Hello koop, and Happy Birthday to you.
willistuder
I agree with starkers--a second holiday is in order.
I hope you enjoy your birthday and get a couple of weeks to rest from your mighty adventure.
Good post, Fuzzy. (I hope you're feeling better). Support has been good to me in the past. Welcome to all the new crew.
[quote who="teddybearcholla" reply="8" id="2379902"] Curious as to what became of the one you had... [/quote] I let him go. The first time he flew back in the house, the second time I got him to fly away. That was a long time ago, but I still miss him. They are the most colourful hawks, and the photos don't do justice.
[quote who="Island Dog" reply="15" id="2378154"] Saarge released his second IP and its a good one and worth mentioning It's definitely worth mentioning, and it's scheduled to be a featured skin on the front page. [/quote] These are all good picks. It's good to hear that the Plywood IP is getting a feature.
Look what I used to have as a pet for about 5 months. I was working on a house, and there was a nest of sparrow hawks (kestrel). They all flew away, except for one that couldn't. I kept it until fall. It was friendly, and used to fly over and sleep on my chest just under my shoulder. (Birds seem to like it there). <img
It's good to hear that it's doing well.
Good for you, Jim, and thanks for being just about the only one doing DX weather widgets.
You must be one of the first to make a pilgrimage to Stardock, at least from so far away. I bet it was exciting for them, too.
[quote who="k10w3" reply="22" id="2377021"] Quoting willistuder, reply 21 You caught me...I was going to be lazy; animation is a real challenge for me, and that group of gears was particularly difficult so I was going to keep them static, but that wouldn't be true to the skin, now would it? So...I fixed it. They are now spinning. [/quote] You
The gears on the left and right top are animated, and the gauge on the lower right side is as well. The gears in the middle (on the top) aren't. (I'm using XP). The windows are great. The only problem I have is the scroll bar. It's hard to tell where it is because it blends too well. Thanks for the links.
It must have been great to finally meet the Stardock crowd after all these years.
It looks great, Karen. Would you mind putting up a link to the Deviantart page?
The best of luck to you Fuzzy. Same to all you other guys with bad backs; it sounds pretty hideous.

[/quote] I should have warned you about that. We are pure in Ontario. You can't just go anywhere and buy beer or liqour; you have to go to a government distributor. If you go to a licensed es
A great job by all of you. Great icons, skinhit.
[quote who="Jafo" reply="122" id="2370285"]...tried to catch a photo of a squirrel [we don't have them]... [/quote] Maybe you'll get lucky and see a raccoon. They rip garbage apart. What part of Toronto are you staying in? I lived there for 16 years, and still live close by.
Did you go through the Rockies in the daytime?
Congratulations, all of you, and great work, Travis; it's good to see you back.
I'd recommend a dog.
It's pretty good, it's tasteful. I think, though, that the blue buttons would be better in gray like the other ones, and the Start menu could be rounded off like the window.
[quote who="Jafo" reply="96" id="2364513"] Gotta be one of the better parts of this world [Canada].... people seem terribly friendly....but it's ruined by too many bloody Aussies.... [/quote] Seeing as how you're in Quebec, you might want to try Brador beer. The city of Quebec is pretty unique. I wouldn't be surprised if you like it.
If you're lucky, by the time you get to Ontario, the leaves might have changed colour. The landscape is rocky and rugged, and very beautiful. I hope that you're enjoying the trip.
[quote who="IAmPas" reply="130" id="2362129"]i love how willistuder is preaching to us on how we should believe things should be done in america when he's in canada and has universal health care. maybe he should start a thread on how he's either happy or unhappy with the canadian government. it seems watching beck on a constant basis has made him, along with many americans, stupid. my ex sister-in-law, who i still adore, watches beck and hannity da
