if you were to go in the lighting business or something you will hear that they use the term "lamp" for what you would know as "light-bulb".

----

"Light-Bulb" is acceptable in regular terms, but you wouldn't use that in professional terms.[/font][/color]

To be fair though, they are the same thing. Just as in the film industry, a clapper board is also called a slate. Nobody cares for the 'real' terms.

When there's a distinct difference though, that's cause for correction. One of the people I worked with thought a shot and a take were the same thing, when they are actually two very different things.

I should try this one day.

I hate waking up. It takes too long. xD I should be awake soon.. Last night wasn't the best night of sleep. xD

So what is up everyone? Not much for me really, I have stuff I need to do today.

I should really get back into posting around here...

 

On the opposite end of the spectrum, I had the best night of sleep ever.

 

Dude, I woke up at nine and had no problem.

Midday errands are the worst thing ever, especially if you live in a desert, because not only do you have to do errands, you have to do them in 100 degree heat.

 

 

Good for you. xD By the way, I thought I would ask, what's the whole thing with you and (incandescent) lamps? (Or should I say Light Bulbs, though since I am a lighting enthusiast, I like to use the technical term which is "lamp".)

The guy that did my OC picture decided to shove a lightbulb in his mouth for no apparent reason. I thought it was pretty awesome, so I stuck with it.

Also, as a side note: I'm glad you said lightbulb in the brackets because I've never heard anyone refer to the actual light giving thingy as a lamp. 'Lamp' simply refers to the stick with a shade.

Well "lamp" is the technical term for "light bulb". I am a lighting enthusiast, I am into lighting, all types. High Intensity Discharge are my favorite, but I like other types too.

But if you were to go in the lighting business or something you will hear that they use the term "lamp" for what you would know as "light-bulb". Like a normal one would be the "Incandescent Lamp". Mainly professional terms use that. "Light-Bulb" is acceptable in regular terms, but you wouldn't use that in professional terms.

To be fair though, they are the same thing. Just as in the film industry, a clapper board is also called a slate. Nobody cares for the 'real' terms.

Couple things:

 

1. I still have the fingersmasher (clapperboard) from ages ago. http://i.imgur.com/rprhFAA.jpg

 

1.5. I tend to combine terms into one term, hence fingersmasher and clapperboard instead of each term being two words.

 

2. I still have this image, too. http://i.imgur.com/RJna6l2.png

 

3. I have a bigger problem with acronyms back at my other home site; like, for example, you have an acronym like FAR and FARR, even though both refer to different things, and things like mod and modd, even though they tend to be the same. And another one like GLR and TRAM. I need explaining, don't I?

Kinda relieved to see someone else is experiencing this too. I thought it was just me at first.

Yeah, its a site wide thing.

 

Hai. :^D

I'm pretty good atm, actually. Just woke up from a nap, having a nostalgia trip from the music in Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, and becoming close to my goal of getting the Regi's from the game so I can move them forward to X. x)

I'm good. I've been rewatching Oreimo and making Ruri avatars c: Other than that, not much.

 

Oh and I baked some cookies earlier today. Do you cook? :3

Ooo, that sounds like fun. I should rewatch that and my other favorites as well sometime.

 

Ooo, nice! I actually don't know how to cook or bake at all, but I totally wish I did. :z

For the longest, Ive really wanted to learn how to bake due to my mother who bakes sooo freaking much. Cooking has just been a growing interest for who knows how long. I actually wouldn't mind going to a school or something for it, but I doubt I'll actually go into it as a career.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH! ...... I'm bored.

Ever heard of Caravaneer 2? Really awesome game.

 

 Also, I'm writing this reply on my tablet. Feels weird to Write out a reply instead of typing it out. But it's easy to get the hang of after a while.

Nope, never heared of it. At all.

 

And I'm always replying from my nook now, never use the computer anymore.

I don't really know how to cook either, but the cookies were easy enough ^^ You should probably start with the simpler, easier-to-make recipes.

It's a really awesome post-apocalyptic economy-based free role-playing game that I wish more people knew about because it's really awesome and open-ended and you can do just about anything you want and its really cool that my tablet is able to recognize my own handwriting because its known to be really sloopy and Writing on my tablet just makes it worse but somehow it just works and I just wrote sloop instead of sloppy, didn't I?

yes, yes you did.

[Ganaram Inukshuk 3,682]

I think I'm becoming addicted to writing on my tablet.

[Lil'Cinnamon 1,587]

What's happening in here right now?

 

I got my dad's old computer working again. It was overheating earlier and the CPU fan broke off. But it works now, which is a good thing.
