Photo time!!

[piersk]

Bored, bored, bored!!

Ok people, you can see what the mods look like here (http://www.phpbuilder.com/board/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=23), but I like to know what people look like when I spend ages talking to them!

So post links to your photos please.

[bubblenut]

Probably about 4 years old now. I've lost the mohawks, the septum piercing and aren't (quite ;) ) so bleary eyed any more.
Will try to find a newer one.

Exactly the reason why I collect as many pics of people as possible for my Address Book (OS X)

[piersk]

... are you going to post your pic then...

[goldbug]

heh.... I'll post my addy book pic when I get home tonight :) (iBook sitting at home on desk)

You all have until then to gather your torches and form a mob, before you chase me to my fiery death. :D

/sidenote: and may I say, stolzy, thats a damn fine avatar you've got there :D

[Merve]

What's with South Park avatars (no I'm not going to post a pic here as I do not have a digicam or a scanner).

[rpanning]

Ya, what's up with those South Park avatars :D, and whats this South Park pic?

[Bunkermaster]

where south park?

/me transforms people into floppy disks

[piersk]

To explain to all those who can't read the thread (all 51,558 of you), I was bored at work and since I had seen photos of most of the mods I decided to try to "south-parkarize" them...

I think I was quite successful, too! :D

Although you can't really see it in his, I especially liked the flaming eyes in Bunkers :p

[bad76]

Fun!

/But isn't there anyone like to kenny? :D

[piersk]

Unfortunately not... They're pretty true-to-life dont you think?

[Bunkermaster]

i wear shirts most of the time... and am fater

[piersk]

I wanted to try to get the raw animal inside you ;)

having just read that, it sounds so much more dogdy than it really is

[Elizabeth]

Piers was even kind enough to give me a beer in my avatar- what a guy! ... even if he is a dodgy git.

[stolzyboy]

He made a checkerboard out of me! :D

[Elizabeth]

Just to go with your "checkered" past, Stolz ;)

dodgy, moi??

I meant that in the photo he had before, he looked quite psychotic, and I think the flaming eyes matched that quite nicely...

and the reason for stolzy's shirt is cos in his photo (http://www.cloverfish.net/images/884888488.jpg) he was wearing a checkered shirt...

[Bunkermaster]

so sad so much anger tbh

:rolleyes:

he made a psycho son of the devil out of me... nothing new

[stolzyboy]

truth hurts don't it

[bad76]

What I find really fun
is to read the personal title over the avatar... it's perfect !!!

PHP Vitcim -> eyes like Hannibal the cannibal,

Queen of digression -> opened mouth (I can hear the "bla, bla, bla...")

Confused mod -> Charlie Brown's lost glance

moderator ->wear hypno-pyjamas

I wonder what avatar is for Mr."Where's My Beanie"... :D

[piersk]

Dunno... haven't come up with that yet

[piersk]

Ah, go on! You know you wanna!

[dalecosp]

Well, me thinks we gentlemen o'fortune should be makin' our plans now for ye "International Talk like a Pirate Day"....

Any thoughts?

[piersk]

YAR!!

ahem... what did you have in mind? Just a day where we all talk...type... loik poirats?

[LordShryku]

Aye matey!

[dalecosp]

Roight; ye day is ye Septembre nointeeth. So, a plan. Now, this here be a plan to be enacted when th' time is roight, so we'll have none of ye scurvy rats startin' th' mutiny before it's toime!!

1. We all include pirate language in our posts.

2. We all include pirate language in our signatures and other personal information.

3. We put eyepatches on our avatars, if applicable.

4. Definitely a big thread in the EL.

5. Virtual Rum.

6. Not sure what to do with she-Geeks. Either they join us, or .... <yarr!>

7. Lastly, our ship must capture a prize on the Internet. I was thinking maybe this site's CSS files? Maybe a cute South Seas logo, and change everything to wood tones for a day?

:D :D

[piersk]

I like the idea, but whoi Septemberr the nointeenth? Whoi not nearxt week??

