I didn’t honestly know how to load pictures to the net, all my photos are from years ago, had my avatar privledges Yanks from me cause I didn’t know what I was doing, clicking all over trying to make it work.
Here are two test photos I made, off site that I’m hoping I succeeded in uploading correctly, see if I figured it out yet:
Lets see if it works…
And it works.
I still wouldn’t know how to put a avatar up, and Carleas is too much a not so clever uncompromising douchebag to help, so fuck him. I asked for help, nobody bothered. Meanwhile, I can start making my own graphics for discussions.
If it ain’t one thing it is another, stupid lapton is listing the locations for most of the images I worked on in the past, but it’s been reduced down to a image less kb… I can see the file name for them.
I got a very small bit from my early attempt to translate onasander and Hui Shi here, everything else is dead. If anyone knows how to recover it, let me know.
Its windows 7
The two above applies to Hui Shi’s text, nobody works on that philosopher anymore, despite being deeply insightful. Ill probably delete everything by accident so just putting it up now without discussion…
Some general math stuff and what is left of Onasander’s general… very dussapointing only one pic left.
Of course my screen shots of Alexa Doig survived intact… for reasons beyond me.
I have more pics of Onasander’s work in a word file, but Word starter 2010 won’t let me access it.
I had started it on my laptop, then switched over to my kindle… kindle was stolen, but I know some remain in the old document, but it keeps insisting I open it in safe mode, then proceeds never to do it… really making me angry. Amy clues how to wack it so it will work, the laptop isn’t internet accessible, had to use a bunch of cables.
I see them in wordpad, no way of getting those images off, I see about 1/4th of them… rest lost when my kindle got snatched. I don’t want to lose these.
Imgur.com allows you to just drag and drop any image. If you have an account itll give you a library of your uploaded images. You can also publish them to the ’ community’ and incite discussions. Theyll get thousands of views quickly. Within one month I was able to go to some thousands of likes and reach “venerated” status before I got banned for posting a topless girl in a cadillac.
As far as avatars go you need to crop and resize it to max 130 by 130 pixels. All basic graphic applications have a resize option.
I don’t know how to crop on my phone, that is my issue. Laptop is old, doesn’t go on the net anymore. Gonna die soon… I got Microsoft paint to fiddle with, couldn’t get gimp on it as it was throwing a hissy fit.
I was just going to design a basic idea for what the images would look like, then get a graphics artist I know to refine Onasander’s images… Only some are basic maneuvers, very lame… Think that us my lamest, but then I got bored and started drawling complex terrain and made the little squares squat and bend as little diamonds, killing, raping, and pillaging. Always had a crazy sun about, not unlike the one above (that isn’t for onasander though here). It was getting me to laugh a lot… He wrote it a psychology text first, then as a text for a general to use, so I had some Platonic concepts to navigate.
There is a old Italian text in the library if Congress called De Rei Militari (not by vegetius, can’t recall who) where you can see the author got similarly bored and started drawling his soldiers, albeit technically correct, just funny as shit, like they were in on the fun and mocking the whole text, but were seriously for it too. Some of them have shit eating grin to them.
Valturius, Robertus: De re militari
I mention that book to other military experts, they insist it is Vegetius, given the title, and I’m like "No… I’ve read both textual tradions for that text (they never know there is two), this is definitely something else, influenced by Heron of Byzantium but not like it at the same time, using medieval technology and crazy little mischievous men armed with crossbows or sailing about to do something the saints would dissaprove of.
