This could be a real roller coaster, eh Warhead?
Posted by WarHead, 4 years ago:
 
Yes, the suspense is killing me.

I cannot believe it is March already. Bloody hell.

Just going off at a tangent for a minute, the latest Charlatans album is available for free download from XFM Manchester here.
Posted by WarHead, 4 years ago:
 
And going off at another tangent, Paul Raymond has snuffed it (link goes to a BBC Player news artcicle). Just think, without him the pr0n industry wouldn't have become what it is today.

Syl, have you been getting your gazongas out in protest?
Posted by syl, 4 years ago:
 
I would have liked to have gone today, but I have month-end. If it had been during the month I would have gone. I think the taxi drivers behaviour is disgusting. The taxi drivers here are dangerous thugs and nobody messes with them. :(

"I have month-end."

sounds like another euphamism for "the communists are round for tea"
Posted by WarHead, 4 years ago:
 
Dude, is that a Redi-ism?
Posted by che, 4 years ago:
 
Perhaps, but it was Arsepuppy that introduced that particular euphamism to iamcal I think.
Posted by Redmaiden, 4 years ago:
 
The Communists round for tea is in my official period vocab - FACT!
I can't bring myself to use Rosie's "Monkey has a nosebleed" though

Mightiest am I,
but I am not alone in this cosmos of mine.
For the black hills consists of black souls,
souls that already dies one thousand deaths.
Behind the stone walls (of centuries) they breed their black art.
Boiling their spells in cauldrons of black gold.

Far up in the mountains,
where the rain fall not far,
yet the Sun cannot reach.
The wizards, my servants,

summon the souls of macrocosm.
No age will escape my wrath.
I travel through time and I return to the future.
I gather wisdom now lost.
I visit again the eternally ancient caves,
before a mighty Emperor thereupon came.
Watching the mortals "discovering" my chronicles, guarded
by the old demons, even unknown to me.

Once destroyed their souls are being summoned
to my timeless prison of hate.
It is delightful to feast upon the screaming souls
that were destroyed in my future.

How many wizards that serve me with evil, I know not.
My empires has no limits.

From the never ending mountains black, to the bottomless lakes.
I am the ruler and has been for eternities long.
I am them.

(I am them.)
(I am them.)

From the never ending mountains black, to the bottomless lakes.
I am the ruler and has been for eternities long.
My wizards are many, but their essence is mine.
Forever they are in the hills in their stone homes of grief.
Because I am the spirit of their existence.
I am them.

I am them.
I am them.
Posted by Uncle Moc, 4 years ago:
 
ooops. Sorry about that.
Posted by WarHead, 4 years ago:
 
So you should be.

souls that already dies one thousand deaths.


Surely, that should either be 'die' or 'died.'

I am the ruler and has been for eternities long.


So, are you saying you're a 'has been' or did you mean 'have been.'

I think we should be told.

That's the best thing about '93 norweigan black metal. It's all in the most fantastic broken english. That song is called "I AM THE BLACK WIZARDS!!".

However, I was in a fairly incoherent state of mind when I posted that. So I didn't really get much of a chance to check the grammar.
Posted by WarHead, 4 years ago:
 
Well, it makes more sense than Soulja Boy, so I suppose I shouldn't complain.

I'm messing around with oembed on flickr - not seeing a way to specify which size of the image I want to embed. I tried some combinations of changing the URL and maxwidth/maxheight settings in the request, but to no avail.

I tried:
www.flickr.com/services/oem...
www.flickr.com/services/oem...
www.flickr.com/services/oem...

All three return the same thing:

1.0

Crowley in an intense photohunt
mike.panchenko
www.flickr.com/photos/mikep...
3600
Flickr
www.flickr.com
500
375

farm2.static.flickr.com/121...



Are we not there yet?

I was thinking of making a flickr oembed wordpress plugin. It'll still work, but will be limited to the one size.

Is there a way to work this? Would it be possible to set up server side logic @flickr which actually checks the /sizes/foo part of the URL and returns the appropriate URL/size info? I haven't thought about it long (and it's late) but that seems to be in line with the standard - would only have to change the url GET var in the request, putting all the logic on the providers side and just spitting out the right image.

Cheers.

Mike.