We need to come up with a standard start and finish toime (i.e. 00:00 GMT - 23:59 GMT) so that people don't get confuused as to when it should starrrt

[bubblenut]

It's a bit early to start planning isn't it Talk Like A Pirate Day (http://www.talklikeapirate.com/) 19th Sept.

Actually I suppose we have to get the provissions if we're going to carry this through authentically. Lets start with a galleon (http://www.oldtimer.ndirect.co.uk/html/misc%20folder/ship.html) (not sure if we'll all fit), who's buying the livestock?

Bubble *buying* livestock? Why, me boy, I look out the winder of the chicken house, and the fields are ripe unto th' harvest, matey! And, what's more, the owners are more'n half mile away. If we be intendin' to act like pirates, I say we take 'em.

And, yarr, it's a bit early, but I figure that a plan that's only 9 months early is OK. Otherwise, it's not a plan. Now, I'm a consultant by title, but a hacker by nature, so it's really a self-help measure, isn't it?? ;)

BTW, you can read more, and/or sign up to be automagically reminded of ITLAPD at thomasscott.net or www.yarr.org.uk ....

[dalecosp]

And, aye, bubblenut, that's a beautiful ship, but at 1.25m a tad small for even one of us, I'd think.

Seein' as we'll be bein' modern pirates, how about this one? (http://ships-for-sale.com/aircraft_carrier.htm) :D :D

Methinks we'll need a lot of venture capitalists, and maybe even have to start pirating at a few banks previous to the big day.... :D :D

[piersk]

Maybe internet.com could fund it. I'm sure they're pretty well off...

[Elizabeth]

Look at these posts just a-flyin'!

LordShryku- I appreciate the honest effort at smiling, LOL :D HOWEVER- the other PHPers were correct in their assumptions that referring to me as "Lizzy" can certainly bring out the worst in me. Ye have been warned matey ;)

Dalecosp- I am digging the whole Pirate thing, but I'll play along only if I get to be Johnny Depp's personal wench- can we arrange that? :D

-Elizabeth

[dalecosp]

We'll send him a copy of your avatar. If he bites, and ponies up for a big share of the budget, we'll let him at you. You sure hubby's OK with this? What about the kids? ;)

BTW, if we can't raise funds for the carrier, there's a nice Barkentine for just 3.3M Euro.....

[Elizabeth]

It's okay, Johnny's in my "Top 5" - the hubby can't get mad, it's in the rulebook. Same holds true if Sandra Bullock came knocking on his door. I'd have to gracefully acquiesce. :)

[dalecosp]

Umm, what's the rest of that "Top 5" category?

Like, umm, "Top 5 People who are really hot and we'd drop each other in a heartbeat for but they will never show up anyway so we're safe"? ;)

Yep, sure is, that's why I believe he is saying sorry again!

[piersk]

Stolzy: Thats more like it. (you had me confused for a bit there...)

Dale: Yes.

[Weedpacket]

I was just thinking of that Dr. Katz episode.

"So we each agreed that we would allow the other to have an affair with one other person. I picked Cindy Crawford and she picked Alec Baldwin. A year later, I said 'let's review our choices'. She picked Brad Pitt, and I picked our babysitter, and I won and she can't accept that!"

[dalecosp]

Exactly; that's what I'd be afraid of. One of us would pick five Hollywood types; the other would be five fairly good looking folks we both knew. :eek:

[Elizabeth]

Ok, for the record- a few rules with the top 5 list:
1) It has to be a famous person, not a peon.
2) Your S.O. agrees that if the situation ever arose where the list member came up to you and said "Marry me!" the spouse would have to, as I said earlier, gracefully acquiesce. Same holds true for a brief "encounter" if you know what I mean nudge nudge.

[piersk]

But since the chances of you meeting any of the people on that list (perhaps with the exception of BuzzLy) is slim to none, isn't that ok?

Originally posted by Elizabeth

No, I don't understand. Please explain..

