I have an old Televue Pronto (discontinued now) which makes a fine spotting scope / 480mm f6.8 telephoto (it’s also a very nice astronomy scope).

It is a bit heavy (solid metal OTA) and for serious photographic work, I’d probably get the field flattener. It requires a decent tripod and head.

I addition to Schnee 3.0, I’ve started my new job. We don’t even have an office yet – yesterday, we met in a bar! All day! How awesome is that.

Dude, that rules!

Tomorrow, we’re meeting in a library…I’m not in favor of this trend…

Zeke is correct, someday, I may say “eh, fuggit”, but that day isn’t today.

The FSM ain’t going away in the foreseeable future. I’m somewhat proud of what I did there and like to point at it when relevant. Someday, when I get a new computer, I may decide that moving the FSM would be too much work to move, but that day isn’t on the horizon.

I actually have more plans for the FSM, but no time. I addition to Schnee 3.0, I’ve started my new job. We don’t even have an office yet – yesterday, we met in a bar! All day! How awesome is that. Anyway, I really don’t want the community to be dependent on me enhancing the FSM to support anything. I think that would just lead towards an endstate filled with resentment, which is no fun at all.

Take the FSM for what it is: a service that maintains historical Fark.com data and displays it in what is a hopefully useful manner.

Let us not use the FSM as the canonical reference. As veruca points out, it is “an independent 3rd party website created by a farktography enthusiast for supplemental reference.” Fark is the canonical reference for data. Farktography.net calls the contest after ~24 hours, declaring a winner. If the Farktography.net winner isn’t the actual total vote getter (because of votes coming in after 24 hours), well, that just adds to the controversy.

[schnee]

Don’t worry ‘mofo, should I ever get off my duff, I’ve got a scoring system guaranteed to inject controversy into every contest. Staplerdome would be a weekly follow-up to Farktography.

/not really
//well, sort of

Hey, we went over 3000 farktographers today! Yeah for us! Once I get back to the SchneeWorld corporate HQ, I’ll figure out who the lucky farktog is.

[schnee]

what PPG said, kaitou. Stay away from strangers with staplers.

/stay away from me, too. Your F2.8L is a sweet lens.

[schnee]

Waits in eager anticipation for this project to wrap up.

[schnee]

Why is it that the longer the name of a language is, the slower and more bloated it’s code is? Think about it…

In about 5 days, I’m starting a new job with a new company (that you’ve all heard of). The legacy software is written in C++. Eh, it pays the bills.

Regrettably, the FSM didn’t factor into the hiring decision.

jUploader?

jUploadr? jUploadr!? Hmm. There’s hope for you yet, Z.

On the how to participate page, there’s a broken image.

Attached is an image of the broken image. I imagine that I have the necessary permissions to fix this, but I’m not sure what the fix is.

it was my suggestion and inspiration. i accept full responsibility for the dearth of entries.

/had nothing either

Get’m boys!

*hops on a motorcycle and charges schnee while twirling a chain over his head*

Uh…. I just got back from viewing the thread. What I said up there, nevermind.
