the police if it gets too much - dont let the junkies know youre opposing them in any way.
If you find they come up to you , subtly mention youre visiting a friend who had a drug problem but... [more]
