No booze? Oh that's just a travesty! I'd boycott it, tell them you're busy watching the Morgan Cup Viewing Party!

I have one on Saturday night too...but there will be tons of booze there and it's people I don't know so I can get as hammered as I want to!

I have one Saturday night as well. Tons of booze, and tons of folks I know. I will be drinking regardless.
 
My wife's co party cancelled this year. Too bad as her's is like a wedding reception.

My co party is not even worth considering. Truly a snooze fest. Our new director wants us all to go...time to teach her the limits of her influence on me.
 
budget cut backs

Definitely have a flask as a backup plan.

It's one of those 'strongly recommended optional mandatory' co events man

It was tradition. It was a once a year thing for four years until she got married! haha

pre or post marriage smallie? I wont tell! :|

Very pre, by about six years. And not this marriage! This was back in the '80s.
 
Well we have been pretty swamped at work. Which means I haven't had as much time for THP as I would have liked. Sorry Ladies and Gents for my slow down in activity. November is over, now I can focus on the important things... THP! On a good note I did sell 10 cars in 9 days! The month started out slow but ended strong! Yippee... Got my MC 2.0 (if I'm picked) and my outing $$! :clapp:
 
i just found out the tiniest of tree branches can drastically alter the flight of my golf ball... x4
 
GPP Golf's Facebook had a link to golf wrx's site saying they are testing yellow prototype Titleist balls and it included the pics that were from this site. The stolen pics even had their watermark on them. When I pointed it out someone tried defending them saying its not their fault. Ok. Give me a break, give credit where credit is due.

Edit: ever heard of copyright infringement?
 
Jeff: becomes very evident why THP honors embargo dates, huh? Slimy fellows at some places I tell you. Anything for a story including stealing photos.


Tappin' from my iPad!
 
Yea I know, just pisses me off and turns people away in my opinion. I've never been a member there and will not because of things like this and other stories I've heard.

Note to self: Find a way to watermark all pictures with what website I'm originally posting them.
 
Maybe JB could chime in here. Any way you guys could watermark pictures we upload, or guide us as to how to watermark them ourselves? I would put something like "Photo by Jeff Conner, for The Hackers Paradise" or "Photo by Jeff Conner, for THP".

I realize it may be too much work for you guys to do so I would prefer the second option. Is watermarking difficult? Sorry I haven't looked into it.

You can do it in Photoshop rather easily.

You'd have to watermark it since you are hosting the picture.

I know it's easy to do if you have Photoshop, but it might be tougher with a free program. But I think any watermarking would need to be done by the individual members as they see fit.
 
Cool. I do have Photoshop, I will figure it out next week (once I'm done with finals).

Yea I figured the individual uploading should be the one to watermark it, I was just curious. I guess if THP watermarked all photos uploaded it would not only take a ton of work, they could end up doing what the "other site" did which was the point of this rant in the first place.

Thanks guys.
 
Got stood up tonight...she could have at least texted me something. Fun times! /sigh

Ouch. I would not be a happy camper. I got married so I will never get stood up. But now I wish I could just have a dinner alone.
