Pictures of me and you...now and then

[theXman]

I had facial hair for about the last two years. On 3-07-05, I decided it was time for a change back.

 

[theXman]

Here's one of me free climbing a coconut tree down at South Beach, Miami at night to get a coconut. Yeah, I had a few.....

That was last year, spring break season.

 

[theXman]

Okay, last one. (I don't have too many pics on this computer).

Since we had some no-shirt pics already...

This is one of me trying to do a "sexy" picture. This is only for the few of you ladies that are on here. (I'm so full of myself aren't I?)

Guys; you don't want to see this picture, unless you're gay or something. So.... don't.

She from MD?

 

[theXman]

Hmmmmmm...... This story is very very complicated. No, at that moment she was from Florida.

[stevebullman]

[Mark Chisholm]

Well Steve, dunno. The pic you emailed to me went up without a hook? Go back and check it out yourself.

 

[Tom Dunlap]

I'll see if I can put up a familiar pic.

 

[stevebullman]

At the ISA conference in Pittsburgh the Tree Fund had a silent auction. Cindy Stachowski told me that I HAD to make a bid on something in the auction. She wouldn't say anymore than that. Well, she had my curiosity piqued. When I walked down the back row I didn't see anything that I really needed. But then, when I walked down the front row, this is what I saw...

 

[Tom Dunlap]

Tobe donated the original Bryan Kotwicka pen and ink drawing to the auction. The Tree Fund stood a good chance of wringing some long green out of me if they had gotten someone to run the bid up. No one was going to own the original but me /forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I got off cheap though.

My brother gave the Sherrill catalog to his girls and they started in the front looking at the cartoons. They really liked the index page. Tara ran her finger around the "jobsite" and then stopped when she saw this fella in the Treeboat. She looked for a little while and then asked Jim, "Is that Tom?!"

 

[Treelimbjim]

Its true. Here's from Christmas '04. Must have been B.C. (before coffee).

 

[Mark Chisholm]

Steve,

You may need to trim the photo a bit first? Try to resize it.

Mark,

I believe a change has come about with the site software since the crash the other day. The attachment links contain a "?" now, such as http://www.treebuzz.com/forum/download.php?Number=21673 and I'm pretty sure they had not before. I may be wrong about that, but in any event, apache's (the HTTP server software) "mod_rewrite" module can be used to provide and use links which do not contain the "?" for data which really should be static in nature. The significance is that such links are direct queries of the database and by their very nature (since the result is forever a "new" entity) they are not cacheable and web caches will not even store them as they pass through.

I bring this up because, as you know, I'm held captive behind a modem, so I use a web cache this side of it. If the entity could be cached, so long as disk space and the entity's time-stamp hold out, subsequent requests would be provided from the web-cache instead of over the wire. As it currently stands for me every time I visit a thread here and wish to view an attachment, it must come from the server at about 5 kB/s instead of the web-cache at the 10 MB/s it could.

Many segments of the Internet are behind such caches used to curb bandwidth needs upstream, and they too would benefit, not to mention your server bandwidth would decrease as well. Maybe you're not paying for your bandwidth on a metered basis, but if you are, the few bucks invested in having your admins set this up would be recovered eventually, and many of your visitors would have a better experience.

Same goes for apache's "mod_gzip", which would send text data compressed, usually at about 80:1.

Just some suggestions...

Glen

Nice pic. I've done some of my best chainsaw work in sandals. Any chance of getting an ANSI-approved pair of Chacos /forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif
