Thanks LGM.. Brixton has changed alot since the 70s and 80s. We haven't had a riot here for over 10 years (not a big one anyway). Glad you like the animated gifs..I make them in Fireworks and just bumble along trying to figure out how to do them.


"Bumbling along" is the way to learn, Es... even after nearly two years studying, I still do the same, and teachers tell me they do as well, when learning something new.
The difference between amateur and professional IT types is the speed they bumble at! ;)

I am a medium-speed bumbler! lol

That is so scary! I spent an hour looking for Fractal apps with the same thought in mind. Fractals are really Calm Chaos! Things that make you go Hmmm...


LOL yes, this is for the x-files. :-D



Hello Fuzzy! How was your day?

That certainly sucks TL.

Hey Mulder. I found a bunch of Fractal images on the net earlier. I have them posted in my Photobucket account

Photobucket

Check it out...see if there are any that you think we should use.

You too TL.



I love this!

I BLAME THE SOCK EATING MONSTER!!!:

"Cruncher 2's" Hard Drive JUST DIED!!! I had to scavange what parts I could from it to bandaid patch, (yet again), "Cruncher 1"...

(YES, I already posted in the Crap Thread...) 8-(

I will now be losing 1 Active WU from "Cruncher 2" and a stored/In Queue WU...


8-(

CRAP!!!



I am so sorry to hear that my friend. I will hold a moment of silence in Cruncher's behalf in the forest this weekend. That is if Ernesto doesn't blow me away. (I hear you gigling) Until then I offer you this tribute.

If we are sticking with the Cycling Motif, they all work with the exception of "OWN3D"... I love the new images on pages 1 & 2, those are ALL new, right?

Also, if we are Cycling, (not that I mind; however, your girlfriend might), maybe pulling your g/f's pics out, (for privacy), otherwise they are all good...

Now we just need a " Team statement "


====================

"The Universe we live in is not perfectly orderly... Why should we force perfect order within it? Obtain peace. Obtain tranquility. Obtain:

Calm Chaos!"


====================

Yes, No, Maybe???


I think you maybe should have some fractals. I think of fractals when I hear the name Cool Chaos. And fractals are definitely cool chaos.

Wow. There are thousands upon thousands of fractal images available on the net.

I have about fifty of them saved, some would work as backgrounds, some probably wouldn't.

I will upload them to my Photobucket account so people can check them out. :-)

Thanks for checking on that Scott.

At least we know why it isn't available now. Hopefully that will be remedied soon.


Yes, thanks Scott. :-)






Glad to do what I can to help a little.

Hmmmmmmmmmm.............
I sometimes take the liberty of checking out people's profiles... gives me a bit of an insight into the characters on the boards...
So, for the first time, I had a look at Es' profile... Brixton has changed a bit since I was last there, from the look of it. It's almost civilised!! lol (I was last there pre-riots, in the 70's)
BTW, Es... nice animated GIFs! And no, I don't want a nude photo! lol

Thanks LGM.. Brixton has changed alot since the 70s and 80s. We haven't had a riot here for over 10 years (not a big one anyway). Glad you like the animated gifs..I make them in Fireworks and just bumble along trying to figure out how to do them.

No worries Fuzzy. I just had to rib you a bit. :-)

I think the fractals would be a great idea for an opening page background if we could find one with the right color scheme.

I will do a search for some images and see what there is to see.

I really appreciate the input. I need all the help I can get. lol

It's very easy to find fractals on the internet..just plug 'mandelbrot' into google images or 'Julia set'. Some of them are really lovely.

One minor correction Fuzzy....it's CALM Chaos.....but you were close.

The idea still fits though.,...lol


Sorry Knightmare, it was a slip of the tongue. :-(

But fractals are also calm chaos.

Of course you can generate them yourself, and I even think there are programs to get for that out there (I actually had an old dos-program to do it, but they were not very good), but there are sites with pics of them, which are very cool. So a link to some of those, perhaps?

Or if you want some of them as backgrounds, e.g. for your forum, I think Fox knows how to put them there. Or maybe he knows some real cool fractal sites?

A follow up email just arrived.

It is not just RIAA and its not RIAA policy. RIAA only controls licenses for music within the US and can only grant license within the US.

Radio stations - including News/Talk/Sports stations use content in their programming that is only licensed in their market, let alone nationwide or worldwide. This issue is starting to come to a head. It started in the UK in March.

I sent this email to KFI's parent website.

I have read all pertinent information reguarding international export of stream but a listener in Denmark would like to recieve the KFI stream that he may better be included in post programming debate on a local (US) Bulletin Board. Do you have specific information why the stream is not available in Denmark? Or is reciept of stream a technical issue which he must resolve? Thank you.

Scott


And this reply was waiting in my email this morning.

Scott,

Due to the RIAA, we cannot stream music content overseas. We ended up blocking all Clear Channel radio streams to overseas, even news/talks. Unfortunately at this point, the listener is out of luck, but I will look into if there were any talks on allowing News/Talk stations to stream overseas.

Looks like he will do some additional checking into it.

Edit, Sorry about the "he" part I wasn't paying attention to who was having difficulty as I wrote the email.
