Little Profile Picture Wotsits

[Mouse]

Right, I'm giving in and asking a bloody stupid question:

How do I get one to work? All the picture I've tried to use before have all been too big, or something. Hurl a stale Jaffa Cake at my head for being such an embarrassment. Once you've done that, could anyone help with some instructions or summink?

Cheers! (Returns to Jaffa Cake-proof and technology free bunker)

But remember the maximum dimensions of the image are:
width: 150 pixels, height: 150 pixels, file size: 195.31 KB.

If you try to upload anything bigger it won't work. Which means you have to shrink the image first on yer computta. Sometimes saving it in a different format (jpeg is pretty small) does the trick.

As for shrinking-software, if you're on a pc, I recommend IrfanView as a free and easy  package

Software on your computer is so 2008.. you could use this:

It is pretty simple and you don't have to install anything on your computer.

Or were you just poking at Mouse with a stick?  And can I join in?

                                                   ..........it's so easy to do this, if you've got a Mac

Well, I was just going to say...

                                                   ..........it's so easy to do this, if you've got a Mac ;)

Is that why all the simple-minded people I know use macs? (;-)

I told you that I'd started a war!  :shock:

Cheers guys! Let's have a go and see what happens...

[Mouse]

And just for the record, there is one little redeeming feature about Macs I actually do like - that little camera above the screen that allows you to take pictures of people and superimpose it against fish or the Moon or something. Pointless little fun additions are fun!  

[Mouse]

Yes! I am victorious! Victor-o-o-ious!

Cheers wonderful Frost*ies! This deserves Mr. Green!  :mrgreen:

Of course- That's it!

Now I know why my copies of Logic and Archicad say: "For decoration only."

I've always felt there was something very mocking about the title of Logic. Like "if you don't have great logic, don't even bother with this one".

[Geetar]

Given that the developers were a bunch of Germans trying to get the best of both pattern and track based sequencing, I'd say the title was, quite literally, a logical choice. I really think you have to take these things in context.

I've a fair number of German friends, and I have to say that their positively Vulcan take on the universe can, at times, be both bracing and unnerving.