/me glances in the mirror to check my halo hasn't slipped

[Elizabeth]

While your point is a valid one, Piers, it has to be someone with which you don't regularly converse, and "know". Now, if you made a movie or a TV show, then we'd talk HA! ;)

[Merve]

Piers...hmmm...has a ring to it. Great name for a talk show! Now whenever I think of piersk, I'll think of wild teenagers and pregnancy tests...:D

Yes, you're right, dalecosp! Aren't you guys happy to be staring at blocks of code for hours until you can't see straight? Don't you love getting the "mouse carpal tunnel" cramp in your right hand? Don't you like when your eyes get all tired and dry from staring at the monitor for too long? Don't you love waking up in the middle of the night with a coding revelation, or unable to sleep because you're trying to solve a logic problem in your head?

E: might I suggest Workrave (http://www.workrave.com/welcome/) as an aide to some of the things you mention :) (I actually use it at work AND home now)

[Elizabeth]

G- that is really humorous actually; I've never heard of it. Maybe I'll install it on the network without telling anyone and see what kind of reaction I get :)

[piersk]

I like that idea.

Of course I might show up in the middle of the night a few times, as I have the 8pm-2am shift ;)

My wife and I were actually talking about this, and other medical reasons for being "inactive"... and how it's great that Wifi exists now, so people restricted to beds/rest can have something more to do than read/watch tv. :D

Sorry, that was reallllllly O.T., even for here :P

[stolzyboy]

Most people work until the contractions start or their water breaks. Ewww!!

Then you hatch and the vaca begins!

[piersk]

Really?? Is that what your wife did Stolzy?

Well, being only 22, I haven't even got married, let alone spawned any likenesses, so I wouldn't exactly know anything about it.

[stolzyboy]

Yeah, she worked til the day her water broke...

It broke at midnight and we drove to the hospital at that time!

[Elizabeth]

I think it also depends on the situation.. my sister-in-law quit her job the day she found out she was pregnant; unfortunately some of us can't afford to do that :). I've had easy-breezy pregnancies though so it's really no biggie for me. (and yeah, Stolzy- that is a big fear of mine- that my water will break out in public somewhere, like the grocery store or something LOL)

What was the original topic of this thread again? Oh yes, photos! :)

[piersk]

Can we have a photo of you as you are at the mo? We've seen a very svelte one, but not "with child".

[Elizabeth]

I'll see if I can dig one up... I'm a little camera shy as I'm now big as a damn barn, but I'm sure there's one around here somewhere for posterity's sake... ;)

Don't worry, we won't hold it against you.

Dunno if I've asked you this, but have you thought of any names yet?

And I won't be embarrassed if you choose Piers ;)

[Elizabeth]

We'll probably go with "William Lewis" (william is my dad and Lewis is my mother-in-law's maiden name)... can't decide on nickname "Will" or "Lew" tho. Probably "Will".

[piersk]

Good names. Not like my parents. My full name is Piers Karsenbarg, with sisters Fleur and Bryony!

Big as a barn? Look pretty fine to me ... and no, I'm not *that* warped. Besides, I checked you against the standard refrigerator measurements, and you'd fit in my barn just fine!

[piersk]

Cool!! It must be due any day now. What was the due date?

[Bunkermaster]

looking at the pic I'd say couple month ago :D

[Elizabeth]

LOL.. yeah yeah I know about that digital camera setting thing, just one of those things we haven't messed with yet :) My doctor had told me if I made it til Saturday (the 31st) she'd be surprised, and yet HERE I AM STILL AT WORK! :p Due date wasn't until the 12th tho...

I'm hoping he'll come today, so I have an easy birthdate to remember (02/02/04) - my other was born on 06/06/00 ... as spazzy as I am that's the only way I can remember stuff, ha ha.

[piersk]

But will she (E, not baby) be able to hang in there for another month?

[dalecosp]

Wot wot? PiersK confused again.

