roff photo essays
 

Thanks to Chuck, Jeff, Joel, Mark, and Wolfgang for contributing some
fine photo essays for all of roffdom to enjoy. These are all posted at
http://css.sbcma.com/timj/roffpics/ and I've made some refinements for
easier viewing. Once you open any of the collections and click on a
photo to view the larger shot, the photo will appear in a new browser
window. This was done so you don't reload the original page each time
between viewing photos.

Anyone else who has some photos to share with the group can email them
along with any trip report to timj at sbcma dot com and I'll post them
up. This is turning out to be a good way to have a common place for this
stuff.

Great deal Tim! Thanks for you considerable efforts.

And, not that I am complaining, mind ya, you got the primary TR, but my
photo explanations didn't accompany the pics?

Thanks again.

If you pause the mouse over the thumbnail photos, you'll see the text
you sent. Because you're so long-winded G, you may have to move the
mouse over the photo a few times or read really, really fast.

Where *EXACTLY* are the words supposed to appear? I tried that before I
sent in my reply post, but nada? Neither with thumbnail or larger photos?

Could it possibly have something to do with my 'puter settings?

They should appear right under the pointer in a little pop-up box. If
the mouse is moving, the alternate text won't appear, so it must be
perfectly still.

I don't think there's a browser setting. Maybe it's pibkac. ;-) Is
anyone else having that problem?

You're expecting a non-standard feature to work the same in all browsers.
The alt attribute is not intended to be displayed in a popup when you hover
over an image. That's for text to display while an image loads or if the
user has image display disabled. What you're looking for is the 'title'
attribute. Here's the cross browser way to do what want:

IMG src="an_image.jpg" alt="some text" title="the same or other text"

Yeah, well I was also expecting to see Kevin Vang tied to Liz Hurley,
but that didn't work out either.

It's good to have geeky friends. ;-) Thanks Stan. Try it now, Mark.

I'm working on it, but she's not answering any of my phone calls any
more. BTW, wayno or Jeffie, how do you go about appealing a restraining
order?

step one: send all disposable funds to my law account.

step two: i'll get in touch with her people and get back to you;
probably for more of step one.

Honestly Tim, I wasn't trying to make your life more difficult, as I
couldn't begin to do what you have done--in life or on ROFF. However, I
though that several of the pics (particularly, the one of the cable rapped
around the pointy rock) were pointless without the explanation. Others
might have gotten by on there own?

Anyway, if I had a say in this, I'd go with the text below the thumbnail
pic, as the entire explanation still doesn't appear when the pic is paused
upon...

It's your site and I won't put my two scents in again.

Thanks again for your hard work!

WTF? My life sucks. It's like living in hell, only in a parallel
universe where hell is MUCH worse than earth-hell. It's like army ants
crawling into every orafice imaginable. It's like War of the Worlds,
only it's just me. It's like an unbarbed fliy you've cast into your own
arm. It's like killer bees in multiple waves. It's like watching Kevin
Vang tied to. . . well, you get the point.

Like Eau de Op and Eau de Mark? :) Seriously, your input is
appreciated.

Thanks again for your hard work!

The point is IT'S NOT HARD WORK and it isn't going to turn into that in
any case. I've often thought it would be good to have a collection place
for roff trips'n'pics and this is a good opportunity to start it. It's
for purely selfish reasons so I don't have to hunt for the photos I want
to see. It's like having Stan's page for the swaps - it's just nice to
have one spot to go and see what you want to see.

I made some edits to the page - see what you think now. If you don't
like it, well. . . http://css.sbcma.com/timj/pics/fk_ometer.gif ;-)

Kick-ass text.......but the graphics are kinda weak. I dunno......sometimes
it just seems kinda like you don't care......or something.

Anyway, aside from that, looking at the rest of the site, I must say that
disclaimers about ease notwithstanding, you've done a marvelous job. Tis a
far better thing you do than most of us would take the time for......even
had we the inclination and the technical wherewithal.

Um........except for the part where you post pictures other than
mine.......It annoys me, but I
know I'm not justified in being annoyed. They aren't really hurting me.
Still, I don't like it.

Wolfgang
who, looking critically at his own output, is sorely tempted to take up a
career in plagiarism.......um.......hm........who said that? :(

You got a loving family. I had my best friend euthanized. You have a home
worth a gazillion dollars--granted that's Canadian dollars. I live in a
disgarded radio-active, three-sided box made of Teflon (TM--Dupont Corp.).
You're a computer genius. I can't draw a straight line with an
Etch-A-Sketch. You are well liked. I'm not even well...you get the
picture?

Say what! Are you hitting on me? I think that you are hitting on me!

Maybe life has more meaning than I thought?

We call that a "hit" around here.

Okay, .81 gazillion Amerikun.

I live in a disgarded radio-active, three-sided box made of Teflon
(TM--Dupont Corp.).

I've got the other three sides. Do not, I repeat (burritos for lunch), do
NOT touch the orange tape.

You're a computer genius.

Oh, get real. He puts the doze in Windows.

I can't draw a straight line with an Etch-A-Sketch.

Its easy, just lay the Etch-A-Sketch on the paper and put the pencil up
against the side.

You are well liked.

Hell, Timmay died soon after that one Penns he went to. You're responding
to that chimp that writes Shakespeare.

I'm not even well...you get the picture?

Okay, you've got a point. You are definately "not well."

And for you sir, well you will be hearing from my attorneys, yes many of
them, very soon. You remember that mini-creel with the soap bars in it that
you sent me a couple of years ago?

Who the hell imbeds flys with barbed hooks in a bars of SOAP, for
christsake!

I may never be able to have children now!

Sure anyone can make a mistake, I said to myself when I hooked myself in the
testicle, when bathing with the first bar. No problem, I said to myself,
Franks a good guy, well like around ROFF, but there were flys in BOTH bars
of soap. I can't let this one pass, Mister Reid! The second imbedded fly
had to be a deliberate act of Yankee flyfishin'/bathin' terrorism.

Just hope your wiff can knit me a damn nice Afghan woman!

Love,

Mark

Not true. I've got Tim right here chained in the closet. From the looks

BTW, I got your Shakespeare right he

See, see the small sky
Marvel at its big chartreuse depths.
Tell me, Frank Reid do you
Wonder why the pug ignores you?
Why its foobly stare
makes you feel testy.
I can tell you, it is
Worried by your cramtinkle facial growth
That looks like
Cheerios.
What's more, it knows
Your carp potting shed
Smells of snot.
Everything under the big small sky
Asks why, why do you even bother?
You only charm stinky cheeses.
