<P>It's not the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but any more when i bang

my head, it hurts.. Hope you like-</P>

Hmmm - although it's not exactly a concert shot, my absolute

favourite is the one of Tim Mason with his daughter. Because it's a

warm and loving portrait and maybe because I love adorable old

hippies :)

Lots of atmosphere in all the pics, and that's what counts IMO (not

saying that theyB4re poor quality, because obviously theyB4re not)

[christel_green1]

Allan Engelhardt where are you!!? Why do my "'s" look like "B4s"?

[Tony Rowlett]

Well done! I also like the atmosphere of these shots. The portraits

have a warm, pleasant feel, and they portray lots of personality in

heir subjects.

[wayne_harrison]

yeah, that *is* a neat shot of the guy and his daughter. she is

indeed a striking young lady. oh, btw, christel, thanks for the kind

words concerning "old hippies".

[chris_y.]

Yes, I love that shot of Tim and Ruby - the print from that negative

is scary- When i get some time next week I'll post a better

scan... That was taken with the old 1st generation EOS 70-210 F4 lens-

probably F8... very much a grab shot- Its funny, Tim's a poet- one of

his rants starts "Old hippies piss me off..."

[Spearhead]

I'm with Christel, that shot of a guy with his daughter is it. The

others are OK, maybe I'm waiting for something as transcendent as

Jenny Lens' photo of Patti Smith on her back on stage with a guitar.

<p>I'm here. Was in Dublin for the week with limited internet

access. Lost my T5 only to learn that they don't produce it anymore.

Sad.

 

<p>I see it is time to tell the Story of the Quotes. This is somewhat

off-topic so please feel free to ignore. The chances of me getting

the HTML right without preview are pretty slim...

 

<p>In the beginning, there was the quotation mark (", ",

") and the apostrophe (', ') and the world was

a happy and peaceful place.

 

<p>Then there appeared the dreadded gravè (`, `)

and accute (´, &180;) accents and the world decended into

confusion.

 

<p>Chaos reigned, and mighty giants walked the Earth. They included

the terrible four-some: left- and right-, single- and double quote

(, , , ) and the fearsome brothers low left

single- and double quotes (, ).

 

<p>These are terrible times indeed.

 

<p>But back to your problem: B4 hexadecimal is 180 decimal. And the

ASCII character with code 180 is, as we mentioned, the acute accent

(´). So, my guess would be that you have changed your keyboard

mapping so that the key labled with an apostrophe (', ASCII 39)

sends an acute accent (ASCII 180) instead. The browser will convert

this into hex (something like <code>%B4</code> when it transmits it to

Phil's little script which must ignore the <code>%</code> when it

saves the message.

 

<p>The solution is to send an apostrophe when you want an apostrophe

and use <code>´</code> when you want an acute accent.

 

<p>How do you change the keyboard mapping? I don't know -- it depends

on your operating system. Windows has a control-panel thing that

changes the whole mapping, but I don't think you can modify individual

keys like you can on Unix. If you use unix, then check out

<code>xmodmap</code>.

 

<p>This was probably a lot more information than you wanted?

[allan engelhardt]

Testing it's versus itB4s. If my theory is right, then the last part

should appear as itB4s....

[allan engelhardt]

<p>Yes!! :-) I used an ´ for the second "apostrophe" and wrote

<tt>it´s</tt>.

 

<p>End of off-topic section. We apologise for the interruption and

return to the scheduled broadcast on People Photography with your host

Shawn Gibson.

[christel_green1]

Allan - *sniff* - that was truly moving! I never realised the

historical significance of the apostrophe.

 

<p>

 

I use Windows, and as you can imagine, I'm having problems - a lot of

configurations have mysteriously changed themselves lately - such as

my prized collection of Monty Python sound effects being replaced

with default noises etc. It's no surprise to me if the keyboard

configuration has been changed as well. IB4ve tried re-installing

Windows, but no luck - I'll just have to keep my hands off that key.

Sorry Chris ;\
