In hairstyle, maybe? really though, I don't see much of a resemblance? FWIW HP's been compared with Virginia North ("Vulnavia") Never Rebecka Hall to my knowledge.


It's HP alright!


And most of all beauty of soul!


In all sincerity, I wouldn't doubt it for a second!

Mercy! I'm only a "professional student" barely a "scholar" and by no means a "man of letters". So I think you're offering, in the interests of amity, to agree to disagree or hold any comparison in permanent abeyance? Accepted!

 

It's none other than @Hypatia's Protege!

Think your going to be on the top of her list when she gets wind of this. You will now have all of the people here that attend Hamfest's looking for her! But have to admit she is a beautiful woman, and can see why you've been infatuated.

My bad, for not giving more context in my previous post. As a professional nerd, I sometimes make the mistake of assuming that everyone's a fan of Tolkien LOTR (and by that, I mean the books)

Here's the passage in question. It should fully clarify what I meant:

http://tolkienblog.com/books/morning-evening-gimli-and-eomer-war/

The Rider looked at them with renewed wonder, but his eyes hardened. ‘Then there is a Lady in the Golden Wood, as old tales tell!’ he said. ‘Few escape her nets, they say. These are strange days! But if you have her favour, then you also are net-weavers and sorcerers, maybe.’ He turned a cold glance suddenly upon Legolas and Gimli. ‘Why do you not speak, silent ones?’ he demanded.

Gimli rose and planted his feet firmly apart: his hand gripped the handle of his axe, and his dark eyes flashed. ‘Give me your name, horse-master, and I will give you mine, and more besides,’ he said.

‘As for that,’ said the Rider, staring down at the Dwarf, ‘the stranger should declare himself first. Yet I am named Éomer son of Éomund, and am called the Third Marshal of Riddermark.’

‘Then Éomer son of Éomund, Third Marshal of the Riddermark, let Gimli the Dwarf Glóin’s son warn you against foolish words. You speak evil of that which is fair beyond the reach of your thought, and only little wit can excuse you.’

Éomer’s eyes blazed, and the men of Rohan murmured angrily, and closed in, advancing their spears. ‘I would cut off your head, beard and all, Master Dwarf, if it stood but a little higher from the ground,’ said Éomer.

‘He stands not along,’ said Legolas, bending his bow and fitting an arrow with hands that moved quicker than sight. ‘You would die before your stroke fell.’

Éomer raised his sword, and things might have gone ill, but Aragorn sprang between them, and raised his hand. ‘Your pardon, Éomer!’ he cried. ‘When you know more you will understand why you have angered my companions’ (TTT, 422).

***********

… Éomer of Rohan came riding to the City, and with him came an éoredof the fairest knights of the Mark. He was welcomed; and when they sat all at table in Merethrond, the Great Hall fo Feasts, he beheld the beauty of the ladies that he saw and was filled with great wonder. And before he went ot his rest he sent for Gimli the Dwarf, and he said to him: ‘Gimli Glóin’s son, have you your axe ready?’

‘Nay, lord,’ said Gimli, ‘but I can speedily fetch it, if there be need.’

‘You shall judge,’ said Éomer. ‘For there are certain rash words concerning the Lady in the Golden Wood that lie still between us. And now I have seen her with my eyes.’

‘Well, lord,’ said Gimli, ‘and what say you now?’

‘Alas!’ said Éomer. ‘I will not say that she is the fairest lady that lives.’

‘Then I must go for my axe,’ said Gimli.

‘But first I will plead this excuse,’ said Éomer. ‘Had I seen her in other company, I would have said all that you could wish. But now I will put Queen Arwen Evenstar first, and I am ready to do battle on my own part with any who deny me. Shall I call for my sword?’

Then Gimli bowed low. ‘Nay, you are excused for my part, lord,’ he said. ‘You have chosen the Evening; but my love is given to the Morning. And my heart forebodes that soon it will pass away for ever’ (RotK, 953).

 

Think your going to be on the top of her list when she gets wind of this. You will now have all of the people here that attend Hamfest's looking for her! But have to admit she is a beautiful woman, and can see why you've been infatuated.

I got the idea of a reminder of better days to come when she seemed a little depressed after a destructive electrical fire in her Gen plant last February. You know, a visual reminder that the Hamvention, along with hamfest and auction season (that she loves) were just around the corner. Even though @Aleph(0) took the pic (sometime last year) and didn't share it online, I wanted to make sure it couldn't dox her (HP) by bringing up a "similar image" of her in image searches! Checking that out took awhile! But maybe that's just as well! Now the season is already started and the Hamvention is only a month away!

But have to admit she is a beautiful woman, and can see why you've been infatuated.

