one of these days we're going to add a search function to this forum so people can search for "terms" and see if there have been posts about something in the past..

Looks as if it's going to be a very neat thing.
At the moment it's weighted to urban settings: using the postal code of a Toronto suburb, the listings are for downtown Toronto.

Very nice!


If one has, say, a wide image but short (or a tall but narrow) the only way to 'splice' out a big chunk is by repeated small splices.

yep, these work now and are quite useful.

I should have been explicit about what I hoped to imply, viz. I see no need, in CHS, for keys tied to individual clips.

CHS is jolly useful!

Oh, I don't know.  Aren't degrees of affection, as tested by a snogometer, measured in hertz?

-rjbull (May 24, 2010, 04:48 PM)

There's  some question about that, especially if the degree is only a third.

-cranioscopical (May 24, 2010, 06:57 PM)

Clearly, those would be the black hertz.

PS I did consider loading Vista Ultimate on their iMac but can't see them using a dual-boot setup and doubt they'd enjoy running Windows as a VM. Thoughts?

Can't beat 'em. At least not with today's human rights legislation.
I once had a debutante as a secretary. Her spelling was so bad that her most frequent complaint was that "something is wrong with this dictionary!"
