@biscuit_tornado I can tell you do not have a 7yo boy in your household...

@turboquokka @stavvers @LouisIngenthron I will readily admit to my laziness.
but pissing on the floor? just... why?

@stavvers @LouisIngenthron pissing on the floor is not normal for men :(

@Richard_Littler @actuallyautistic good luck and try to maintain one room as a bolt-hole to escape into

A quick meetup with someone else from here doing a random project and we have a few more pixels to share...

@matsimpsk it was the immediacy vs film cameras at the time.
you could see in near-realtime what the result was, and it was amazing.

I waited until Sony brought out their first dslr to learn photography properly because I tend to learn by brute-forcing and this made the feedback loop into seconds-for-hundreds-of-photos rather than the film week-for-36-photos and trying to remember what changes I'd made between shots.
serious respect to any self-taught photographers in the film days.

@matsimpsk it was amazing at the time. digital photography in 2000 was odd, and this was a pretty good attempt by Casio to remain relevant.
full geekery-meets-007 points for the time, and it talking to everything else via irda was amazing.
I'm waiting on a replacement 18mm watchstrap to land (original is a bit stiff now, not too comfy, and I suspect will start to crack with any use).
then the comedy starts.
from previous use - it thrives on light and contrast, and everything is in focus.

Well bother.
I have now found my hardware keyboard to add in some ALT text for the pics in this thread, and my phone's mastodon client crashes if I edit my posts.

I will now go and cry in accessibility.
...and see if I can edit them on my laptop instead.

that all done, set the watch to Comms -> PC, put it soooo clooooose to the infrared adaptor (like an inch or two max, and facing straight-in)
upload-all aaaaaand slowly it slurps the images down.
blimey.
it worked.
Next up, convert those pics from bmp to png (minor space saving as only 120x120 pixels anyway, but let's aim for compatible with today...)
