I've loaded the JPEG files containing some of the snapshots of
individuals at the picnic. Haven't printed up group shots yet,
may or may not get to that soon.

This will give those of you with web access the ability to
check out Dennis, Stuart, etc. A quick look will confirm
your suspicions that habitual off-topic posters are as
strange in person as they are on the net!

Dan Victor has kindly linked it into the tweeters Image Gallery.

A few notes:

1. I scanned them at low resolution and told the JPEG squisher
to be fairly agressive so quality isn't very good. I did
it to keep the files fairly small for the size of the image,
to speed downloading. We're mostly of an age where low resolution
may be welcome anyway.

2. Eileen O'Connor's name is mispelled "O'Conner" (the son of
a friend is named Conner, oh well). When at my friends,
I spaced out on Russell Rogers last name. I'll fix these
soon (can't get there from here, so it will be a day or two).
If I screwed anyone else's name up - e-mail me directly, please.

3. There's one photo I labelled "The Unknown Tweeter". I (oops)
forgot her name. If anyone knows her, let me know so I can
label her appropriately. She knows who she is - she kept
threatening bodily harm when I tried to take her photo (and,
hey, it ain't a half bad snapshot, so there!)

4. If anyone, on viewing their photo, finds it absolutely disgusting,
it may be possible to convince me into removing it. Except
Jon Anderson's photo - that would take a bribe of a pair
of round-trip tickets to the Australia to get me to take
it off!

5. After scanning them, I checked 'em out on a PC and they looked
pretty good. But on my sun system running Xwindows they were
way dark. You may need to fiddle with your viewing system
if you want "perfection". There's no standard from system
to system for just how light or dark a particular pixel
value should be. That's what happens when geeks are put
in charge of digital representations of art media :)

Let me know what you think via e-mail!
