Wongo in Melbourne

[Wood Borer]

$400 and something fine and 12 months walking. A trip to court for dangerous speed if the copper can be bothered with the reams of paperwork. The result wouldn't be any better.

It is still too light. The consequences if something went wrong are too high. The fine and punishment should reflect the potential consequences.

I acted like a goose and I got off lightly.

Wood Borer,
Just so you can feel properly remorsefull I have increased your penalty by $1000, please mail it to me immediately so you can lose your guilt trip.

To all and sundry,
The next BBQ will be on woodborer when he coughs up the loot!!

"How to make bigger piccys while still keeping the 75 dpi bullsht thing happening."

Download a program called Gimp from http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html

You need to download the 2 files, GTK+2 and Gimp. Install them both.

Start Gimp.
Open up your JPG file.
Choose File/Save As from the menu.
Give your picture a new name but keep the .jpg and press ok.
A window will pop up called 'Save as JPEG'
Tick the 'Preview in Image Window' checkbox
Using the 'Quality Slider' slowly move it to the left until the size is less than 100k. The size is shown under the 'Preview in Image Window' checkbox.
Once it is less than 100k, press ok.

I've attached two images that I've squished (reduced the quality). They are of the same original picture but one is cropped and the other isn't

BreeKaneCropped.jpg Original: 443k Reduced Quality: 96k (around 75%)
BreeKaneFull.jpg Original: 569k Reduced Quality: 97k (around 50%)

Both images still look quite good but are not usable for printing.

You are all welcome whenever you hit town.

I will send you cheque for $1000 soon Bob, just keep looking out for it.

For those interested in the NEXT ONE, jow 104 is coming over from the UK and will be at my place on 29 January.
I will place a post closer to the date.
Plenty of room for tents, caravans etc if anyone wants to come.
We are about 75km SE of Melb, BYO own bag and I will even donate rose food (horse crap).

[Wood Borer]

Iain,

I am looking forward to it but I can't get there too early or stay overnight because of pre bookings.

No doubt you will send us directions when the time is closer.

[ozwinner]

PS I'll be happy to be the next to come and p!ss on your lemon tree. When I get the time.

That will be great for Robs lemon tree.
Just make sure you eat plenty of sulphur before you go.
I hear copper sulphate is good for curly leaf.

Sorry, couldnt help myself.

Is there a common theme creeping into these BBQ's??:confused:

firstly there is the suggestion of hot air/bull at WoodBorers; and now not to be outdone, Iain is already planning plenty of horsecrap.!!

Yep; those lemon trees etc should do well.

But damn; if attendees have to take a bag with them it's either going to be a big meeting or lots of tall tales told. Must be something like the old fisherman tales. The more refreshment, the bigger the fish.

Pity you are so far away Iain.
Ken.

[Iain]

I'm not far away, you are
BYO tent if you wish, will post later anyway, just after Xmas.

Well not without further degradation to image quality.
