July
Author: GremlinI know: I’m late. It’s like this….
First, there’s this historically standing rule that, if you’re at the show, you’re probably on the website. Then there’s an additional, subsequent allowance that, if you’re at the show and shouldn’t be, I can avoid uploading shots of you to the site, so long as I hear about it in advance, because, historically, I was the only one getting shots of anything. Then that’s convoluted by everyone on the planet, currently, having at least a phonecam and an account at facebook.com, rendering everything kinda meaningless.
Still, if someone’s not supposed to leave a trail of evidence of having been at the show, I can make an effort personally to limit at least the shots I’d got of him.
So let’s add a complication. My computer puked hard recently. Hard enough in fact that talking to it, reasoning with it, threatening it, and using words like apple at it made no difference; what made a slight difference, if not immediately, was giving up and replacing it. Which gives me a neat new computer running 64Bit Windoze7 on a quadcore somethingorother but, for the immediate future, no access to terabytes of drives and their contents; in a real way, I’m currently limited to whatever percentage of eighty gigs isn’t already lost to the operating system; that doesn’t leave massive oodles of room for Photoshop and LightWave and everything else I expect to use every five minutes for various things.
So now I’ve got a bunch of images from July, some including people who shouldn’t be included, and no good way to spend whatever amount of time editing each image to exclude people who should be excluded.
Somewhere in there, I’ve been slammed with unrelated stuff for the last few days. And there’s kinda no end in sight for all that. So, for the moment at least, I’ve just gone through the images I’d got on Friday, held back the ones containing things you’re not allowed to see, and uploaded the rest. Maybe that’s good enough. If not, I can look into doing things correctly once I’ve got time and space and Photoshop and so on.
Meanwhile, here’s what survived: http://www.denverrockyhorror.com/main/2010/08/03/images20100730.
Of course, that’s just my stuff [some of it kinda sucks, since I was making a realtime effort to exclude people InCam]; somewhere out there, there are other images from other DigiCams which I haven’t seen yet, probably including shots of people we’re not supposed to be including; whenever I see those, if I don’t have to remove people, if I’ve got Photoshop up and running at the time…at some point, those’ll probably be here too. One way or another.
On the bright side, staggering things like this kinda gives the site more of a reason to exist apart from the end of every month; otherwise, while we could have midmonth posts counting down to the next show, that’s about all they’d be as of now. I’ve actually been thinking a bit about expanding the site’s purpose and having more updates than the twelve per year you can currently expect; so far, that’s purely about thinking, so there’s not much more to say about it yet.
Still: stick around. Or at the least hook up with us through facebook.com and twitter.com to hear about updates as they happen.
