# Hello world

(not CC btw)

I'd love a few pointers about b3taing. Lurked quite a few years (if having a chuckle at the best of the best twice a year merits as lurking). Attempting to use my old flickr account as host, see how that works out.

EDIT Thanks for the warm welcome.

So if flickr is blocked...I see. Pity since I have a paid account there. Any other hosts that are commonly blocked?

Seems like a successful post to me. I don't really understand it though.

# Looking good.
Though if you're drawing your technical tips from my panorama down v there I feel I have to tell you that there are more skilled image manipulators round there than I.

Welcome to b3ta, pull up a chair, shop a kitten oh, you've done that.

Meant to say Pointers about b3ta, edited OP =)

And thank you.

# Pointers about b3ta... It's art rather than science.
1 - Read the FAQ
2 - Try something
3 - If that results in flaming and abuse, don't do it again
4 - return to 2, or 1 if you're getting repeatedly flamed.

There is a lot of UK-specific content, is it ok to ask whenever I don't get it?

Not been verbally roughed-up yet, possibly thanks to the L.

I posted a 3Mb pic the other day that was also the dimensions of Jupiter without fucking realising it.

but I'm so fucking cool that it was no problem. My fan mail went down a little is all.

But having posted a very crudely stitched panorama a few threads down I didn't really feel justified.

I saw the drunken burgers you tweeted yesterday. Did you use those rubber cheese slices? Did you, Sir?
(I helped save b3ta! bennyhillslovechild, Thu 3 Jun 2010, 16:06, archived)
# I did.
but that's the point. Drunken food is not cooking. It's simply staying alive!

I'm doing spag bol for my mother tonight. I've stayed sober.

(also I like cheese slices, I really do. it belongs on burgers )

# That would have saved me a job
meaning I could go to the pub and have burgers again :)

also, there was nothing wrong with my burgers. 2 quarter pounders, bacon, cheese, onion catsup and coleman's English mustard. Food of the gods when you are pissed.

I snapped the pics myself, not dug up in creative commons. Doesn't make much of a difference, perhaps =)

I'll try to be nice/funny as far as my language skills allows I guess. Never realized just how chatty this place is.

It's a jump out into the unknown image board while keeping perfectly still within the confines of what I know: snapping pics.
