OT - Photo galleries

Fran said:

Some of you have photo galleries on-line, hosted by
specialist photo gallery places. Do you have to ftp your
files to these galleries, or can you just click a button
to post them there as if they were ordinary emails?

I use Fotopic (fotopic.net) who provide 250Mb of storage and
hosting for free. To publish photos you first send them to
your incoming directory then log in and allocate them to new
or existing photo collections. You can get photos to your
incoming directory in three ways - ftp them to the fotopic
ftp server, use your web browser to send them ten at a time,
or email them to a special alias.

That's the sort of thing I was looking for - thanks. I'm
trying it as I type. <ifgnres rcsoesd>

Hope you like it. My fotopic album's at

Two different things, two different words, that's why
they're spelt differently.

Probably only because some thick computer people couldn't
spell in the first place and it stuck.

No - because someone was intelligent enough to foresee thick
people confusing the two, so they made the spelling
different. ;-)

No it's not. Same word. *Some* people spell it differently.
Most of us no longer do.

Hence, In OED:

programme (US & Austral. program) 1 printed list 2 radio or
TV broadcast 3 plan of future events 4 course or series of
studies, lectures 5 (usually program) a series of coded
instructions to control the operation of a computer or
other machine

So, according to the OED, computer programme is not
incorrect, but it is not usual.

No we don't. We/they all use the word program for a
computer program and we have since the 1970's at least. For
the sake of the thread I have just checked in an old GEC
4000 series manual from 1981 which uses "program" to mean
computer program. The GEC 4000 computers were 1970's
minicomputers build by British industry for British
industry with no involvement from the US at all. Sorry, you
may wish it were not so, but on this point of fact you are,
actually, incorrect!

Yep - when I started at ICL in 1970 it was "program".

Yeah, Chris, its a good site. I also post to

aimed at getting responses/advice on your pics. Upload 1 pic

Hard to say if I do or not at the moment. I tried to
upload some .jpgs via my browser (I have a track record of
not getting on with ftp programmes[1]) and when, as I
thought, they'd all gone, I got a rude message saying that
none of them could be accepted as they weren't 'proper'
images. Baffled.

[1] I'm fed up with compromising on spelling. They can
spell it their way; I'll spell it right.

Mine too, but a bit of feedback certainly helps at times.
Especially if I agree with it so can improve for next time.

Ahh yes, you don't really want to be sharing pics of your
kids with the world. But on the other hand, it's better to
have good photos of the kids rather than bad photos! ;-)

Oops, I always assumed you were a man, they're all men in
these groups! Sorry about that! :-) (I should know better,

Dead right Fran. And how how about disc or discs instead of
disks. And I am dead fed up with my various PROGRAMMES
telling me that colour is spelt color. Bring back English.

TV programme Computer program

Two different things, two different words, that's why
they're spelt differently.

According to the Oxford English dictionary (words in bold
are as in the dictionary);

*programme* (in computing *program*)
1. a plan of intended procedure.
2. a descriptive list of a series of events: these events.
3. a broadcast performance or entertainment.
4. *program,* a series of instructions to control the
operation of a computer.

The freesearch online British English dictionary lists them
as separate words;

With all due respect, darling... obllcosk. It's one

the American way for anything. I've always been a bit
of a rebel, and now I've got something to rebel

Four meanings according to the Oxford dictionary.

A TV programme is spelt "program" in the US. A computer
program is spelt "program" in the UK. Hence the Oxford
Dictionary's explanation - *programme* (US and in computing
*program*).

I'm afraid you haven't got anything to rebel against. It was
never spelt programme. There's no such thing as a computer
"programme" (unless you watch TV programmes on your
computer). It's always been spelt "program", that's the
correct British English spelling. Even if the word is of US
origin, that's how you spell it in English.

I've never thought of it as one word with two meanings, I've
always considered them to be two different words describing
two different things. The online *British* dictionary that I
linked to lists them as separate words. A TV programme is
completely different thing to a computer program.
