120,000 hours of herding cats in order to make a commercial

Cute Overload provided the lead.

Just a question. How do I capture these "flip card" gifs(?) from LT to show somewhere else?

34LolaWalser
mei 2, 2013, 9:26 am

Hey, guido! Right-click on the pic, and either save or copy URL to post using HTML. If you save it, you'll have to either e-mail it or upload somewhere where others can see it--one of the photo sites, or Junk Drawer here on LT, for instance.

35guido47
Bewerkt: mei 2, 2013, 9:49 am

OK. Folowing the instructions

here is what I got.

ETA. No motion. I displayed it with "img src ="
and I captured it with "save as" using 'right click'.
And that captured image is in my "junk" thingy...

36LolaWalser
mei 2, 2013, 9:46 am

37LolaWalser
mei 2, 2013, 9:48 am

Hm, you must be doing something different, g.

Right-click, box opens, click on "Copy image URL"... with me so far?

Then, {img src="blahblahblah.gif"}--substitute angular brackets for curly--and it should work.

38guido47
mei 2, 2013, 9:56 am

I (using XP) don't have a "Copy image URL" on my right click. I have a "save picture as" which is what I used in #35 above.

G.

39LolaWalser
mei 2, 2013, 10:06 am

Really only "Save picture as" and nothing else?! Hmmm. I don't recall that from my XP days. Do you have a "get image location" or something similar? Anything? What about "See code"?

If not, I'm afraid you may need to consult a real computer person, Sir! Sorr-ee!

40FlorenceArt
mei 2, 2013, 10:12 am

You should have "Copy image location" I think.

41guido47
mei 2, 2013, 10:13 am

Now that's strange, I right clicked and emailed the "target" to myself and got Motion! Though how I could use that to post to a 'talk' thread (or elsewhere) I do not know. Where is Brightcopy' when you need him :-)

42vy0123
mei 2, 2013, 10:24 am

LT transformed the original information format from gif to jpeg.

The web address of image at #36 is
http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lo4whbEtmQ1qj949yo1_250.gif
pass that around. On the iPad, tap and hold on an image, the context menu appears, choose copy, go to Notes.app to paste, copy and paste and paste.

(The iPad smart case is in fact stupid. Very stupid and ugly.)

I will ETA to let you know what I did and the results after I post this message.

ETA. It worked! Just the usual 'img src=" from #42. Now, are you saying I can't just grab a 'flip gif' from LT,
but must search for the original 'gif'' file? ie. not jpeg'ed?

Bummer.

Thanks vy0123. And PS. not sure why the iPad references, but thanks again.

I was still trying, really hard, to get my head wrapped around two nuclear power plant cooling towers pouring hot tea/coffee and then collapsing...

But then, wait! It's the Larid, stealing chips! Does anyone remember the story behind this gem? Didn't he do this regularly and somebody chipped in to pay for his daily thievery?

Never mind, 'found it:

"The pictures are authentic and the story is true.

According to the BBC the gull has been walking through the door of RS McColl newsagents in Aberdeen, Scotland since the beginning of July, 2007.

When the coast looks clear and the shopkeeper is looking the other way, the seagull walks over to a display of snack foods and always takes the same thing--a small personal sized bag of cheese Doritos chips.

He's been nicknamed Sam and has become a local celebrity. Customers who are entertained by the bird have even started paying the store for the bags that have been stolen.

Once the bird takes the Doritos, he goes outside near the store, opens the bag, and shares it with other birds that join him in the feast."

I now officially want to go to that bazaar and waste lots of money.

Gosh markets are so evil for that. I hate when they align all the spices together in these huge linen baskets with all the colors and smells. I don't even know what 90% of the spices are and it still makes me want to buy all of them and cook with it!

Google Image Search "spice markets" and start drooling. ~sigh~

87LolaWalser
mei 8, 2013, 11:09 am

Meredy, could anyone be so fiendishly devious?! I hope not. I hope evil penguin is evil, not a toon.

Guido, just post the img src codes next to each other (I separate the pics inelegantly with three dots, otherwise they look pasted to each other). But if the images are too big to display next too each other they'll end up stacking vertically. So, resize? (Add width=350--for instance--to the img src codes after the location before the bracket. E.g.: {img src="catdogpigskwerl.jpg" width=###}).

At what size do jellyfish stop being cute?
