Out of Focus and off topic...

Calina · 2009-01-12 20:00:10

DeV has gifted us this off topic thread idea from Poker for general chat/offtopic/banter type thread. So here it is. I'd stick a virtual bar in the corner but I think a few of our users are underage, so the bar is that way and the juice bar and cafe are this other way. Want to mouth off about photography, say nice things,…

I have just tried to use the "thumbs up" button to say "thank you" to some posters for their photos and ideas, but it is not working.

Is there a problem at the moment with signing in?

I think there's a limit of 10-20 thanks per day, could that be it?

Thanks for making me laugh, Kyle.

I doubt it. Gratitude brought to such extremes would be scary...

There is a limit. Can't remember what it is but it does exist.

Friend of mine posted this link today on FB. A few good photos, and some interesting costs for different countries.

Well, after 5 months of waiting and stressing and not knowing what the feck was going on with my future, (a mess up with married/single names) I finally heard from tallaght IT today. I've been accepted into third year of the creative multimedia degree, which is a little bit scary since I'll be doing photography as well as digital media and I've never taken a photography class in my life. Not to mention television, which I know zip about and will be doing till 4th year. But don't tell them that.

I register tomorrow. Any offers of luck much appreciated!

You should.. it's a pity people are so fixated with this clip, as overall, it is a good film. The main actress Alexandra Maria Lara, is great in it. Juliane Köhler is memorable too, as a *cough* slightly manic, Eva Braun.

Very creepy mood in the film, well captured.

Sony released a DVD called 'Blind Spot' in 2003, interviews with Hitler's secretary, Traudl Junge, on which Downfall was based.

Traudl Junge passed away in February, 2002. Amazing documentary.

If you live in Dublin, you can hire out Blind Spot from Laser Video, on Sth. Gt. George's Street.

Sometimes it might be useful to link up with the Digital Art and Design Forum:

With the evening courses starting up again, sharing links to useful classes might help us all?

I'm on TV.

was out an Blanchardstown District Court today to take photos of the two lads up on charges of possession of €3million worth of Coke (I'm in the Gray T-shirt - watch what happens after exchanging words with the two guys...I think its class)

Feckin' well deserved.
