All the news from the peanut gallery and where all the nasty trash talk fails miserably.

How's that "worldwide best-selling author" thing working out for you? :lol:

Hey, Gunz, buddy! Nice to have you back, don't be such a stranger.

This was the final play of the game. I am on defense. 20-14 lead. 4th down. 1 second left. My linebacker blitzed and sacked his QB to end the game.

I'll have to look into that. We only have so much site storage for user pics, and we may have reached the limit. But in general, it's best to use an 3rd party image site like imgur.com to store pics and link them back to here. As long as it's a common pic file format, it should show here just fine.

In our board settings for post attachments, we have a 50MiB (~50M) file attachment limit for the whole board, each user can attach 3 files per public post (1 per private), and each attached file can be up to a quarter of a MiB big. I'd have to go into our backend filesystem and check, but I'd guess we've had enough attached files in posts to get near that limit. I've considered turning off board attachments entirely, making members link their pics from other sites.

i know that i hit a limit back in March. I got to where in order to post another pic i had to go back and delete a prior one. i finally just quit messing with it and stopped posting pics.

Gunzen, would you be willing to take a few well-meant suggestions about your right hand technique?

Your hand looks tight and tense and flat. Relax it, even if you have to think about it consciously. You're holding your hand too high to the strings, causing your thumb also to be way too high. Straighten out your thumb, and hold it so it's more in line with the low E string. You should have a bend in your wrist, not uncomfortably so, as well as a slight bend downwards. If you look at the top of your forearm, your thumb should be almost in a line with the inside of your forearm. This will relax the fingers a lot. All your fingers should bend gently down from the top of your hand, and if you want, with almost no force on your pinky touch it with the tip to the pick guard, it should still be able to move around on the guard. Your ring finger is too straight, curl it alongside your middle finger, and all your fingers will be much more relaxed and mobile. You should be hitting the string with the side of your thumb, not the along the curve of the tip, and the line of your fingers should be more parallel with the strings.

The way you're holding your hand now your fingers will get in the way of each other, and you'll never really develop any real finger speed. If you do nothing else different with your right hand, at least gently curl the fingers into the strings, and you'll find you won't miss picking the strings as much.