Yes! that's true! And because her beauty is so much more than only skin deep I'm very much in love with her and always will be! I hope she knows it's not "dirty desires"! It's more like the abiding respect, almost religious ardor, of the type depicted in the poem posted by @cmartinez I'm tempted to call my feelings for her "Platonic" but that term, in both word and concept, is just too loaded to "touch"!

Think your going to be on the top of her list when she gets wind of this.

You're probably right! HP's inability to accept compliments and gratitude is her one and only weakness

 

@Jazz2C I've been on that list for different reasons, but all good now, I think.

 

Re: The unauthorized publication of the below linked image of myself apparent upon post #1332 of this thread:

So you thought to cheer me up with a 'doxing'? --- Thanks a lot, pal!

EDIT to add, the picture is of HP herself! Not the actress of her avatar! Sry for my ambiguous ramblings

When the subject is ultimate beauty, pose and photographic talent are irrelevant!
As anyone with eyes can see, this most causal shot captures the absolute physical and spiritual beauty of the subject to the full extent that such extreme beauty can be captured!

To the subject, my dearest friend @Hypatia's Protege, you know that I'd never jeopardize your privacy! O/C you know it's impossible for the pic to be in the cloud! But I took the precaution of putting it through every paid and gratis image search app on the web to make certain there are no hits on "similar images". None even come close!

My dearest friend, I know your modesty won't let you "thank" me for this so you know this is no attempt at ingratiation!

Yes! that's true! And because her beauty is so much more than only skin deep I'm very much in love with her and always will be! I hope she knows it's not "dirty desires"!

Isn't that special! You speak of 'respect'? Did it occur to you that had I wished to share an image of myself I would have done so of my own accord?

Sugarcoat it with all the cloying sentiment you like! Rationalize it as you will -- The fact remains that your unauthorized publication of my image is a dox and a dox is a betrayal in 'my book'!

you know that I'd never jeopardize your privacy! O/C you know it's impossible for the pic to be in the cloud! But I took the precaution of putting it through every paid and gratis image search app on the web to make certain there are no hits on "similar images". None even come close!

Thus it seems, by way of analogy, that it's 'ok' to hijack my yacht so long as you don't tear up the quay in the process? But then, perhaps, you're 'saving' my name for your next 'surprise'?

BTW I'm sorry if I mislabeled the setting!? @Aleph(0) thinks it's the new Dayton location but for my money it has to be Touhy's Yesteryear show?

@Aleph(0)! --- Be advised that should I discover that you had foreknowledge of JC's plans to post my image -- my involvement with the EHT effort, the thread and 'team management' will be at an end!

Should either of you have anything to say to me in regards to this matter you may do so publicly on the EHT thread... Be advised that I've no interest in --and little patience for-- apologies! Though I feel I'm owed an honest explanation!

@cmartinez although such was no doing of mine - I nonetheless offer apologies for the disruption visited upon your thread 'in my name' by @Jazz2C and (so it seems) aleph(0)

Sincerely
HP

@cmartinez Sry to drag this out further on your thread but since @Hypatia's Protege basically impugned my character on here I have 2 respond here 2b sure same ppl see it! So I promise 2 keep post short as possible! So HP and JC you can reply on EHT thread! Cuz after what I'm saying here it's like _EHT thread business_ which is vry lame I know But that can change for better too!

@Aleph(0)! --- Be advised that should I discover that you had foreknowledge of JC's plans to post my image -- my involvement with the EHT effort, the thread and 'team management' will be at an end

HP if ur looking for excuse to skate out of EHT tutorials then all I can say is u need 2 look elsewhere cuz all I'm guilty of is taking that pic of you standing by stagecoach at antique show last summer and looking through files on SD card with JC last Feb! He just said he wanted pic of you at _swapfests_ and like that! He DEFINITELY DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABT POSTING PIX OF YOU! So anyhow he DLed card (which was mostly full of files u left on there which were just those totally boring HD disassembly pix of 500Mhz TDO which u restored. So definitely nothing vry _sensitive_! Just pix I took at events and like that!) and that's last I heard of it until your RUDE emails!

Anyhow setting record straight, like u know that's just pic I took of you at Touhy's yesteryear _lollapalooza_ when u were watching for funnel cloud formation in storm across river! (@Jazz2C It definitely was NOT Dayton and I never said it was!) So I say JC is double f'ked up saying I thought it was Dayton AND thinking that would be fond memory of antique show when u were worried all your purchases were in path of storm!

