Would be nice if members renamed their threads from "X's Daily life in Thailand and what I see" to something more fitting for their personal thread.

Have a bit of creativity, "Shaggy's Issan" for example.

Break out of the mold/mould.

I can make the titles up for you all if your stuck of ideas.

Not having a dig or anything, far from it, how abour "Jimbo's Samui Paradise?"

Has a better ring to it IMO

Can you remember/estimate roughly how far away you were from shot 2 and 3, and also if they were cropped?

I'm not sure on that one.

The best place for advice and problem solving is to load Hexchat it should automatically connect to #linuxmint-help theres lots of linux experts in there to help, it might vary depending on the time of day.

For extra security:-

1. Open the network list (HexChat > Network List)
2. Highlight Spotchat
3. Hit Edit
4. Change the port to 6697 and check always use SSL for this connection

Security updates etc...

When that icon is green its upto date, when white its checking, when blue updates are available.

I've just typed what you said:

N: [pulseaudio] main.c: User-configured server at {5c6bb2063eebcbb180029b69572b39ce}unix:/run/user/1000/pulse/native, which appears to be local. Probing deeper.

Yeah thats OK ,,,try my suggestion above this post

Try this ALT +F2 then type

gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

at the very botton.new line enter this

options snd-hda-intel model=laptop

Save then reboot check audio if not working try pulseaudio --start (note the double hyphen)

------------------------------

If that doesnt work remove the line you added by running

ALT +F2 then type

gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

delete line resave

The blue icon on the taskbar/panel click it.

This is solvable its just a matter of patience. One thing I noticed is your ALSA is 3.13.0-24....im on 17.2 and mine is 3.16.038....have you done software updates since installation? I can see on the screenshot that there are some you still havent done.

I recommend updating or at least seeing if theres an alsa update in the list....if you dont want to do that try this and then test the audio

pulseaudio --start

OK your is similar to mine but need more info, dont worry about the SPDIF for now

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install inxi

then in full screen terminal

inxi -F

copy and paste the Audio: card, driver, sound, ver line

MM is muted.

What does this report?

aplay -l

did you put in the space after cat?

Also try going to alsa mixer and use the cursor to get to the SP/DIF section and mute it with the M key.

What does terminal output when you type this?

cat /proc/asound/modules

One bit of advice I can offer with your mouse hand, is make sure your forearm is near horizontal when holding the mouse. If you have an arm on your chair, have your mouse at the same level.

I sat on the floor for a few months and my mouse hand was at a right angle, didnt take long for the RSI to appear.

in terminal type alsamixer and check the outputs are enabled and turned up....they should have green, white then red bars if turned up fully.

Also before updating anything make sure you type sudo apt-get update in the terminal, otherwise when you update something it might use an outdated repository, which can sometimes cause problems.

A lot of people dont do this and wonder why things stop working after updates.

If you live in an aircon environment and step out into heat and humidity with your camera, it will condensate and will provide a good environment for mould to form.

My advice would be to stick it in an airtight bag with air in and let the camera acclimatize before taking it out of the bag and using it.

Just some advice should you live in a nice cool airconned residence.

I miss your HDR shots shaggy

To the OP,

What you will find is one day you have left your computer on and it has updated itself automatically without your permission.

That is unless you have removed the necessary updates.

The optional download was changed by MS to a recommended download.

I written a basic batch file to remove the necessay updates but no longer have it and it may be outdated now anyway.

MS are getting sneaky.

Always read the support page for every single update before carrying it out.

This may help but its on old post and there were more updates made available after it https://www.hackread.com/microsoft-updates-spy-on-windows7-8-users/

Another good software for this is Raya Pro made by JImmy Mcintyre, theres also a free panel for photoshop on there with actions built in

Please remember, "that dog is for life, not just for songkran"

Thanks Gobs, perhaps a good idea for people / members to revisit places ... and add to their WIS!

But today, it's back to Samui, Soi one Maenam...

We arrived just as the tour boats were coming back from Koh Toa and the National Marine Park.

Fill 'er up ..ready for the morning...

Clean the snorkeling masks

The Tour boats go to sleep for the night!

Boat powered by alien lifeforms, wearing hats that would electrocute them if they don't comply?

2 decent elastic bands of the right size is all you need shaggy, over back of your camera on eaxh side and onto the sides of the glass.

As for the scratches on the printed gels, thats a good point, glue some silk to cardboard and make a wallet for them. I'm not joking either.

One thing I'd like to add, which might be of some importance to you.

A 100mm lens on 4:3 will not have the same 'lens compression/perspective distortion' as a 200mm on full frame.

You've just sparked an idea shaggy so i thought I'd share it.

If you've ever looked at the Lee filters website they have all kinds of gradiated orange sunset filters, blue ocean filters etc...

If you own a printer you can buy transparent sheets in A4 for printing onto, some are only 100 microns thick/thin.

In theory you could load up photoshop create your own gradient that fades into 100% transparency and print it off.
