by exact location, you mean the location where they filmed, or the location described in the books?

    The exact location where they filmed!        :D

David and Ray - Be sure to look me up when you come to San Francisco, or in David's case, come back to San Francisco.  Now that I mention it, eveyrbody look me up when they come to San Francisco!

I was in San Francisco years back.  It was spring, everything was still green, though there was still water rationing going on.

I was confused about the billboards I saw that said 'Know when to say when' and my hosts - a gay couple - explained to me that the diripping faucet meant that the billboard was about water convervation.

So much so, a little jingle went around about the toilets 'If it's yellow, let it mellow, if it's brown, flush it down."  :P

Me and my friends offered to take baths together to save water.   ;D

San Francisco was a lovely town.  Got a crick in my neck from looking up all the time at the houses and builidngs.  What a great place you live in Kirk.

You ain't kiddin' Delluvia.  I loved San Francisco when I first came here with my high school show choir at 17.  When I got the chance to move here in '94 I jumped at it and haven't looked back.  I love my city.  And I grew up in Orange County, CA.

Irvine mostly.  Garden Grove before that, Costa Mesa after.  Was in Hollywood for less than two years.

I need photo hlep.  I have a picture I want to post.  The file is too big.  I don't want to reduce the actual size of the photo but I know there's a way to reduce the number of pixels for internet use.  I sent out a flier in an email once, huge file, and a friend sent it back reduced in file size but not viewing size.  Anyone know how that's done?

Hello everybody!

This is my first post on this website, but some of you might know me from the IMDB-board already. Polite person that I am, I thought I should introduce myself first before doing anything else. Hope it works out with the picture. It shows me and my little sweetie during a summer vacation. She's 4 years old now and still sweet, of course (this also should make it very obvious why I have such a faible for lovely brown eyes, like Ennis has... ;)).

It's nice to meet you all! Of course, I have yet to find my way through all these threads. Really just got started here...

See you around!

edit, Oct./12th: I've removed this picture for personal reasons.

Kirk, what I do with mine (some of the pictures of my drawings end up as 2MG Bitmaps) I transfer it into ArcSoft PhotoStudio and on the Edit menu, it has Image Size.  It prompts me to specify a % of its current size - I usually select 50 or 60% and it reduces it down to a JPEG file - around 120kb and I save it and can then upload it.  This doesn't appear to affect the size of the image I post cause if you look at some of the drawings I have posted, they come out quite large.  I believe you can do this same process with Adobe PhotoShop but as I don't have it, I couldn't tell you how.  This may be of absolutely no help to you whatsoever  ???  but this is how I manage to do it - so if you have PhotoStudio on your computer you might be able to try it.

Cheers,
S.
Chut up!
