Lady Jane Grey Upside Down

Hi All,

So we've finally got a fairly decent digital camera.  Expect to see
pictures of my kitties showing up on alt.binaries.pictures.animals.
Here's a picture of my Lady Jane Grey imitating a keyboard.  If you're
curious, the pictures above the monitor are(from left to right) my
Smokey showing off his fourteen-inch tail, Smokey hiding under a rug
and playing with a peacock feather, yours truly and DH, and my friends
from Florida -- Marianne and Joe.

The picture is posted with this message on rbpa as well as
rec.pets.cats.anecdotes.  My server is slow to upload binaries, so
look for it in eight hours or so.

Regards and Purrs,
O J

Congrats on the new camera. Looking forward to lots of pics of your
gang, as there are never enough cat piccies.

Just a suggestion, so feel free to ignore this. I haven't looked at
the binary group yet (usually download that group while reading this
one, since it takes longer). At a guess, though, part of the reason it
took so long to upload the pic is that you may not have reduced the
size. Seems that most cameras take really big pictures, which you can
reduce in size for computer viewing without losing much.

If my guess is right, ask over in the other group and you'll get
several suggestions on the best size, as well as people's favorite
software for doing it. I don't have a digital camera, so I'll let the
more experienced folks talk about the software, but for me the best
size for wallpaper/slide shows seems to run between 800x600 to
1024x768. Much smaller, and the pic leaves lots of open space on the
screen, or is distorted by stretching to fill the screen. Much larger
is just wasted space as it's downsized anyway to fit.

Thanks Steve,

I know better, but I did post it without reducing it -- just forgot.

Regards and Thanks,

It finally showed up on the Usenet Replayer - she's beautiful!  Was
she helping you type?

Be-yoo-tiful!! What luxurious fur. She looks very much at home destroying
your keyboard with cat fur. :)

While looking for LJG, I noticed some other photos, called "Tash and
Max". Very cute kitties, and whoever took those photos belongs on this
ng!! :)

I thank you as Lady Jane thanks you.  She's the Grande Dame of the
household.  We tend to let her get away with things the others aren't
allowed to.  At TWENTY years old (as best as we can figure) we think
she deserves it.

Absolutely!  What great pictures.  I'll try to drop them a line today
-- several follow-ups might work even better.

We should get Nottles on too. I never think of dropping invites. Good idea.

I just posted an invitation to Wilba as well as any other cat fanciers
as a follow-up to: 'Tash and Max, 6 of 9" on
alt.binaries.pictures.animals.  You never know, we might get lucky and
find another treasure like Baha who, I'm *very* proud to say, found us
through an invitation of mine. (waves -- Hi, Baha)

ah ha, I knew there was a fairly recent arrival who that you had
invited to join the group, but couldn't come up with a name. But, once
you supplied the name I got a chuckle out of remembering the great ham
sandwich caper. You did a good job getting Baha, and hope a couple of
the regulars over in in the binary group check us out.

Oh, I didn't know that! Both of you are great assests to this group,
so I'm not surprised you're also friends.

I think you must have missed the article I wrote called, "Potential
Recruit Sighted on alt.cats.world.domination."  I posted that one here
and followed up Baha's article on  a.c.w.d with an invitation.
Thankfully, Baha took us up on it and joined the newsgroup.  Here's
the old article.  You may remember Baha's first post about the ham
sandwich.

I'd be proud to call Baha a friend any time, but we've only met
through rpca.  I think it's a good idea though, if you see someone who
seems as if they would fit in, to extend an invitation.

Actually I've been working on another person from alt.tv.highlander. Her name
is Susan, we email a bit.
