Weird. When I first looked it was only counter-clockwise. Then I blinked or glanced away and it rotated the other way, then later back to CCW. I thought they were changing it. Seems it would change according to what distracted me.

Sorry ladies.
But when she get dizzy and falls down, I will be the guy there with a tall glass of iced wine to cool her down.
(And yes, she did reverse the spin. Not that it matters.)

It all depends on which brain (hemisphere) your using to look at her. What are you thinking about when you see her?

Pretty neat tool.

Min, those are great pics you're posting. Let us know when you're done, as I don't want to mess up the slideshow with a post.

You should have seen me after I dragged my ass to the top of the acropolis in Lindos on Rhodes.....

They have "humidity" in those places and I'm not used to that!!!![/quote]

To all, especially Michelle:

The photo tour that Min has put together is pretty fantastic. His expertise in Greco-Roman history is well known in this forum.

It seems to me that this might be one occassion that a "sticky" or something similar might be appropriate. I'm sure that Michelle can "bundle" these threads together, in proper order, and have the whole tour on display, at least for a while.

Do you have any thoughts Michelle? What about everybody else?

Beags,

Great ideas all! I will work on doing just that. Maybe a separate forum is in order......

Great idea, boss. And others should be encouraged to post their photos of archaeologically relevant sites as well.

To that end, Photobucket.com has a new feature called the "Bulk Uploader" which allows you to go through an entire directory and select which photos you wish to upload by thumbnail instead of having to individually select them. It makes the process infinitely faster and simpler.

(And Photobucket is a free service.)

Can you move the existing threads and delete them from the main forum?


Or...can I?

Min,

They have been moved. All that remains is a 'shadow' and that redirects to the correct forum.

Nice shots Bob!!! (Geesh I am so jealous!!)

Excellent idea, Beags.
As Min knows I'm already in the process of tweaking his pix to get the most out of 'm. Cnossos is next.

Cool, boss.

Yeah, R/S now that I'm done with that I think I'll take a better look at your list of apps.
