Horological Meandering

Team, After pressing insert a thousand times and by reading ten times more posts from others, here is what I learned so far: 1) The world has some hope and this forum is a clear demonstration Here, at the PuristsPro, we have a gathering of persons all ove...  

I always enjoy your posts and drool over your pictures. Thanks and I look forward to the next 1000! Best Andreas

Thank you for your kindly words. Let's see what I can learn during the next 1000. Cheers, Nilo

1000 posts and many more to go i think, but please cut out the perfect pics it makes us feel inferior. Graham

I'm very far away from the perfect pic. Who knows, some day ... This week, check the wrist scan, I learned that even with a smartphone camera one can take good pics. "Follow the light" is my new motto. Thank you very much, Nilo

we have the same phone and i cant do it so its down to imagination and a bit of lateral thinking. best G

Graham, Last week I got the Android "Ice Cream Sandwich" update. Among other enhancements, the phone app is better. Of course, I plan to continue to use the Camera 360. The "secret sauce" for good pics is to take MANY and do a selection. Cheers, Nilo

can you pm me with details of the new update please. i may already have it, but who knows. G

Congratulations! I always enjoy your posts and photos. You are a great contributor to this site. Keep on posting, my friend! Best always, respo

Respo, I'm glad that you enjoy my broken English posts. Thanks a lot, Nilo

Like Andreas and so many others here I have always enjoyed your contribution here. I agree completely with the contents of your post. And the tone in which you wrote it just shows why you fit in so perfectly on PPro. Looking forward to many more posts fro...

MW, Last time I was 1K (United Airlines!!!) I was entitled to board before the others for long and boring trips. Thanks, Nilo

Here we can express ourselves without making ourselves ridiculous ..... errrrr ....... i think. As for the usual suspects, IMO we have a lot of them around here .... but be prepared because i might have a Supercool post coming next week. The event is due ... 

Provided that this includes Belgian chocolates, I'm in. Thank you, Nilo

Unfortunately our friend is not joining the party. Real crooks only ...... Errrrrrr , i meant Belgians Filip

And it was great to meet you, too, because the only thing you forgot to say is that these GTGs are the top of the top, allowing the virtual friendship to turn into reality. Thanks for your contribution, your friendhip, and your interesting posts. Best, Ni... 

I'm a little far away from your 50K but ... I'm working on that. One thing, on human relations, that amazes me is the fact that, no matter what we can do over the Internet, nothing replaces a face-to-face conversation. In our case, washed with a decent es... 

A pity I didn't have a camera, this day! All the best, my friend. Vlad.

and I agree that the world can learn a lot from this site..!! To me it's like a friendly virtual/real family who cheers me up after a rough day Here's to your next 1000 my friend, Andy.

I started out on the other place which shall not be named and came here as It was such a more cordial place. Certainly the diversity of views (very much civil), range of interests, technical knowledge etc made it all a multi-layered experience. You know e...
