How disorientating! Which way is up?

I'd say the postitnotes
are hanging straight down.
and the xband poster is "correctly" oriented.

@b(From): Eeyore <evans@charm.ansoft.com> (via thang)

So where the fuck is the camera sitting?

The word XBAND appears to be flipped vertically (not rotated), but the
queen does not appear to be flipped.

@b(From): Eeyore <evans@charm.ansoft.com> (via thang)

The "A" in "XBAND" is upside-down.

Deliberately.

@b(From): Nathan Loofbourrow <loofbour@naomi.cgrg.ohio-state.edu> (via thang)

Some sort of goofy design decision.
 -Nathan Loofbourrow <daemon@sulaco.library.cmu.edu>

-------------------------Tue Jun 27 19:59:42 1995
Oh, yeah.
I'm playing with XV.
When I flip XBAND upside-down, the N is then screwed up.

I think the ac<->dc adapter sitting on the table is a giveaway.

and that's the big monitor peeking into the picture on the lower right

boy, good thing I spent 20 minutes adjusting my background color
 -Nathan Loofbourrow <daemon@sulaco.library.cmu.edu>

-------------------------Tue Jun 27 20:01:10 1995
Ah, yes.
Brighten the image and it gets much more understandable.

@b(From): Nathan Loofbourrow <loofbour@naomi.cgrg.ohio-state.edu> (via thang)

oh, that's right, you're all on doofy un-gamma-corrected monitors.
 -Nathan Loofbourrow <daemon@sulaco.library.cmu.edu>

-------------------------Tue Jun 27 20:02:49 1995
Hey, Nate.
Do you happen to know the exact "gamma correction factor" to type into XV?
 -Chris Nelson [Fuzball] <cn0m@unix5.andrew.cmu.edu>

-------------------------Tue Jun 27 20:03:59 1995
Or am I asking a doofy question?
 -Chris Nelson [Fuzball] <cn0m@unix5.andrew.cmu.edu>

-------------------------Tue Jun 27 20:04:21 1995
@b(From): Nathan Loofbourrow <loofbour@naomi.cgrg.ohio-state.edu> (via thang)

-------------------------Tue Jun 27 20:04:26 1995
@b(From): Dale Newfield <din5w@henson.cs.virginia.edu> (via thang)

what is that thing above the postitnotes?
 -Dale Newfield <daemon@sulaco.library.cmu.edu>

-------------------------Tue Jun 27 20:04:30 1995
@b(From): Eeyore <evans@charm.ansoft.com> (via thang)

It's a doofy question, but Nate should answer it anyway
for being such a geek.
 -Eeyore <daemon@sulaco.library.cmu.edu>

-------------------------Tue Jun 27 20:04:34 1995
@b(From): Nathan Loofbourrow <loofbour@naomi.cgrg.ohio-state.edu> (via thang)

Try a gamma of 2.2
 -Nathan Loofbourrow <daemon@sulaco.library.cmu.edu>

-------------------------Tue Jun 27 20:05:35 1995
@b(From): Nathan Loofbourrow <loofbour@naomi.cgrg.ohio-state.edu> (via thang)

Chris, if that makes it worse, try 1.0/2.2 = 0.45
 -Nathan Loofbourrow <daemon@sulaco.library.cmu.edu>

-------------------------Tue Jun 27 20:05:42 1995
@b(From): Nathan Loofbourrow <loofbour@naomi.cgrg.ohio-state.edu> (via thang)

so what's the doofy question?
 -Nathan Loofbourrow <daemon@sulaco.library.cmu.edu>

-------------------------Tue Jun 27 20:06:17 1995
@b(From): Nathan Loofbourrow <loofbour@naomi.cgrg.ohio-state.edu> (via thang)

oh, that. I'm pretty sure it's a balsa wood-rubber band airplane.
 -Nathan Loofbourrow <daemon@sulaco.library.cmu.edu>

-------------------------Tue Jun 27 20:07:16 1995
@b(From): Dale Newfield <din5w@henson.cs.virginia.edu> (via thang)

what is the double white circle under that?
looks like a pair of eyes to me...
 -Dale Newfield <daemon@sulaco.library.cmu.edu>

-------------------------Tue Jun 27 20:07:39 1995
@b(From): Dale Newfield <din5w@henson.cs.virginia.edu> (via thang)

@b(From): Nathan Loofbourrow <loofbour@naomi.cgrg.ohio-state.edu> (via thang)

specular reflections. looks like two of those round fluorescent bulbs.

@b(From): Nathan Loofbourrow <loofbour@naomi.cgrg.ohio-state.edu> (via thang)

oh, wait, that's a freakin' bulletin board. it's a thumbtack.
 -Nathan Loofbourrow <daemon@sulaco.library.cmu.edu>

-------------------------Tue Jun 27 20:08:35 1995
Yeah.  I'd agree with that.
 -Chris Nelson [Fuzball] <cn0m@unix5.andrew.cmu.edu>

-------------------------Tue Jun 27 20:08:57 1995
@b(From): Nathan Loofbourrow <loofbour@naomi.cgrg.ohio-state.edu> (via thang)

context is everything.

now you know why I'm not a computer vision researcher.

-------------------------Tue Jun 27 20:09:06 1995
@b(From): Eeyore <evans@charm.ansoft.com> (via thang)

Pushpin. There's one in the right hand postit as well.
 -Eeyore <daemon@sulaco.library.cmu.edu>

-------------------------Tue Jun 27 20:09:07 1995
@b(From): Dale Newfield <din5w@henson.cs.virginia.edu> (via thang)

so it looks like the camera was just spun around to the right.
(yeah I think thumbtack and plane are right.--I coulda sworn I saw a dog earlier.)
 -Dale Newfield <daemon@sulaco.library.cmu.edu>

-------------------------Tue Jun 27 20:09:37 1995
@b(From): Eeyore <evans@charm.ansoft.com> (via thang)

Jon @i(said) something about a dog...

I think we need that Hubble Space Telescope De-Blurring Software for that one.

-------------------------Tue Jun 27 20:12:32 1995
@b(From): Dale Newfield <din5w@henson.cs.virginia.edu> (via thang)

The black curved thing looks like hair.  there's a dark dot right where
an eye should be, and I think I see an ear-like white blob.
 -Dale Newfield <daemon@sulaco.library.cmu.edu>

-------------------------Tue Jun 27 20:12:59 1995
@b(From): Dale Newfield <din5w@henson.cs.virginia.edu> (via thang)

I think your imagination is taking off, now.
 -Eeyore <daemon@sulaco.library.cmu.edu>

-------------------------Tue Jun 27 20:13:59 1995
Yeah.  Even with false color I can't see enough detail to get anything out
of that.
 -Chris Nelson [Fuzball] <cn0m@unix5.andrew.cmu.edu>

-------------------------Tue Jun 27 20:14:37 1995
@b(From): Nathan Loofbourrow <loofbour@naomi.cgrg.ohio-state.edu> (via thang)

And the SHADOW UNDER THE NOSE! It shows it's the HEAD OF LEE HARVEY OSWALD
pasted onto the BODY of J. EDGAR HOOVER!

g'night, dale

-------------------------Tue Jun 27 20:14:38 1995
