Im testing a new editor!

Please let me know if you have any issues!!

Also YEP I know it doesn't fit in right now and its missing some features - Im gonna theme it RIGHT PROPER soon!
(please dont use the colours, they will cause issues )

This isnt exactly a camera, its a camcorder bUUUT it can take pictures

That second video is fantastic! I remember when the world felt like that! Harmless anarchy

Old video camera pictures are great - my mum actually did a whole art project based on them around 2006 - https://sarahiremonger.com/photographs/myths-2006-07/1 (a lot of them are pictures of me ) - They have a really soft digital-yet-analouge feeling - I find it really interesting that she spotted that all the way back in 2006, most of us are only just starting to notice this technology now!

Also unrelated - but if we are talking video camera imagery: this is a great video on CRT camcorders from the 80s!

Im very creatively competitive; Im always browsing around going like "OH thats cool.. but MAYBE it could be cooler if I did it like THIS!" Or.. "wow they totally did something I didn't think of.. I wanna try do something like that my own way". Or simply.. "I really enjoy this kind of content on this site - I wanna try add more content like it to my own!"

When I arrived in Neocities, I already had a lot of web knowledge, but its grown so much more since then (Particularly my JavaScript knowledge) - so every few months I might return to a project with new knowledge and suddenly Im able to do more than was possible in the past - that always pushes me to rework pages and do things even better.

I know many people like to just make sites for themselves.. but its way more fun if theres a bit of healthy rivalry too (both between other people and with your past self) - Id like to see more people challenge themselves!

Random forum request to consider: maybe a song that plays on this site? A custom-made one specifically would be awesome, maybe even different songs when you enter different zones/topics :omg:k:

Preferably it would be something soft and chill of course, I just think it would be neat to have little melodies to associate this site with like many do with video games. (I've been playing a lot of Mario 64 )

That was kinda the idea with the radio! (Does anyone click it??) - the idea was that it would be an optional thing people could open as they browse- but maybe we can expand on that idea somehow!

Yeah just confirmed it I using inspect element I deleted the snow script and the flowers and it got rid of the lag as soon as I did that.

I have temporeraly removed the script pending a better solution - even my computer seems happier now

Due to some technological advancements; this forum can now have ANY html code blocks added as BBCode!

For example you can now use

Code

[webgarden]https://melonking.net/webgarden.html[/webgarden]

to embed a live webgarden!

THIS BEGS the question!! What else can we add? - WHAT EVIL LURKS IN THE HEARTS OF MEN??

If you have any BBCode sugestions - feel free to comment them here

The forum now supports live webgardens!

Just a quick question!

Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of making synthesised vocals for songs (like Vocaloid etc) - Ideally Id like to be able to easily map a set of lyrics to a tune using a synthetic voice - possibly even playing the vocals like a musical instrument!

I know its conceptually possible; but Id love to hear if anyone has particular experience or can point me in a direction!

Yep! Thats the one - I suppose what makes a good picture is very subjective - I find its very good at capturing soft warm light and colour tones - heres an uncompressed image.

I used a cheapo lens when I first got it and it wasn't nearly as good; so a lot is in the lens - the older adapted lenses tend to be good at making things more.. warped! However its definitely not as crisp as a proper DSLR; Im not sure id use it for detail shots. It tends to blow out a bit with high contrast (I mostly just use auto mode) - but its generally still a nice result - I should prob switch it into RAW mode though; that would avoid that issue much better..

Upcoming feature plans or ideas:

• Improved post editor - I find the one we have really clunky
• Better signature editor - this is an old request
• Better media embedding and support for more sites - currently only YT works
• Better Private Message system - the one we have works but its not great
• Better quote system - Its annoying to quote right now
• System to save draft posts - Good for people with multiple computers
• Chatbox/Shoutbox? - This is another old request
• Fun awards system - Fun!! FUN!!!
• Figure out a way for people to embed iFrames for things like webgardens - You'd think this would be easy!

Apparently that 645Z was $9000 new! I don't think I know many individuals that that level of investment in a bit of tech!

Personally I use an Olympus OM-D III with a 50mm equivalent lens - Its a fun camera! Its smaller than you'd expect but you can adapt full size lenses to fit on it; so sometimes I used old Pentax lenses from the 60s! It also makes a very satisfying click when you close the shutter! It does great video too which can be handy when you need it! (theres a gyroscopic mechanical stabiliser built into the body; you can feel it spinning!)

Walking around with it makes me feel a bit like I have one of those old Startrek tricorders form the original series

(Here it is next to a pen for scale - excuse the dust its not seen much use this winter!)
