Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

I used Paintshop Pro XI to grab the hands/nose areas, rotate 10 degrees, then save. Then did it again. If I wanted it cleaner, I would have individually set background pixel colors, but as a quick test, it looked decent enough. Saved the 3 frames as GIFs, then dropped them into UnFREEz in order, set the time for each frame for a set time, then saved it. Then had to do that several times, removing frames over and over again until the final filesize was within the tiny restrictions of SD :-/

PSP is a pay program, but I've been using it since v7 probably 8-10 years ago, I wait for FAR deals on it. But there are LOTS of graphics programs out there that can do it - GIMP will probably work fine, and is freeware. UnFREEz is freeware.

If SD weren't so ridiculous on filesize, I could have made it really smooth with several more frames with less rotation between them. But as such a small display size, it's good enough.
Thanks for all the info. Thought you might have used Paintshop Pro. Since I am an amateur, haven't justified spending the big bucks on the software....though my artist daughters would LOVE to have it....maybe for Christmas this year.
They use it in school, and have a graphics art class coming up next year, so they will use it even more. Appreciate the tutorial, and your willingness to share.

Its just the sign up for the contest. In OWTW we had to sign up and the contest started 2 weeks later. Better than Camel. I saw a lot of people on camel.com say they had just got the email that camel was going to have a new contest and when they signed in to check it out the contest was already over!!!

Oooops -- I got a free gif re-sizer off the internet. Just plug in the pixels you want and thwack, it's all done. But then, too, I'm easy.

Well, IMO, if those people think we are "ruining" the thread, they can leave & start their own like some did with OWTW.
I think we've become a pretty tight group, and we can get down to business as well as anybody. And, we will always have the FF to goof off.

well we've been here long enough so I say we barge in and take over our strength in numbers will prevail

call to arms (keyboards) bounce
Funny Farm to invade the Snus thread for the duration

Hello All,

Trying out a new avitar. What do you all think, Is it to racey? I don't think so. I wish there was some way I could make the dress move. I came across this album the other night from the late 70's. What memories.

Yes, but I thought they'd give us the information tonight. All we've had are guesstimates so far as to how it will be run, the number of prizes, etc. I was even hoping that they'd tell us that all prizes would be shipped by 12/20/10. Just for old times sake. Wink

Yeah, I've got a free .gif re-sizer too. But, that doesn't create animations like Paintshop Pro or other pay-for programs will. I want to be able to create animations from non-animated pics (without having to give up a month's groceries to pay for it!) nod

I was just watching internet news and California is marketing marijuana soda pop. They take flavored cigarettes off the market, ban alcoholic energy drinks, trying to ban alcoholic whipped cream so what do they do??? Pot soda pop!!!EEK!EEK!
http://theweek.com/article/index/...juana-soda

Yesterday it was all over the La news
flavors like canna cola
orange kush

This is LaLa Land
this guy is late to the party, don't know why he got so much publicity because there has been marijuana soda here for a few years already along with, brownies, chocolate bars in many flavors,
granola bars, and for all the big kiddies, marijuana rice krispie treats with sprinkles and marshmallows.

Talk to the resident expert, talonts....if you ask him real nice, he may get that dress of yours to move.
