Week of Nov 8

HAPPY MONDAY!

I didn't want to start new threads just to ask everyone what was going on in their life this week.

MAINLY....I was thinking about Star and if she is now officially a Grandmother. It MAY be in a post somewhere....but I haven't got there yet.

I didn't post yesterday because I had a hangover and a cold. Not a great combination. We still had a good day though.

Today, I have my 'home detention' inspection. I'm sure they are only checking to make sure we have a home with electric and a phone....but I'm a SPAZ and cleaned my salad crisper and my laundry room.

Well, if you want to share what is going on in your life today which isn't an individual thread topic...post it here.

If you don't have anything to share.....say 'HI' anyway....so we know you are out there!

I've been pondering what to do with kidzone and actually start the work on it today. I'll be working on the header graphics and adding content slowly from now till Chirstmas. I hope to have the site somewhat functional by Christmas and have kids submitting links to their favorite sites by early in the New Year.

I have to submit another site I work at to all of the directories that this site is in and remain marketing of Lifesupporters.

Newsletter is on the backburner but I must have turned that one off because it's no longer simmering.

In other words, I'm busy.

Sn00py is so into learning how to made decent web pages, he said you sent him some info on how to, so....if you want to....you could run some ideas through him.

Since you have less time than I do....you want me to goof around with a Newsletter idea? I really think it would be a good idea to let people know who were around early on how much the site is growing, what we are doing and pick back up interest. Then, you could write a little personal paragraph at the end. It's up to you though.

I still can't wait to hear from Star as to how the baby and her daughter are doing!!!!

I have no problem with you wanting to write the content to the newsletter. Please be my guest, I really don't have the extra time for it right now.

We'll edit the thing together, I'll add images and links to articles and then we can make a small test group to send it to.

Merika · 11-08-2004, 10:07 PM

Okie Dokie.....because I can't do all the fancy stuff...and GAWD knows my grammer sux! If you don't want to do it at all....we wont. We could try it once though.

I do want to make the newsletter but I'm working on a 480 x 60 flash banner for site advertising at the moment. There's a webmaster site that I'm pretty active in that is giving me some free exposure at the top of two of their sites. I wanted to have the banner finished this weekend but it's taking way longer than I thought.

I think the newsletter is a great idea but I have to try and complete this banner first. I'll upload what I have so far and let you guys give me your opinion tomorrow or the next day.

Merika · 11-08-2004, 10:31 PM

You are showing as online now.

COOL about the banner! I can't wait to see it. I think it would be real interesting to learn stuff like that....not for me because I wouldn't use it....but it's good for those of you who like building sites.

Duke · 11-08-2004, 10:33 PM

The banner is actually working out pretty great atm. The problem is going to be in compressing it in interest of a smaller filesize and retaining the image clarity.

I'm not exactly a flash guru, or an anything guru. Everything I know to date was self taught.

Did you ever check out my IL 2 Forgotten Battles Teaser Trailer? I also am in the midst of making a Teaser for Doom 3.

Merika · 11-08-2004, 11:06 PM

I looked in Web Links and didn't see it. Where is the link? I'll check it out.

AYLA....I like your pretty picture! Thanks for posting it. :happyflower:

TUESDAY Nov 9

I've apparently embraced Isis' $)$^&$ cold and feel like CRAP! To make it worse....I have to go to court with Sn00py tomorrow for his 'arraignment'....whatever that means.

I hope Star has time later to report in and let us know how everything is going in the hospital.

Stoneheather....are you having any morning sickness?

I guess zman is off in Hawaii getting married.

How is everyone else's day going?

It's not in Web Links, it's in Downloads. It's named IL 2 Teaser Large I believe. Small is the rezzed down version and isn't as clear.

Merika · 11-09-2004, 09:36 AM

THAT was very cool Duke!

I'll make sure and pass it on to Sn00py...who I think has lost all interest in PS2 console games (lol!) and will probably be concentrating more on online games.

Duke · 11-09-2004, 10:19 AM

Thanks Merika,

I actually think it turned out pretty well for my first movie.
