"Garden?" That looks more like a lawn with some flowers around it.

Shhhhh, he tried his best.

The frog fountain/bird bath gives it classy-ness.

You could have at least scaled down the image, if not just quoted the rest of his post (and maybe made a little note saying what the image was).

It gave me a little jump when I first saw it, I've successfully de-sensitized myself by putting it as my wallpaper.

Where is that, and... what's with the floor?

Yep, new desk for my secondary comp. Mind half the clutter. Taskbar should give you the idea where the desk photo was.

Regarding the 'garden' thing, I think it's another language issue here. In England, a garden is any area outside the house that is still part of your property, not actually an area filled with decorative plants or whatnot. We have that 'garden', and then a front 'garden'. Oh, and the bird bath has a wabbit atop it. Razz

We usually call it a yard, lawn, or 'out back/out front'.

I don't think it is, pretty much any area where one grows their own plants can be considered a garden.

think quietus made it pretty clear that what the english call a garden is generally different from what americans do.

I was working more in the context of Gamma's description, I guess.

Yeah, the English have a different definition, but in the given context it really wasn't a language issue. I'd say it's enough to be considered a garden in our sense too.

At the very least it isn't so different as to be confusing for us non English types. I mean, I could look at that and say, "Yeah, I see how that could be a garden." Even without having read Quietus's post that explained things.

I'm not too sure if it's an issue of cultures here. Might as well depend on wether one is used to see gardens blooming with flowers or not.

They be quick, those post editing rascals. =P Ryu's "Qietus" really threw my head for a loop, but tommy misspelled it too.

It should only take like 5 seconds, unless you have dial-up <.<

It took me 5 seconds to download it on to my computer. Everyone's just over exaggerating the the extreme.

And your connection speed must suck.

*ahem* THE POINT IS that it is much preferred if you convert your image attachments to a more proprietary image format, such as JPG or even GIF. BMP is largely uncompressed, and as such you lose a lot of space saving large images in said format. Be kind to the server, and upload a 300KB JPG rather than a 2Meg BMP! Wink

Sorry about the fuzziness of the background, as the limit for the game played in question has a max of 1024x768.

Portable network graphics is your friend. Clarity and compression; who'da thunk?
