You are from Spain, the place of birth of Pablo Picasso, so I trust your artistic sense ;)

I'm honored, but If I had artistic sense, I'll erase your whole photo of the trash bins.
You know, the pink bin is not enough sexy for me. XD

Well, I think I'll simply take some photo quizzes taking notes and I'll see what should be erased. I think the main problem is just the size.

I have to leave now. Maybe tomorrow I will begin to upset users. Sorry guys and girls!

Hehe, Big Boss believes in cubism! People developed the rondo-cubism in my country. Then they managed to build the *rounded* cubism-buidings in that style...
spanz March 9, 2010, 9:07 am

Yes, all those rounded buttons here are clearly rondo-cubism, and the trash bins photo is rondo-cubins...
Hahaha! Sorry!
Hey, even Beeant's avatar is a cube!
beeant March 9, 2010, 9:12 am

haha, what is wrong with my rubbish bin photo? why do you hate it so much ><

picasso didnt only paint cubism, he also painted realism paintings, wasn't he?
spanz March 9, 2010, 11:27 am

It's not your rubbish bin photo.
It's your cubbish bin photo.
Nah, I love it, but that photo is perfect to make silly jokes.
And yes, Picasso painted realism, too, although he's not famous for it.

Quick Guide:

- Delete non sense tags such as tag that doesn't give a clear idea of the tagged vocabulary. (small pic is OK as long as it still make some sense)

- Same/similar tagged vocabulary is allowable as long as both pics have some sense of art.

- Think twice before deleting the tags that have some sense of 'eye candy' or artistic feel.

Basically, I just want it too look nice in the photo practice page
(Make Sense, Eye Candy, Artistic, Sexy)

Thank You,
bn
spanz March 8, 2010, 12:53 pm

What about colors?
Those plain filled rectangles cropped from colored surfaces, have they sense of art?
And written signs?
The associated word is the same you see in the photo, so they have not graphic value, have they?
beeant March 8, 2010, 1:11 pm

I will leave that to you. Honestly I'm also confused about that haha.

I think if the associated words is good just leave as it is for now. but if the words too small and doesnt look that good, then just DELETE it.

i think tagged vocabulary that means color is fine with just plain filled rectangles. but plain rectangles that doesnt show anything is non sense.

I think you have to know that one of the purposes of the Photo Practice is for entertainment. "Enjoy Browsing Photos, while Learning Japanese".

of course those small rectangles (even color vocabulary), associated words picture, doesnt look really good, we wont enjoy looking at those kind of images. but for now I think we dont to be too severe on deleting tags, we also need some tags to fill in the Photo Practice.

After more tags have been added, we will do more severe clean up.
beeant beeant March 8, 2010, 11:45 am
Hello spanz,

I just want to tell you that you are now a moderator in JCJP. you have the right to delete Vocabulary tags in Photo Pages.

よろしくお願いします
bn
spanz March 8, 2010, 12:47 pm

Ugh! Moderator sounds too severe and strict.
Can't you name it in a more light and sweet way?
Something like Avenger, Punisher, Angel of Wrath... XD
beeant beeant February 24, 2010, 1:17 pm
Hello spanz, long time no talk, I have been not so active these days. I still have your emails, don't worry, I just want to read your email with full concentration haha.
Anyway, just a simple request, since I think that you care about the quality of this site's content, and had been participated a lot on JCJP improvements, I would need more of your help =(...
If you are interested, I want to make you to become a moderator.

You just need to delete some photo tags, video vocabularies, etc (maybe more in the future, because I have to make some features for moderators also) I can trust your taste on choosing the good tags, and video vocabularies.

if you are interested, please tell me.

