People are used to talk about allegro conventions that unfortunately are too hard to organise. I am curious about who the people around here are. For 95 % of them I would say I only know them by nickname.
The interest for an allegro convention shows that people are also interested in the people behind the nicknames. I know there are lots of you who love it to stay anonymous, and it is your good right to do that, but for the rest it would be interesting if you could post some pictures of you and your city you live in. I will do that as well when I get my new data cable for my digi cam.
edit: While waiting for your posts: I can't figure out why that doesn't work!

A.CC people look scary in photographs. 
[EDIT: No offense, X-G. I wrote this before seeing your post.]
How about everyone just draws a picture of themselves?

Ungrateful f*tz#$!@.
I just took a photo of myself and resized it to 80x80. It's in my profile.
And my nick is my name.
Hey! I have found that on my HDD. That is what I am usually looking like when I am home alone
http://www.jray.de/me.jpg
[edit]
I love wearing black shirts, don't ask me why 
[/edit]
Resizing a real pic is a good idea...
[edit2]
Aye, and my name is Jacob...
[/edit2]
Home alone? What the hell do you look like when your parents are around? Scary thoughts.
My pic is in my profile too, the freakish head growing out of my neck is the cat, that was taken a year ago though, I've since ditched the goatee and had some hair issues (the hair has grown back though, except on my chin 
)
Is this a lame attempt to get the girls of a.cc to post even more pics of themselves?

No. But the idea isn't bad, indeed.
Crazy Photon: Did no one tell you that you have to hold the camera still when taking photos?
I'll post a picture of my workstation soon enough. I call it "Mount Bishop".
I don't like the idea of other people looking at pictures of me. It's creepy.

That's the latest picture of me, taken this summer.

That is what everyone thinks. The more people post their pictures the easier it will be to post yours.

I can imagine that would be real scary.

bmp = load_bitmap( filename, pal );
You may want to check if it failed.
Trezker, don't you feel hot in summer?
I don't know if I should, it might provoke peadofiles 
...and your city you live in...
Attached is a picture of how it looks like if I look out my window. The second part from the left stands out for some reason becasue I didn't bother to correct the colour balance...
Iowa kind of looks like that. Wait, no... no it doesn't.
Looks like quite a hobbit-land.
Trezker, don't you feel hot in summer?
I get very hot in the summer, but it has nothing to do with my hair.
The head is actually my coolest part...
The head is actually my coolest part...
I would be worried in your place. According to Discovery the head is supposed to be the hottest part. Maybe there's something wrong with you. Perhaps you're brain dead.
Bring out the mower and trim that beard
My real name is Fabio and as for a picture you can check my profile
Micah, i think this might interest you: http://www.allegro.cc/forums/view_thread.php?_id=388493

What happened to the hair?
Too bad I don't have access to some of my pictures right now. They are in the other PC and I can't use it until tomorrow.
Until then I'll give you a representation of myself of how I look when drawn by someone with no drawing skills in two minutes using KolourPaint (see attachment)
Me after not shaving for a while:

Brilliant product placement, SonShadowCat. Maybe that can be your new job..
Yeah...ignore that particular product
HoHo, i made a portrait of your portrait
(attachment)
HoHo is a Tiki god?
Whats with all of you and your balding hair o.o?
That drawing Looks more native american than hispanic.
That drawing Looks more native american than hispanic.
Why would it have to look hispanic? HoHo is Estonian.
It looks more like a drawing of SSC to me. 
I didn't know I was red.
http://www.orbitalmindsoft.com/stuff/Picture006.jpg
That's me today, it's been hot and windy so my hair is all screwed up (not that it isn't anyway). However I do not have balding spots anymore ... well excluding my chin
Wheres the black cat on your shoulder, you need the black cat!
He was a kitten before, now he's all grown up, and lazy. He's sleeping on the floor at the moment
HoHo, i made a portrait of your portrait
Actually I think your picture reminds me more than the one I drew myself
And no, I'm not a Tiki god(unfortunately). I'm a native Estonian.
Nice bike Kirr! Even if it is a Trek...
This is were I live. (Note these are professional photos a got off a website...)
None of them work nonnus.
The third one works for me. The other tow are either completely white or don't work.
EDIT: Now none of the works anymore.
Use photobucket nonnus
Speaking of cats..
http://old.heybryan.org/camera/IMG_4056_3.JPG
We call him `poot'.
He's currently cowering under the bed.
I'll call him adorable.
My cat would just beat him up... but he's evil like that
Actually, heh, poot is a playtoy for this guy ("nemo"). We have since given him another nick name, this time perhaps more suitable: rat face.
I take back my words — Steve Terry, your eyes are so pretty! Nothing scary there.
This thread is something of a shock. I guess I really have been thinking of people as their avatars.
What happened to the hair?
Casualty of the job. I miss my hair... sniff. At least my hairline isn't receding!

I'm the one on the right, Manjula is in the middle, and Yves is on the left. This picture was taken in downtown Toronto (the big pointy thing behind us is the CN Tower).
I don't get it ... women go absolutely crazy over my eyes... I just don't see it
Your eyes are lopsided.
Sometimes I think I'm the only one actually developing games:)
You can read my profile if you like... I've updated it with somewhat relevant content (imagine that).

Games 
This is me (to the right).

This is my home town Loviisa. A red circle marks my house. (Went out in the neighbourhood, painted the circle, logged into Google, took the picture, went out and washed the paint away. Phew!).
Attached is an image inside my nice red wooden house built 1930. My kid plays Game Boy in the kitchen.
Why do you have a pigeon on your shoulder?
He's Birdman.
"I shall call him.. Pohan!"
Whoa; Steve shaved.
Me:(the picture is about two weeks old)

(I was totally depressed on that day, that's why the smile looks so unnaturally forced.>:()8-)
A pigeon!? That lousy salesman said it was a parrot!
Hey, you were lucky, it could have been a dead parrot

Hey, I've seen that once, what's it called?
Mr. Praline: 'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e

I don't look like that now.
Okay, I put the pics in an html page; it seems to go over my bandwidth limit at geocities pretty quickly though...
Dammit! Nonnus get some damn webspace NOW!!! Geocities sucks.
Photobucket, perhaps?
bafserv is nice.
manjula is teh h07n355 
She looks tired as hell! And her purple hair distracts from her face. Get your hair cut you hippy!
It's pink you insensitive clod!
Manjula: Heh... rough morning, eh?
Did no one tell you that you have to hold the camera still when taking photos?
Heh, those photos from Uruguay were not taken by me but by a friend of mine (I am the one with the Intel Inside T-Shirt)
I was making a pseudo-goth pose you insensitive clods.
I'm not scary looking. There's a tiny picture of me in my profile, and some more on myspace if anybody here uses that, which nobody here seems to. If you do, however, add me as a friend (since we're all so friendly here).
heh
manjula is teh h07n355
How convenient, you don't live too far away from Toronto... Plus Manjula goes to Kitchener quite often!
you can see a picture of my self in my profile. Its the most recent as I keep breaking cameras when they are pointed at me. That and mirrors.
SteveT: love the kitties I post my but like I said I broke my cameras.

I am the second from the right. Have had a sunburn that day, hence the red face.
edit: and maybe a bit drunk already...;)
Finally I got a picture of myself
I'm to the right. To left is my little brother. The picture was taken about a month ago when me, my brother and some of my friends took a trip around Estonia and Latvia.
I'm amazed that you guys look like half of my friends. Or at least did, when they were younger.
Unfortunately (like anyone cares), I don't have a picture of myself.
If I close my eyes I can see you as a WoW Gnome Chris!
That's so accurate I want to slap you.
