i have a circular polarizer and can’t tell the difference between photos using it and photos not using it. Obviously the above photo is cool looking, but I only have one polarizer.

what the heck is it for? (I got it in a set of filters, but there were no directions).

I’m not really the best one to talk about it, so here’s a simple little site explaining it as used on normal digital camera with ever so helpful side by side comparisons.

Elsinore: The tag was designed by 1TBat10000RPM

Maybe we could have more contests instead of trying to trim down the ones we already have? If we bumped it up to 6-8 contests per month or whatever maybe people wouldn’t feel as obligated to enter the max in each. Of course, we’re hard pressed for themes as is, so it’s a stupid idea.

I just keep thinking that if it just gets a little more popular it’ll be given a tag, a home and all that comes with it. I’m not sure where the line between persistence and pestering is so I don’t really farkback much, but maybe that’s what it’ll take. I don’t know. It just seems that most of these problems will go away once it’s full assimilated into fark.

If you’ll excuse me, I believe the tooth fairy is in my room and santa in my chimney and I’d hate to keep them waiting.

Maybe we could ask no one to post until it’s greenlighted.

I don’t know how Drew would feel about it, since TFers are given a huge advantage in Photoshop contests, but it might be worth asking.

If we could get half of the regulars to do it that should be enough to make a difference.

I think it’s fine too.

Wow, two clicks through Wikipedia and i get this:

and this

and a whole lot more.

Now it makes sense, thanks.

Is there anything you guys don’t know?
I’m always amazed.

[staplermofo]

i think i enter some really great stuff that everyone will love and i get a resounding ‘meh’ via the votes.

I thought that only happened to me… 😉

Happened to me every time I had the slightest bit of confidence in my post. I guess the flying spaghetti monster can’t have us getting cocky.

Just got home from work and posted my three pics, and I see there’s already 230-something posts ahead of mine. Seeing this and the “I’m impressed” post from pre-11PM last night makes me wonder exactly how up against a wall Fark Freebie folks like me are.

Do you TFers vote before going to bed, possibly before the contest even hits Fark Cheapskate’s front page, and not go back? Do you wait till first thing in the morning and never go back, or do you check in at night and then revisit later when the cheapskates have a chance to participate and see if they contributed anything worth voting for?

The wall is pretty huge. I try not to vote until 10AM or so, but the waiters are a minority.

For what it’s worth, here’s a break up of how people have looked at the thread (from my site’s monitor, divide by 3 for page hits, add three hours for fark time)
Jun/ 7/06 5:00 PM? 6:00 PM 324
Jun/ 7/06 6:00 PM? 7:00 PM 341
Jun/ 7/06 7:00 PM? 8:00 PM 270
Jun/ 7/06 8:00 PM? 9:00 PM 285
Jun/ 7/06 9:00 PM?10:00 PM 1014
Jun/ 7/06 10:00 PM?11:00 PM 2820
Jun/ 7/06 11:00 PM?12:00 AM 1339
Jun/ 8/06 12:00 AM? 1:00 AM 611

So, while some (most?) of the voting is done before green-lighting, most of the views come after it.
Then there are the people who vote (or don’t, in that copyright issue debacle) for all the wrong reasons.

So, even if you don’t get #1, rest assured that I’m (and probably quite a few others) a big fan of your stuff.

That said, TF is worth the $5 if you post more than 10x/week.

Ooh ooh, I love guessing.

Is the one on the left GalleyWench?

I’m not going so I would love to see pictures.

Drew is everything he’s cracked up to be and more.
He’s friendly, patient, insightful, charming, hilarious, he remembers stuff about you (like that I called into a radio show he was on months ago); very down to earth and awesome. He’s also the only person not to whine about my flash.
(why people stare right into the flash then complain about being blinded is beyond me… Do they do this with the sun when I’m not around?)

The party was much crazier in person, it was totally packed.

And the guy posed naked because I was asking people to pose sexually with a stapler. Most of the time they’ll shove it down their pants or stick their tongue out suggestively at it, he went to a bathroom stall, dropped his pants and did what you see in the picture. He’s a really nice guy that goes to Burning Man, if that helps it make more sense.

If you’ve never been to one, fark parties are worth going to even if you have to travel out of state.

Anybody going to the Texas BBQ fark party?

If you just want the good stuff:

Staplers on a mother-farking Drew.

Is there a link to this hot deal m’dear?

That was it. You put up to 100 4x6s in your cart then apply coupon code GM85RS36 in checkout.

[staplermofo]

Got nuthin!

And by that I mean I really don’t have anything, i.e. I don’t think I have a stapler in the house.

The wife said she’d bring home a stapler from her office (official government-issued stapler, ooh la la) but has not yet delivered.

Aw shucks. You should have let me known man, I’d’ve hooked you up.
