That's so wrong it's just got to be ... wrong.

Club shots are far too nonuniform to script further - levels and cropping by hand, re-crop some from original large image, then scripts to sharpen and produce the final JPEGs and an initial index page. But judicious scripting does save considerable effort.

Mind you, this batch of photos is teh suxx0r - grainy as hell with crappy colour, many shots having come out simply unusable. I'm suspecting the amount of smoke in the place fouling up the white balance and flash.

Saturday night pub good. I walked in expecting just to find shekhmet and duranorak to discover the far end table filled to the brim with the usual netscum. Everyone except me was going to Slimelight, of course. Had a pint and realised I was still trashed from the previous night, so Coke and cloves thereafter. (CLOVES!!!) Stayed curled up in a corner with duranorak, sipping our sugar water and observing the crowd.

Today is a Quiet Day In. Caffeine, geeking, working out what I need to have together for the Return of the chix0r ...