Thank You,
bn
spanz February 25, 2010, 11:02 am

喜んで！
Lately, I've been kind of busy (Japanese unrelated stuff). In some days, I'll have more free time, so don't worry. Besides, switching activities can be refreshing, and a little cleaning here and there won't take too much time.
Tell me what you want me to do!
beeant beeant February 8, 2010, 9:39 am
ooh I know now, you are using proxy!? haha sorry
spanz February 8, 2010, 11:01 am

As Laura can't see the videos, I was just testing a random proxy to see if the videos can still be accessed through it. Maybe she can watch the videos this way.
beeant beeant February 8, 2010, 9:37 am
how come your location is Japan? are you in Japan? or it is a hack? =D
spanz February 8, 2010, 11:03 am

I wish I were there, but I'm not.
Darknaviexe Darknaviexe January 29, 2010, 12:52 pm
I can learn kanji with ease, but distinguishing and remembering them are a problem, forcing me to use kana until a later time.
spanz January 30, 2010, 2:58 am

Well, 'till now, you are not writing with a brush, are you? That would require you to know what you are writing.
If you know the Kana reading of a Kanji, you can let the IME convert it into Kanji for you (just push the space bar!). If there's more than one choice (likely), you can often guess wich one you want. And if you can't, just choose one and check it later for correctness. That's not so difficult, and it's useful as training for recognizing Kanji, too.
Darknaviexe Darknaviexe January 27, 2010, 3:24 pm
Real nice! Kanji only challenges!? Kanji is my weakness! You are on!!

Hahaha... don't complain, you started the war!
Darknaviexe January 27, 2010, 3:52 pm

...Let the war continue. It only means we both will side with different groups here. I can gain kanji experience while continuing to challenge you... Besides, it only means I will reach a higher rank...
spanz January 27, 2010, 3:55 pm

How are you going to reach a higher rank with only draws? They don't count, you know...
Darknaviexe January 27, 2010, 3:58 pm

Easy. I am still gaining experience. Besides, I will have to win...eventually...*echoes*
beeant beeant January 19, 2010, 2:54 am
Ok, actually its like chosen photos (synonym).

Does this make more sense?

Thank you so much for translating =D
beeant beeant January 18, 2010, 10:56 am
no I didnt delete any challenges...
I think its correct calculation, I didnt include the challenges we did in the test version.

There is nothing to do in the Pick Up Photos tab. just see the photos.
beeant beeant January 18, 2010, 10:10 am
Hello,

The lighting is the effect from the low shutter speed, I think its normal for a photo taken by SLR.

Pick up Photos is just for some extra attraction in the front page. Does it work?

Actually the 60 seconds is caused by the delay/lag of the server >.< its kind of irritating.

what do you mean by miniskirt could help? 笑/w and miniskirt is unrelated, isn't it...? >.<
beeant beeant January 17, 2010, 7:33 am
I'm using Sigma DP2, its a Compact DSLR and its difficult camera. I'm just a newbie on using that Camera. take a look at http://www.rytterfalk.com/ his photos are so beautiful, compared to mine. He uses the same camera on some photos.

I'll just leave as it is for my other photos.. too lazy to reupload haha
beeant beeant January 16, 2010, 11:08 pm
Hello,
Thanks so much for your knowledge sharing about aliasing. I did some googling, and now I know what you mean. Its like something that supposed to be a straight-line but it becomes something not straight.

I think it was because of the conversion method in the OLD JCJP. or maybe the old server didnt have the latest image processing library. I tried to reupload the same picture, and it looks OK now, isnt it?

Thanks =D
beeant beeant January 16, 2010, 7:31 am
do you mean in the thumbnail or the big photo?
if its in the thumbnail, yes i dont like it also, its like there is a dotted noise :(
beeant beeant January 16, 2010, 12:16 am
Hi, what do you mean by aliasing?
is it a good thing or a bad thing?
beeant beeant January 3, 2010, 7:34 pm
fixed! Victoria!
beeant beeant January 3, 2010, 5:27 pm
Ya thats a problem.
I am planning to change the chart to be javascript chart instead of flash.
beeant beeant January 3, 2010, 5:13 pm
About the notification, I like the way it is now (being stuborn). Though it is true about the round corners.

The header and buttons has shadows now, its hard to notice though.
beeant beeant January 3, 2010, 4:40 pm
is the notification better now?
beeant beeant January 3, 2010, 3:40 pm
Oh, im glad it wasnt a bug =)

ya i dont know what color should I use for the hyper link.. I will try and change. Thanks!
what do you think about the new header and buttons?
