Liberty Belle and the Black Diamond Express.

[reddragdiva]

The pics from jhaelan's picnic last Sunday are finally up. (If you absolutely despise a shot of yourself, please let me know.) There is no reason at all some are sepiatone, other than me pressing the wrong button.

Possibly the high point of the day's entertainment was mr_flay escaping from a straight jacket. Which sushidog and miss_soap had locked him into somewhat more securely than he had assumed. I got a short AVI (1.8MB) of the proceedings; if my camera had sound, you'd have heard some remarkably creative swearing. Note ladycat elegantly passing behind.

I also have an AVI of childeric juggling a hedgehog (714KB). (Does anyone know of a handy tool for losslessly rotating an AVI ninety degrees? Until then, turn your heads to the left.)

(Please wait a bit before you hit the AVIs — that's a home DSL. Feel free to mirror. I hope to use them to properly test Rocknerd's connection shortly ...)

The bestest bit, of course, was redcountess making it out to play with all the lovely people. I have photographic evidence! We brought Tigger, Eeyore and a toy spider. "This is the tale of the day Tigger and Eeyore went down to the Hundred Acre Wood and fell into Shelob's domain ..."

Today will apparently involve Ikea. (shudder)

Update: Looks like the best answer is VirtualDub, an open source video converter for Windows. That will apparently work somewhat in Wine. We'll see.

Update 2: Now on rocknerd.org — test our bandwidth to your heart's content.
