One photo every day: It's late so here's a bit different selfie. (77/365)

in #onephotoeveryday7 years ago (edited)

Our new Internet router broke down so I couldn't use the net for the whole day, and after I realized the old one still worked I was already kind of not in the mood of making any photographs for the net. (Motivation lost, again.)

Anyway, after having played some old console games through an emulator for five or so hours, I decided that before going to bed I'm going to do a selfie. (I never do those anyway.)

This was going to be different. Something else. (And of course it wasn't. Just something that got me laughing.)

And then I just couldn't keep my cool. So here's me and a duck chicken.

Main camera: Samsung A6 tablet (selfie mode)
Camera #1: Logitech (webcam)
Camera #2: Creative VF0520 Live! (webcam)

So it's 4:20am right now. I should've gone to bed earlier and not just play.

On the other hand, How to train your dragon is a fun game, reminds me of the Final Fantasy series...

Whaha! Nice man 😉
You should look into a Miktorik router - they're amazing!! Not for the faint hearted to set up but they are rock solid!!

Ah, you mean Mikrotik?

Well I don't really need routing, so anything the provider sells me is fine. I always configure them to bridge instead of route, makes the internet usage somewhat faster, and I can use all the protocols I want, unlike when the connection is NAT'ed. Usually things like RetroShare, IPFS and some cryptocoins work much better without NAT, and I never figured out how to disable it for multiple machines without resorting to bridged mode.

So the device manufacturer makes little to no difference to me, if the device just bridges the connection.

Wow, I must have been typing waaaay too quick ;)
Ah, makes sense then ;)

Actually, you are a determined man, you always find a way out. Your dedication is not a joke. I checked earlier to curate your post. I didnt find a new one. However, it became dark and I felt i should recheck , I looked and then I found your post, 19minute ago. Reading it I knew why you posted so late. But it is commendable you finally did. Do you have any picture of your self on any of your post aside this? Aside, that cock would be good for Christmas celebration, you can post it to me. Lol.

Oh... nice. Another science geek in the comment section. That deserves a follow. :-)

Hahaha, yeah. I am a scientist. Pleased to check you out too. Cheers.

Ha ha.. 😊 Photography using webcam.. What a creative idea!
I would like to know about your Internet connection.. Because I'm working on IT filled.. Is it wired or wireless connection..?
I had modems, dongles, wired broadband connections.. both all are sucks and I throw them away... now using a wireless 4G connection..

At home we have a residential cable TV connection and with it we have a high speed Internet connection, It was recently upgraded from a 100Mb/s connection to 300Mb/s, and I was sold a new residential router that handles speeds up to 1Gb/s. It worked for about 5 days, until it didn't, and couldn't fetch the IP address from the provider any longer on Saturday morning at about 0:30am.

Last night I got fed up and decided to try if the older router still works, and it did. :) I'm going to send the one I had bought back to the provider and ask for a new one.

Other than the cable connection, we have five personal 4G devices and one 3G laptop that can all connect to the Internet without a hitch.

And those webcams, they are very old. Still good for webcasting I guess.

Ah ha.. You are from Finland.. I'm a very big fan of your country Nokia phones.. Nokia is very famous in our country.. But Nokia was vanished with Microsoft.. But again, they are growing in rebirth.. Oh god.. 1Gb/s will be fantastic.. Only 100Mb/s connection is available in my country..

It was kind of shitty thing from Microsoft to do what they did, but Nokia should have known better. Each and every time Microsoft has "cooperated" with someone, or "lended" their people they have managed to backstab the firms they have supposedly been in cahoots with.

Oh, and our internet provider is kind of shitty too. They keep making these 2 year contracts that rise in price for the second year, and just before the second year starts, they make a new "better" offer that people basically can't refuse unless they want to pay the higher fees. An offer that starts at 2 euros higher monthly prices but end up costing 10 euros more if the customer declines to accept their new offer. I think the Mafia did something like that too.

True words about Microsoft. It's the one thing they are really good at.

Hahahahahahaha. Why did you show a picture of you and a chicken. It is quiet funny.

Game is very powerful, it motivated you to post something even though you felt down before.

On the right-side screen is a constantly changing background that runs through all my photos in ~/Pictures/. That's why some times when I shoot at the screen it might show pretty much anything at any given time. Well, maybe not porn though. ;)

Right now there is a scan of a "cartoon strip" Miro made drew last year:

Hahaha. Ok. Nice one.

@gamer00,
"So here's me and a chicken."
OMG you are going crazy! Just take a nap! Otherwise we could another "Image of your Hand Towel" soon :D
You looks smart there :D Red color face :O Ah sorry I think it's the chicken :D

Cheers~

I also like the game Final Fantasy. But forever there is not enough time, sometimes just like you sit up until the morning. Good morning.

Pretty bad when the new stuff breaks and the old stuff is still working.

Yep. But I'd prefer no stuff breaking, especially my camera, I'd prefer it to work and not having to buy another one any time soon.

Excellent photo @gamer00, I hope you had a good time before going to bed :)

Hadn't played computer or console games for a while so it was refreshing, although I did sleep well past noon afterwards.

having no internet these days is like having no oxygen ;)

Right... Not sure what to make of this pic... Lol.
