Wonder why I hardly ever post anything any more?

Best of luck Wangi (said without irony).

Dawyck Botanic Garden.

I was past the other day and they were looking the worse for wear - one was semi-demolished. Any ideas whether there is an ongoing maintenance commitment?

Dakota

Any flickr users here..? There is a group for Portobello photographs, but it's not very active at the minute. Any chance we could make it a really valuable resource for Portobello photos..?

Yes, ecm pointed that out to me earlier today!

Dakota

Now this is really odd because I didn't have any wine! I wonder who you almost spladooshed..? Photos were taken netween 6.15 to 7.00pm.

Dakota

A splendid time was guaranteed for all! My BTOTB Gallery is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/eastdakota99/sets/72157600421594119/ <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eastdakota99/582476547/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1323/582476547_4ddbb007f0.jpg" width="500"...

Bloody buggers have used a few of my photos in that without permission or credit... Commercial use of images without permission..? High-profile development? Send them an invoice. So long as the amount is reasonable, they'll probably calcualte it's easier to pay it than kick up a fuss. I think the E...

Dakota

I like it. It's cheery, easy on the eye, and a wee bit different from other forums that I visit. Good job, guys.

Dakota

And what about Ann Maurice's "Interior Rivalry" on Channel 5? Have you ever seen a more blatant rip-off?

Dakota

Wangi's third design. Very professional-looking.

Dakota

Do you think we could get this design in there somehow?

Dakota

Remember the windsocks? I was browsing through my old photos and came across this:

It needed a bit of Photoshopping, but I hope it captures a mood. Pity the windsocks couldn't have been made permanent.

Dakota

It's awful. Sorry guys. Please go back to something more understated.

Dakota

Confused! Is that the public exhibition that was to be held at the Old Parish Church Hall, Bellfield St 1st Dec 12-8pm and 2nd Dec 10-4?

Dakota

Portobello Online at its best. Thank you to all who replied!

Dakota

After a recent clear-out, I have a suitcase-full of books (etc) that I want to donate to charity -- probably too many to give to one of the local shops. I know there are book-recycling points in Edinburgh, but I haven't a clue where the nearest one is. Any thoughts? East Edinburgh or East Lothian pr...

Phishing filter can slow things down _a bit_ but overall I've found IE7 as fast as IE6. Sorry, Bob.

Dakota

Yeah, I know it's a long time since I've posted. And this is **shameless** self promotion. But, what the hey: My new photography website is here . Feel free to visit. Just a few photos so far, but I'm aiming for around 100 by the end of the year. My old website has gone to the great archive in the s...

The problem is that Youtube has unlimited re-use rights for anything posted on the site (so long as it was posted by the copyright holder). See http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20060727.html for an explanation. [end of rant] Some nice stuff by the Young Marble Giants though, and Die Doraus U...

A bit of everything!! MusicIP builds bizarre and wonderful playlists out of your MP3 library. I just threw an Adam and The Ants track at it and it came back with a playlist featuring T Rex, Bowie, Joy Division, The Jam... You never need to decide what to listen to again. Ooops forgot: Link here http...

Any suggestions for walks of around 5 to 10 miles to start with would be welcome too. We intend, as Sandra says, to try and make it a regular thing to fit in some walking every Sunday. Hope to see others coming along too. http://www.morrice.info/walk/musselburgh.html That must be about at least 6 m...

Walking home in the fog today, Figgate Park was just gorgeous. More photos here

Dakota

No I don't mind at all. I agree the b/w is stunning.

Dakota

Never realised when I took this shot that i was capturing a little piece of history. Remember the days when then were two bus shelters there..?

Dakota

You win, Wangi!

How so clear..? Surely not handheld? Mine was shot at 800ASA (as fast as my digital goes) but was hampered by being a relatively slow lens -- f2.8.

Yeah, I agree with Bob. Adobe Acrobat is insisting on updating itself today. Just let it do its business...

Dakota

I won't miss it. My ageing Citroen Saxo used to dislike the petrol... Somehow, the engine never ran smoothly after filling up there. (I wish I was making that up.)

What happened, Bob?

Dakota

Good suggestion, thanks Bob.

However, for friends and family who have no connection with Portobello, what about http://www.oxfamunwrapped.com/

Vinyl

Ahh ... I get all mushy-eyed!

There's no romance in CDs. And MP3s...? I can't even be certain they'll play on my next computer.

And BTW: John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band

Dakota

Thank you for the suggestion.

Unfortunately, it didn't work, but it's what the helpline told me to do too! Seems my box is faulty, and they're sending someone out.
