Triple Decker Sketchy Tablet Update!

Ok, I'm really relieved and glad I read that through and then some. I was already aware of the basic laws, but I had to read them myself. Anyways, I only posted these basics for everyone else's benefit, just in case any one may be wondering and is unaware of how this works. I'd like to think I'd be doing other artists/authors a possible favor. 🙂

I'm covered, but I think it will be completely safe if I register the work for that fee. I have to read up more on that though before I do it.

All in all, I'm relieved. :happy:

Too bad the Non-tickling Art Forum idea never went anywhere. I know that non-fetish art tends to be swallowed up quickly. It would be nice to have a reliable place to locate it. It would probably inspire more artists to submit non-fetish art, as well.

That copyright material sounds like an almighty pain. It's critical, I know, but legaleese makes my eyes glaze over. I fully sympathize.

Most of my humor tends to be self-depricatory. That's a defense mechanism, I suppose: if you're making fun of yourself, you're not going to upset anyone and you're less likely to get into fights. Of course, looking back at that post, nothing I said was particularly amusing. It actually comes across as a bit silly. I don't know why I became so dire and portentious! When I said I was too old to do any important work, I suppose I meant in a world-view sense (as in producing something historians would site or recognize). Actually, I consider my posts at TTC very important. The attention I get is great, and it really makes me feel connected to the community. For years, I'd sketch and write expressly for my personal edification, for the raw thrill of creative expression. Which is fine, but a bit lonely. Posting here feels like the payoff I've missed for so long! It's pretty addicting, really, and very inspiring.

All that copyright material sneaked it as I was writing my last post! Lord, that stuff is insideous! I try reading it, and it's so dry it won't adhere to my memory! Guess I should really make the effort, since you were kind enough to provide it.

 

[Celtic_Emperor]

LOL, you're a unique one. How great to share the company of wonderfully colorful people such as this. :happy:

Yeah, the non-tickling artwork forum idea seems to be on hold. Because it requires a seal of approval from the owner, and he's not really around anymore, its what it is. Thats fine, I suppose. It gives even more time for my case to gain credibility and following.

As for reading all of that, you don't have to read it here, but rather at your leisure at the actual site: http://www.copyright.gov/

 

[Low_Roads]

Thanks for the website, Vlad! I've saved it to my "favoirte places" file. It's nice to know it's there in case I need it. Who knows? I may want to turn professional yet. And there's no such thing as too much knowledge.

Whatever did happen to TT? Does anyone know? He was posting at the beginning of the year, then suddenly "poof!" It's mysterious and a little disturbing. Frankly, I don't understand how these forums operate at all. They can't be cheap to run, and no one's being charged to participate. What does TT get out of this, besides an atomphere he seems to like? Guess I ought to soft-pedal these remarks. I'm looking a gift horse in the mouth.

 

[Celtic_Emperor]

Most people would assume he's just too busy in life to actually be a presense here anymore or at this time. Obviously he cares to some degree because the site is still open and someone is paying the bill. But people that have actually talked to him would know better.

Anyways, yes, you shouldn't say die as an artist. I think if you're still capable of doing it, you should keep it going well into old age.

Right back at'cha. But then, vampires don't age, do they? :laughing:

I don't know if this is proper etiquette on a thread, but we've had a good back and forth discussion (almost in real time), and I didn't want to bail out without telling you I was leaving. Talk to you again!

 

[Celtic_Emperor]

Vampires age, just like elves, but the ravishes of age aren't felt or seen really. 😛

As for bailing out, don't feel you have to be here on my account. Go do what you've got to do. Its not like you're on my time or anything. Later!

Also, that is the official government website for copyrights, just in case you didn't notice that. So all of the laws and information there is official and current. Its not from a third party, so you can trust it's accuracy.

 

[Low_Roads]

The site is very well laid out and thorough. And the language isn't as intimidating as it seemed at first blush. I suspect it will be easy enough to absorb if taken deliberately in small doses. That's the way I better try it... purely instructional data tends to be heavy going if tried all at once. That's always been my experience. I find after a while that I can't retain the things I read. Of course, there isn't necessarily a need to keep it all in one's head. The site can always be used for specific reference.

 

[Celtic_Emperor]

I have a photographic memory, so that usually helps me retain information. Sometimes it doesn't always work though...

 

[Low_Roads]

I have a phonographic memory. All my literature is on tapes, these days...

I've heard of photographic memory, of course, but you're the first person I've ever known who actaully has the ability. Does it help you process information or just store it for you? And is it selective? I mean, can you illiminate data that's irrelevant? I've never read much about this phenomenon, and my understanding of it is thin.

My memory can be pretty unreliable, especially for information I don't personally use (abstract historical data, say). I have particularly poor recall regarding names. Don't think that hasn't caused embarrassment!

wait for it....wait for it...

I have a pornographic memory 😀

I haven't been tested for it, but I'm almost sure I have it. I can recall very vivid images, sounds, voices, noises, lines, dialogue, and even slight changes in the environment, like atmospheric pressure and I have great depth perception and visual aqquity. I seem to be very sensitive to these types of things.

I also have what you have..so what is it called when you have both a photographic memory and a phonographic memory?

To answer you questions specfically:

1.) It helps me both process and store information, but I'd say mostly store at first, then I'm able to filter things around, which happens on it's own. I don't intentionally do it all the time.

2.) It can be selective. Sometimes what I call "static" gets through though, extra hash I don't need, so I filter it out.

3.) Yes, I can illiminate data, though sometimes its difficult if that image or sound was dependant on something else or attached to something else. So sometimes its takes longer than other times.

Don't worry, it happens to the best of us. Just the other day I had trouble recollecting someone's real name, rather than their online name. Though I'd like to think it can be excused due to other factors.

This is probably a huge reason why I am articulate. And spiritually, it helps as well, it helps me sense things. Of course, thats another matter for another time.

For something I have I sure don't know enough about it. I've got some net searching to do tomorrow. 🙂

Episode II


Edit: There..see? I just did it right now. I didn't plan on saying that or quoting anything, and I wasn't thinking about Star Wars or Palpatine either. My mind immediately started moving and instantly selected a properly fitting quote (out of a wealth of possible quotes) which only took about half a second to think, plus the typing time(the edit)...like another 7 seconds. :weird:

 

[Low_Roads]

A pornographic memory... yeah, me too. I remember sex... once upon a time...

I'd be interested to learn what you come up with, Vlad. It's a fascinating fascility, one that makes for a huge advantage. Me, my fantasy images have always been a bit more vivid than my actual remembrances. My memories tend to be tinged with large quantities of subjectivity, to the point that some of them are almost abstract. Hmmm.... I wonder if that's a recognizable condition as well.

 

[Celtic_Emperor]

That makes sense. You probably use the right side of you brain (the creative side) more when you're delving into fantasy. It makes sense, especially with fantasy. Sci-fi is a mixture of left brain (logic)/right brain(creative) activity, etc.

 

[Low_Roads]

Ah! You're right! I remember reading that now! A further example of the advantages of a photographic memory!
