Pete's Pond Cam chat - Wednesday 23 January 2008

Thanks for trying to help me Maxx.  I am using the windows side and not the MAC side because it is hard to get the cams up.  Really WE cam.  They come up with no controls on them so that you could start/stop.

We got caught in the thread switch-over....but as I posted in the last thread....I can't really help with MACs. Even running in some sort of windows emulation mode...I would be lost.

Maxx....you're a saint for even TRYING to help us puter-challenged people! LOL  Thanks for all your insight!

Yeh Maxx what Pam said.  I am more than computer challenged.  I have learned a lot though in the last 10 years. 

OK rebooting did not help for PP.  It will still not play for me.  That started yesterday afternoon.  I will have to think of something.  Did you all know the blond husband in "Broke Back Mountained" died.  They are saying it may be an over dose.  Poor wife and child.

You're welcome...

Hey...I first started puting less than ten years ago. I can remember my "noobiness" very well. I used my first machine for a week before I realized that the left mouse button wasn't just a spare for the other button....LOL

But...I made a point not to be afraid to try things and learn. To this day...if I sit my mom in front of a computer, her hand shakes. She thinks she will cause some sort of harm with the "infernal machine".

OMG I clicked on find more infor because of invalid socket error and it plays.  Lots of bugs. 

I'm just testing to see if I did my avatar thing right..so don't laugh if I screwed it all up..lol

Yeah, Lea.....Heath Ledger.  Never saw that movie but saw it on the news.  So sad what money can do to ya......

Maxx....your mom sounds like ME a few years back.  I'm not so afraid these days but I do NOT understand what makes a puter tick.  I can MAKE it work...most of the time....just don't care why or how it does it! LOL

Well...where is it?  Does it take a little while to show up?

Cute story Maxx.  I know this sounds rediculious, but I have crashed many computers at work.  Also vending machines will not work for me, Sterling silver and 14k gold make my ears bleed, and I kill flowerfs when I wear them on my body.  I am a killing machine LOL

I don't see your avi yet SA but sometimes it takes a bit before it shows up. I changed mine yesterday and it took quite a while to switch over.

Lea, glad PP is playing for you...whatever you did. LOL

And Maxx, definitely agree with everyone else....you are a super guy for helping everyone out with their computer/software issues.

 Thanks for the pics Pam of the ellie.

YAHHHHH LEA for getting the cam!!!  And LOL about being a killing machine!

SA....it usually takes a bit for an avi change to show up.  Just make sure you hit "Submit" at the bottom of the change so it accepts your changes for sure.

Thanks Calista me too.  I missed the ellie and the cape buff at NK.  It has been some slow nights.

Was that an owl that just flew in?  Sitting toward the left edge of our view.

I hit submit about 3 times because it looked like it wasn't "submitting"  I probably messed it up..there's no telling what's going to show up..Now I'm nervous about it..lol

I missed the buff at NK and just caught the end of the ellie at PP.

I am straining my eyes at whatever landed across the pond but no idea what it is Pam. A bird of some sort is all I can tell.

No worries, SA....you'll get it!  Can't wait to see "who" you're gonna be!

Gonna head back to my bookwork for a little bit.  The more I get done now, the more cam time I have later tonight.....when the sun comes up.  I'll be watching out the corner of my eye.  Catch you later!

This board uses Drupal....which has a really bizarre caching system that not even god has ever seen before. All avatar changes seem to take awhile to work their way through.

It's ok SA, is it within the size that is allowed for an avi? I know the first time I tried to put an avi in the picture I chose was too large and it wouldn't take.

Thanks

Catch you later on Pam.

You hit it right on the head LM  lol..it's a scops owl..my favorite sounding bird..

SA ~~~ Did you change "Tiny MCErich text" to false then put in your picture.  Then hit submit.  When avatar appears you can go back in and change to true.  You will find this right above your picture.

I remember when I first got a computer this message came up saying I did something illegal..I can't remember the exact wording, anyway, it scared me so bad I unplugged my comp. and sat there waiting for the FBI or CIA to come banging at my door...lol..I am SO comp. illiterate its pitiful..lol

HUH??!!

LOL...I got worried too on my first illegal message.....

I think most people did....and really think MS should reconsider the wording on that error....

Your avatar should have shown by now. You may need to try again....

OK go to your account and click on edit.  Right above where the avatar goes you will see:  Tiny MCE rich text.

You click on that to change it from true to false.  Do you see it?

Lea....I have never done that when changing my avi....

Sorry for butting in....back to books....
