Livejournal picnic

[jack]

This weekend was the most recent cambridge livejournal picnic. Sunflowerinrain took crashspace, so I met her after croquet on saturday and we watched DVDs.

I cooked a pasta bake, which by combining my techinique of mixing pasta, mushrooms and nice vegetables, with sonic's technique of homepride pasta sauce, turned out really nice, and lasted through sunday.

The picnic started out small, but filled out to quite a lot of people. I do know[1] how many -- I took my camera and managed to photograph everyone there (except me, possibly a couple of people who arrived late, and a couple of trinity mathmos who were walking past). I don't know if they'll turn out very nice, I need to upload them.

How do you recommend I do that? It'd be nice to add captions, but I don't know who minds what combination of their face, username and real name being identified together in public or to my friendslist. (No namebadges were visible.)

I waved to everyone, chatted to nice people, put some more names to faces, and avoided writing down any quotes because they were all too disturbing :)

[1] I meaI have the knowledge, but I have the knowledge externally, not in my brain. I want to say extelligence, but there must be an ordinary word for that.

Comments

Suggestion?

Post a list of the usernames you have, and say "Comment if I can post your pic here." If you post any real names, screen comments (so people can say "I'm Corrvin Smith and you can post my pic, but don't put my real name with it, use my LJ handle).

Yes, except I don't know everyone's handle. Maybe post all the pictures and let people identify themselves.

Also, not everyone friends me or picnic_meme, but I don't think there's any way roudn that.

Post to the picnic community? Probably you are more likely to meet people who object there. Personally I gave up trying to hide who I am a long time ago...

I'm thinking I *should* have tried to hide, given that someone from work could find my journal if they wanted. But it's probably too late.

But I know not everyone is ok with it.

"information"?

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

Mmmmm. Yes, but I don't think information is *necessarily* not in my brain. (Not that extelligence isn't, but people should guess that.)

"I kept a record of everyone who attended"?
Ph34r my l33t verbal skillz (or something).

I'm sure it would have been nice to meet you, if we'd done more meeting!

*waves* We applaud your organisation :) We'll chat another time.

OK, ok, actually I could just leave out the bracket entirely because "I know" is followed by "photograph everyone who was there" which makes it quite clear.

Do a poll for people to fill in whether they want the various representations of themselves to be linked.

On the subject of unquotables, I seem to remember promising to do a poll for condom slogans...

I'm happy for ljname to be used (I use real photos for userpics, after all), and you can also use my real-life nickname - which is Fluffy.

I'd put them on flickr with the setting that allows anyone to tag photos, then tell people to add their own name/username/other handle as appropriate.
