FogBat Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Does it get any more self-righteous then the opening of that post? It's usually better if you don't slap people in the face immediately before making your post. It was not meant to come across as self-righteous, but I do apologize for having offended you that way. It probably would have come off better had I dropped the first half of that sentence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FogBat Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) Nope! Not for some time, now! ... :P . Not since 1453. Having said that, I'm not sure if you've read this man's novels. I haven't read them, but I thought that you might be interested in them - given when and where they're set. Once I posted it I thought oh crap now I'm being a dick.

frissonic Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 photoshop. when i can take a hodgepodge of pics and pop them in to PS for a panoramic merge, and it comes out looking like it was one pic, that's awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) You know, even old New York was once New Amsterdam. Actually, if I am not mistaken, the Dutch "purchased" (from the Seneca "Indians" ... I don't like that term ----- First Nations) the area that is now Buffalo, NY around 1800. Someone started calling it New Amsterdam, but it seems like he was the only person to do so and the name didn't stick. Not since 1453. Having said that, I'm not sure if you've read this man's novels. I haven't read them, but I thought that you might be interested in them - given when and where they're set. Thanks for the heads-up. I have heard of him and his treck, but have not read any of his books. FYI ... Istanbul is one of my favourite cities. haha I would love to see a modern take on Buck Rogers. I'd prefer a modern remake of Duck Dodgers ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_Dodgers Edited June 22, 2012 by Sabres Fan In NS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone started calling it New Amsterdam, but it seems like he was the only person to do so and the name didn't stick. Looks like you're mostly correct on both parts, the purchase is kind of correct: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holland_Land_Company And the name appears to be correct: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo,_New_York I knew about the land company part, but I never caught the name. I guess the Dutch are lucky we let them keep Amsterdam, NY as-is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksabre Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 My power has been out all morning. At first I wanted to complain, but then decided it's actually very pleasant. Sittin out on the deck in the cool air makin toast and beans with the gas grill. Not an air conditioner in the whole complex is running. Nice and quiet. Although I'm sure as soon as I post this it'll come back on. But it sure will be nice while it lasts. Awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
