I have a senior moment Sylvia. One of many lately. Recently you posted on this NG a reply with a hyperlink to an image you had taken. How did you do that please? I would be most grateful of your help. Just can't think at this time. Time is taking over methinks TIA.
Um - I just copied and pasted the URL. It's the browser that recognises it as a hyperlink, just by virtue of the text. Has to start with a URL prefix, such as http://
Ta.My problem is if I want to send the image say from 'My Pics' it's easy as an attachment, so how do I convert to it to a link with the prefix. It's staring me in the face, I know. Senility is definatly settling in. Retirement is on it's way soon. sorry to be a pain.
You need to use the webspace provided for you by your ISP (some do it for free), pay for website or run the webserver yourself and upload the pics first.
I think you'd be better of joining picasa or flikr, you can publish fair amount of photos for free and share links to them.
and you will be added with 5GB of web shared storage space...with lots ogf awesome functions and possibilities...even as interactive photo sliding albums....upload is simple, in few steps;
create New Folder
click upload to get uploader pop up window (local browser)
select all the pics you want to upload
after upload is done just do a right click on that folder and choose "Get a link to file" (or folder)
copy that link
paste it to anywhere or to anyone you want...
enjoy :)
btw; only people with that link will be able to browse those pics or any kind of files you upload...but there is also option to ake a public access for browsing as well...
here is the example;
formatting link
PS: if you want to use newsgroups for simple file upload by attaching it in your mail/news reader, then make sure you are posting ONLY at groups that are "binaries" highlighted in their title
for example; hr.sci.elektronika.binaries
PS: if you need to quickly upload just 1 or 2 pics to share then alternative option, fast, free and no need of registration is;
Or perhaps an unreasonable request couched in reasonable terms. After all, if a person has such a camera it is likely they'd use it anyway. So reading between the lines, Phil's request is actually that one not post photographs in such situations unless one has a camera with macro focus.
Mind you, I think as much as anything, the images were affected by the difficult of holding the camera still enough, and the lack of a remote shutter trigger.
"Autistic" is not an insult and it does not even apply. An autistic person will rarely involve themselves in issues between third parties.
The context:
PA: > ** Make us all one simple promise - will ya ? >
SE: And if one doesn't have one, but wants to make a point?
Sylvia.
Nobody would expect you (Phil or anyone else) to know what camera and facilities SE has access to. So SE's response tell you that she doesn't have a camera that will do a nice macro shot, and also tells you she still needs to produce a photo.
That is a full explanation of why her photos will be out of focus and less than perfect.
-------------------------------------------------
SE's response is not an attack on you. It is simply new information. New information is something external to you. It makes no judgement or criticism of you, your beliefs or values. It is entirely neutral. Nobody should expect you to already know this information, and hence there is no issue/problem/valid criticism that you didn't already know this.
The phrasing may be less than perfect and carries a hint of sarcasm, but it is well within the "norms" of this group and it is considerably less aggressive than many of your own responses to similar types of questions.
I don't know. I think it's a bit of a grey area. If it was someone who knew you as a kind, thoughtful, detail orientated type of person, I'd agree fully. But someone who didn't know you is, I think, entitled to ask.
So
I don't think Phil knows you so that may not follow.
You can try using a tennis ball or similar as a mono-pod. It might help (it helps me).
** Not up to you to decide if you have autism or not.
Others can see it sticking out a mile.
** Fraid that is exactly what the fools do a the time - being completely unable to perceive the folly of doing so.
** My post was not directed to SE but to Metro.
His reply was: " Definitely. Thanks "
** If I ever needed wanted to prove that you were autistic to someone - all I gotta do is show them this post.
