Author Topic: Josh's ever-updating forum picture Josh Jones Redhat Posts: 1207 From: Plano, TX Registered: Apr 2000 posted 08-18-2003 06:40 PM                        Well, ok, maybe it wont take a page and a half, But I'll try. Whenever I sit down to right these things, I try and make them meaningful, but that seldom seems to be the case. I dont run to stay in shape really, as I have no more motivation for that. My days of high school track and XC are over, and all i really have left are independant road races. I dont really run for fun either, because when your coming down to the last half mile or so of a hard long run, its really hard to force yourslef to go on. Something just came up. I'll finish this later... JJ  |  IP: Logged Gerard S.

Apropos reasons for running, have you read the short story, "The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner?" Gerard  |  IP: Logged Paul G.

Brad did an excellent job on that.  |  IP: Logged Josh Jones Redhat Posts: 1207 From: Plano, TX Registered: Apr 2000 posted 08-19-2003 12:01 AM                        After a temporary bout with depression, I have rebounded and shall continue... I dont run to stay in shape really, as I have no more motivation for that. My days of high school track and XC are over, and all i really have left are independant road races. I dont really run for fun either, because when your coming down to the last half mile or so of a hard long run, its really hard to force yourself to go on. I run because I believe it make me a better person. It gives me a refuge to blow off a huge amount of steam after shitty days, get some fresh air. There is nothing like coming down to the last 200 meters of a race and knowing you can catch a few people ahead of you. It also seems that with longer races, the satisfaction increases as well. Thats all I have to say for now, and no it isnt quite a page, barely a paragraph. I havent read the book, but there is a song by iron maiden called just that. JJ  |  IP: Logged Paul G.

I've been there - more than once.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 08-19-2003 12:51 AM                  I agree Paul...been there myself many times... Hang in there Josh! While I'm way too fu*king fat & old now to run, I did do the XC stuff in HS and enjoyed it. There is some morfins or dolphins or some such thing in the brain that makes one feel much better mentally after running... The "Runner's High". >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Paul G. Thompson The Weenie Man Posts: 4718 From: Mount Vernon WA USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 08-19-2003 12:58 AM                     I did the XC thing as well as track in HS too. But I never was as good as Josh. I did it for different reasons. It kept me out of Gym classes. One of the requirements to graduate was to learn how to swim. I faked my way through it, and still graduated anyway. I spent 20 years in the US Navy, and never learned how to swim, either. They gave up on me. It has its merits. The best shipboard damage controlmen are the non-swimmers. They sure as hell don't want their happy home to sink! But I was not in that rate path. I was in Aviation Electronics.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 08-19-2003 03:40 AM                     Adam was the one who wrote the script and figured out how to make the forum's software accept it.  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony. Posts: 3686 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 08-19-2003 11:42 AM                     I actually had a kick-ass script written that dissolved the photos together, but Opera refused to render it properly (actually, not at all!) so I went with the plain-Jane slideshow. I'm glad everyone likes the new show ... I can't wait to see it running with over 300 randomized photos!  |  IP: Logged Paul G. Thompson The Weenie Man Posts: 4718 From: Mount Vernon WA USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 08-19-2003 02:37 PM                     I'll have to sort out some more pictures I have of Josh. They are all JPG's now. If I can get Brad or someone to send me thumbnails of what Brad has, I can use that as a basis to determine what Brad does not have. Then I can "clear" them with Josh, and send them to Brad. I want to clear the sending of future pictures with Josh before I send them.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 08-20-2003 04:52 PM                        Hey Adam, I did something similar back when my pics first started rotating... but with Flash. I think it was a problem for two reasons. 1, the UBB didn't like Flash. 2, it would suck redoing the Flash SWF file every time I wanted to add/change a pic. But it had dissolves, wipes, zooms, etc. All at 24fps per second (specifically). Now I can't even remember how to use Flash. Like all Macromedia programs, it is NOT user freindly and has a horrible GUI.  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony. Posts: 3686 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 08-20-2003 05:05 PM                     I hate flash. Websites with Flash suck. I refuse to wait for them to load and go elsewhere if there is no "skip" button.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 08-21-2003 02:27 AM                        Really? The file size for my picture Flash thingy was around 100k at the most. But alas... no skip button.  |  IP: Logged William Hooper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1879 From: Mobile, AL USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-29-2003 02:01 AM                        Couldn't you emulate the nice-looking young man in Good Charlotte instead of the spiky-hair one? "This is one of our most popular models, it has an in-the-door ice water dispenser, plus crushed & cubed ice, & easily holds enough pork butt & beer for a family of six. As an added convenience, the little light ALWAYS stays on."  |  IP: Logged William Hooper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1879 From: Mobile, AL USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-26-2003 04:16 AM                        Josh, stop tormenting that Gummi Worm and just eat it! Worse than the cat, I swear.  |  IP: Logged
