# teesh hurt troubles
I was sat on the tube today proudly sporting my new b3ta threads and a girl opposite me started mouthing woo and then yay to me. It took me ages to work out what they she was saying and I felt really self conscious. When I realised she got off the tube.

Should I have mouthed a woo back?

What is protocol?

Has anything like this happened to anyone else?

"Houpla" would have been an appropriate response....

# I got an even better response the first time I wore mine in public.
Looking back, I should have put some trousers on too.

# Not her tic tacs per say
But she was quite fit. I feel a romantic opportunity for the first b3ta wedding may have passed me by

# Simply enlarge your picture
by 400% or however much you've zoomed in by.

# ummm
image - resize image

but make sure you turn off resampling

or you could keep it wee and when you post it put width="300" after the url
like this

# where is the resampling tool
?
(, Thu 4 Mar 2004, 11:21, archived)
# if you go to resize image
you get two wee tick boxes at the bottom one says "constrain proportions" and the other says "resample image" (usually with bicubic or something beside it)
turn off resampling if you want your pics to stay pixelly when you enlarge them.

but if you shrink pics without resampling, they usually look pants

# are you sure she wasn't just stretching her mouth
after an appoinment at the dentist?

otherwise I think the correct response would be to do one of those two-handed thumb and finger shooting mimes then wink and say "panowie"

A bit like the masons but more fluffy!

If it's a fellow betan, ask to put it in the newsletter. You might find out who it was!

We should have a t-shirt spotting compo or something!

# Grrr
I still can't believe they haven't got a black b3ta t-shirt. The b3taverse contains huge numbers of geeks and techies, for badger's sake. We don't want no steenking colour in our wardrobes. It's far too complicated.