American datism: MM/DD/YY

European datism: DD/MM/YY

Is that the issue? Nope, any day now; no way that the doctor will let her go another month... often in the U.S. they send the ladies in for a c-section if they go 2-3 *days* past due. :(

I imagine we'll hear good news from Queen E in a week or so....

[stolzyboy]

My old lady was going in a week after her due date, but well we didn't make it that far...she still had a c-section anyway, kinda hard on the moms, but much, much easier on the baby that way, they don't have to do thru the tunnel of death to see the light LOL

[dalecosp]

!! TOD?

I used to tease my wife all the time that the kids weren't mine...I'm brown hair, brown eyes, so is she, and all 3 kids have been the blondest/blue eyed you can imagine... so, I tell people, "maybe they are the postman's kids.... (esp. if they're misbehaving...)

Then, one day we're both in the driveway when the postman drives up ... and he has the blondest hair and bluest eyes .... :D

Emily still hasn't asked how it's going to come out yet, thank God- I think she thinks he'll drive up and knock on our door one day, and then move in to the room next to hers. Hmm.. kind of like what I did to her Daddy.

Yeah E...

and you call yourself a geek...

YABBSE has something similar to that. Maybe we should pester the "other JS" to write something in...



oh and...

/me recoils from being hit with the frozen trout and grabs hold of his deadly ninja death prawns...

i haven't seen the "Other JS" in a while, course I've been slacking as well...

Now that I look at it tho, pointing to oneself is about as caveman like as typing "/me" so I guess it's the same either way. Hm.

How come you're not using the LART? Or is that only for special occasions? ;)

[stolzyboy]

I suppose we could use proper grammar, but how fun would that be, and then I'd have to have someone proof read my posts before I post it to ensure it's correct.

Weed, don't delete your post whilst I'm posting. It confuses me.

Also, why are you up at 4 in the morning?

I've been playing two or three days a week at lunch, there's a pool hall nearby with free tables until 2:00pm, so I come in an hour early and take a long lunch.

I'm starting to get pretty good. Not gonna see me on ESPN anytime soon though.

BUMP!

Sadly I do own a camera and scanner, though when pictures are taken of me I never show up in them.. strange eh? Guess I can't post one of me :p

cgraz, did you ever notice that you have a 1/2 friend that always shows up in your pictures? Weird.

at least, I think thats Buzz

Ok, Buzz, who did you kiss up to over there in the UK to leave the rest of us off the list?

Only in your wildest dreams, sweetie

Michael K. Glass, et. al. -- meaning there are more authors.

My company just hired an idiot CIO who's replacing our LAPP and Domino based solutions (which actually integrate pretty well) with all .net for millions of dollars.

just so we can be right back where we are in two years. What a Dumbass.

Same here. At least it seems that they (the managment) look to be moving to .NET, which I won't mind so much.

[piersk]

Mine won't (at the moment) :(

[Bunkermaster]

am doing 99% PHP

:D

Lucky me

[dalecosp]

So am I, when I'm not helping little old ladies with forgotten passwords, replacing modems zotted by lightning (or mobos....big storm y'day...), figuring out who the heck is responsible for warranty damage to a bunch of boxen, adminning an ever increasing number of servers, trying to balance my books, and trying to keep animals from s****ing all over the office floor.

In short, 99% percent of about two percent of my work is in PHP....ah, well.... :rolleyes:

[LordShryku]

I got an average load of shell scripting, php, sql, user support, system support, blah, blah, blah. No dogs here though :D

[Bunkermaster]

well I do a lot of admining too and a sh*tload of SQL, shells, etc.

It's just that it all revolves around projects using PHP :)

[piersk]

Do you get to "test" the stuff you write?

[bubblenut]

I'm mostly PHP (I'm including javascript and html in that), SQL, bash, a little java, and even less python and to top all that off I've just, today been given a 2K(decimal) pay rise and told that if there are any work related courses I'd like to do, even if they're not directly related with what I'm working on at the moment, they'd be happy to pay for them.
I've been smiling today, still am now and probably will be for while.