HP now I'm going to tell you something! You should have been suspecting JC was up 2 something ever since he made this post on Feb 25! Here:

OBTW @Hypatia's Protege, I have a photographic surprise to pluck you from the depths of your "electrical depression" with memories of better times and thoughts of better days to come! In the words of your often recited "ancient broadcaster": stay tuned!

and also started asking u questions abt how to use blog! HP now look on this:

Heres address of PLL+ schematic in his blog that he test linked on post 1956 of EHT thread:
https://forum.allaboutcircuits.com/attachments/bw_pll_plus_fig7-gif.174534/

Here's address of the piccy of you:
https://forum.allaboutcircuits.com/attachments/hpdaton-jpg.174533/

So since they're just one apart in time on site with as heavy traffic as AAC I say it could only happen if he uped both pix in same queue! So that means they're BOTH on his blog! But when I look on his blog only pic I see is of PLL+ so that means post w/ your pic attached is restricted access! So HP if I were u I'd definitely want to know who's on viewer list! So I say you should check JC's blog 2 see if ur on list cuz if not he's playing major league games!

HP I'm vry PO'ed and sad that you'd suspect me of scheming 2 post ur pic! Cuz like u say doxing is definitely an act of betrayal and u totally know me better than that! So being fair in @Jazz2C's case it's prolly more just cluelessness than treachery. But accusing me is just wrong!

Be advised that I've no interest in --and little patience for-- apologies!

HP speaking just for myself I say DON'T worry abt it cuz I don't owe u an apology! BUT I SAY YOU OWE ME BIG TIME APOLOGY!

HP So anyhow it's time for YOU to put things in perspective! So now AAC members can recognize u on sight! Big deal! Think of me! Cuz now I have to face site where everyone knows my mom looks like a _goth mafiosa_ Sry HP but u definitely deserved that!

 

So I promise 2 keep post short...

Fail.

 

Since this is the picture this thread, the whole HP, Aleph0 and Jazz thing looks like this from far away -

Made me laugh because it’s disappointing at all times when this forum are used in this manner. Your post at the least brought a smile to my face.

 

If that is really you HP, you are stunningly beautiful. Please kiss me and turn me into your handsome prince!

You need to get that wax out of your ears, she has a old film camera and what she said was 'One day my PRINTS will come'
Max.

What did you say?
Wait a minute while I get my hearing aids on.

 

 

 

LOL, I've got a batch of vanilla ice cream cooking on the stove right now!

 

Fail.

Joeyd999 I said short as POSSIBLE! So maybe I could have said what I needed 2 w/o quip at end of that post but I was just trying to _lighten mood_

because it’s disappointing at all times when this forum are used in this manner.

Djsfantasi I totally agree with you that sidetracking other ppl's threads is vry bad etiquette But I also say that invasion of privacy (by which I mean JC posting HP's pic) and unfounded accusations (HP basically saying I was involved) needed 2b initially addressed where it happened! So now that HP and I have totally done that I wouldn't even be posting this now if it wasn't for smart alecky posts dragging me back on here to defend my statement! @Jazz2C is instigator so if u need 2 hassle someone he's the one! Cuz there's nothing wrong with HP insisting on privacy or with me setting record straight abt my actions in same venue where aspersions were cast!

So for ppl who just have to make _smart remarks_ ur totally welcome 2 do it on EHT thread and we can spar with gloves ON cuz this is site for adult behaved ppl after all! But being totally honest we prefer on-topic too!

So no hard feelings at all! But I'm asking can we PLZ just drop it?

 

I have been reincarnating some old Commodore 64 "stuff" that I have been storing and schlepping since about 1984-1986. Here is my old 1541 drive.



See all that kludgy wirewrap? I did that. I added memory to the drive. Now, I am certain that I didn't come up with how to do this, but I can't remember the article, or I would let you know.



That's an AM9128, 2Kx8 SRAM. So, with that in place, I could write specialized routines to run on the drive. I did this almost completely for S & G at the time, but it turned out to be valuable.

Through some non-scientist friends (and two of the best programmers that I have ever known), I learned of a fellow who was sitting at a commercial disk copy machine for hours making commercial game copies. He would do the C64 on one side and then go through the entire stack again to place the Atari version on the other side. I figured out how to put both on the same side (that's where the modified drive came in as I had to write to fifferent tracks explicitedly) and they were happy to pay me to do that. As a grad student, I can tell you that at the time, getting a few hundred bucks was like hit the lottery!

As far as that piggyback kludge method, I learned that a few years earlier because of a Don Lancaster article about adding a ram chip to the TRS-80 to get lowercase descender (this was a big deal at the time). I could not completely understand how to get +5 and G and I called him on the phone (this was years before I bought the TTL Cookbook). He actually talked to me and I remember him saying "just take it from any of the chips". Eventually I understood.

Now, I know this stuff is no big deal for some of the hard core on this board, but I thought it was absolutely cool!
