Photo Forum / Film Photography / 35 mm / October 2005any room for a newbie in here?
I am new to this forum as I only recently found it. My Wife and I are avid film shooters, she only a year and me since 1982 when I bought my 1st Canon AE1 at the age of 12. Now we have a fair collection of older Canon's and use mainly F1's ,A1's, AE1's and an AT1 as our main equipment. The ol F1 is pretty well brassed up but is still right on the money though is needs a back rub and maybe a few seals. I shoot Tmax 100 B&W as well as Velvia 50 or 100. Too bad 50 Velvia will be leavings us soon. We are located in SE Idaho which is a great place for the hobby. I am a Union Operator for my main job 4days per week which leaves me 3 days to shoot pictures. Anyway, not to talk your ears off, but I hope to chat in here from time to time.

I guess the real problem is server storage space. These things take up a lot of it. If you don't download everything on the list, it won't bother the individual posters any. So if I were to post say, a 5 megapixel photograph, and nobody downloaded it, no one would care. But the server would still have to hold it for N days, so it would cost someone money........ >>>>I believe Alan means post LINKS to images.

I think anyone using a dial-up connection (probably still a sizeable percentage, outside the USA) would curse you pretty swiftly if you posted 5Mb binaries. I know I would have before I got broadband. Not everyone gets to or chooses to look at file details before downloading. David SignatureDavid Littlewood >>>>>I believe Alan means post LINKS to images.

It would be good if the size of the file automatically came with the subject line......I wonder if that would be possible? >> I think anyone using a dial-up connection (probably still a sizeable >> percentage, outside the USA) would curse you pretty swiftly if you posted [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >Yes.

Any newsreader can tell you the number of lines in a post (it is contained in the header). If the newsreader understand yEnc, it will also be able to tell you the approximate size of the attached file, without having to download any of the body. Most newsreaders do allow you to filter posts by size, specified in lines if not in kilobytes. None of this is a reason for posting a binary file in a non-binary newsgroup, because every news server in the world will still need the extra disk space for your post. -Mike >> Yes.

Thanks......I also have a different problem. Recently, I have been getting a lot (well, one or two a day) emails that are completely blank. No subject line, no sender address. When I check up on the "properties" It tells me that they do not conform to some protocol standard called "RFC822". Do you have any idea what this means? > OK.

RFC 822: ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc822.txt Replaced by RFC 2822: ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc2822.txt Offhand guess? Somebody (who has your email address) is trying out spam software, and doesn't have it set up right. Ignore/delete unless it keeps up.

RFC 822 - Standard for the format of ARPA Internet text messages http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc822.html Probably means someone from AOL is trying to send you HTML email & it's getting bounced. > Would not work. on my system at least; I log on to the server, the posts > come down, then I get to look at them.

Fortunately, broadband makes this >>seconds instead of the previous many minutes. > > hmm.. but that is mostly the function of the client you use, not a > limitation from the server With dialup it makes sense to set your client so that you download complete message contents rather than only the default headers, that way you can mosey through the messages off-line without tying up the phone. That also avoids the annoying 1/2 second delay in downloading each message. I think David is only downloading headers and the time to download each message is negligible. My ISP does not include attachments in non-binary groups but where that's allowed my client shows how big the contents are or I can simply abort and move to the next message if it's big & I'm dialing through the cell phone or something. The only place it would be an issue is if I was downloading all message contents blindly so I could read them off-line. In that case I wouldn't know what was wrong and the stupidly slow cell connection could take forever to download, effectively ruining my reading experience. >>>Would not work. on my system at least; I log on to the server, the >>>posts come down, then I get to look at them.

No, David is downloading complete messages only, not headers, and did the same when on dial-up. In the old days, the time to download hundreds of posts was interminable.

All decent news readers will tell you how many lines are in a post when the headers are downloaded. Scrap OE and get a real news reader.... some are free. Here is one of several........ http://www.forteinc.com/agent/index.php If you decide not to buy it, the program reverts to the free version after 30 days. Try it, it cost nothing.

Yes. Thanks for the clarification. And snip replies and don't top post. Big problem if you top post.

Always room for a newbie to the group! Sounds like you have a wonderful location for scenic pictures around where you live, and a nice job structure to leave you lots of opportunity. If you don't mind my asking, what exactly do you Operate? I take "Union" to mean union member, rather than being part of the job title, leaving only "operator", which I've known applied to people who run batch jobs on mainframe computers and people who handle phone calls for customers, and with modifiers for lots of other even more unrelated jobs.

I am a union member and I operate equipment. I am in a good location for photography. My wife and I can run spur of the monent day runs to Yellowstone, G. Teton, Targee N F, Salmon River, The Sawtooths, and much more. We are 6hrs to Glacier NP and the same to central Utah. Thx all of you for the welcome. F1 |
