oh well geuse i might as well enjoy it. btw hid is not incand or led so what is the equivelent to that fetish?

Hey! I carry a photon3 (white) on a neck lanyard all the time!

I also have 6 Photons in my coat pocket, an ArcAAA (turq) on my keys, and a "Chip-Fire" V16 (white) that's lost it's pocketclip but it's at the bottom of my trouser pocket cos it's cool and given to me by a crazy German guy at SS2002. Crazy is the best possible sense.

So I ain't not carrying SureFires, but I do carry LEDs too!

Hell, I'm tri-'lectrical. With me here I've got some SF incandescent armament, many Arc offerings, and a green laser. Include my glow rings, and I guess I'm quad.

Anybody else out there at least tri? Should we start a club?

I'm going to bed. It is as late here as it gets on earth...

I guess I could be considered "quad-curious". Mostly LED, but with a smattering of incandescent, laser, and radioactive stuff too.

 

[Graham]

Guess that makes me a confirmed quad - I have a pretty good number of LEDs, incandescents, green lasers, and glowrings aplenty..

Don't forget CCFT, one of my favorites for room lighting

OK...OK...OK...

The same here. LED`s, incand`s, green lasers and glow rings. When you`re out of control...you`re out of control.

A club might be good. I suggest we start meeting at Darell`s house.

I need another flashlight like a fish needs a toiliet. But when I was buying envelopes at the local Office Depot today, I spied a basket by the door with Energizer Doule Barrels and NeoGlow keychains. Ended up buying one of each. More work for me, oh boy!

I'm not sure how to do it either. I'd sure appreciate it if someone could post clear step-by-step instructions (to accommodate my instruction-challenged brain).

Thanks,

[Darell]

There really is no slick and easy way that I'm aware of. Multiple windows, lots of "[]" and "quote" and "qb" and cutting and pasting. It isn't a pretty thing to do.

If anybody has some UBB magic, please share it with those of us sitting here in the dark...

I wonder why they still call it "pasting". I've never used that term, and the last time people called glue "paste" it was the 19th century when they made the stuff out of bisquitt batter and oatmeal. Gack!!

The most common mistake I make on a computer is selecting something with "cut" and the attempting to use "copy" to place a copy into another file (the logical choice!), when "paste" (go**damn archaic term) is the correct selection.

That sounds like Darell better watch out when he gets back from vacation. A bunch of guys with lights and clubs at his house. And some of those lights radioactive too

Is there anything wrong w/just cutting and pasting from the little window at the bottom of the "post a reply" page?

 

[Size15's]

Paste is a silly term for Control+"v"
How about Copy & Vorschticken

Figured I might update this and pick on Darell a bit more..

So, as of now he's up to 971 posts (I reckon he's trying for the 1000, but anyway..)

I started this thread when he was at 836, on March 17. So looks like he's made 135 posts in the last 15 or so days. And lets not forget he was in Hawaii on *holiday* for about half of that.

Is there no stopping this man? Can nothing slow him down? When he gets to 1000 shall we all pitch in and get him a t-shirt saying 'Fastest 1000 posts on CPF and all I got was this lousy t-shirt' or something?

Graham

 

[txwest]

Darell,
Have you ever heard that people only pick on others they like.....you MUST be the most liked person on CPF.

[Darell]

Oooh. Let me catch up with one post so nobody can accuse me of pulling an Aragorn...

1. I call it "Vasting" (to myself, mind you) just to avoid pulling a "Craig."

2. Where's my damn shirt? Or should we just wait for 2000 at this point?

3. I DO feel loved. Brings a small tear to my eye sometimes. Or maybe that's the first pollen of spring...

Sorry about the big Hawaii slow-down. Much more travel coming up, so start stocking up on Darell replies now before they're back-ordered!

What is vasting and what does it have to do with me?!?

It is how I remember to perform "pasting" with the "V" key. Thus "Vasting."

It prevents me from using CTRL-P actually, so calling it a "Craig" isn't very accurate, but I loosely based it on you trying to copy something when you meant to paste it.

Yeah, a bit obtuse, I know.

Well, it's... different.
My "paste" problem is using CTRL-C (copy) when I meant CTRL-V (paste). Often this trashes the contents of the clipboard so I have to go back, highlight, and CTRL-C again.

Because to me, copying is COPYING!! That means putting a copy of something someplace, hence CTRL-C.

O well... I can only stay mad at something for so long. So I guess this is about it for this particular rant.

Next week, how NOT to use the reset button.

 

[Darell]

Wait, I got it. Think of it this way:

CRTL-C = Clipboard, add.
CRTL-V = Vanquish the Clipboard

On second thought, that's just confusing me more...

I think if you had a kid you might understand "paste" more. Since the little buggers are gonna eat the adhesive anyway, somebody long ago decided that paste would kill the little 'uns slower than would glue. In my world, paste is still very much in use...
