Same as the above, in addition to the fact that I have no paint programs here and cannot access email or ftp from this machine. :p I was hoping to get my computer back before the weekend but it looks like it will be dragged into this week.

if you actually read that three page thread that's been 'stickied' for the last month you'd know what we decided upon:

September 19th (!?) is his birthday, we want him to receive them by then.

September 5th = deadline
September 6th = all cards will be collected and slide show will be made
September 7th = cards burned on a CD
September 8th = CD mailed to Sydney, Australia - to ICESPEED

September 12-18 = CD should arrive
September 19th = Setekh receives CD complete with autorun, build in Flash Projector, etc.  All he does is click an 'exe' file.  Additionally, all cards will be individually archived in a folder on the CD



See, it's easy for you to say "well i don't like the 'dealine' idea" but it seems necessary, otherwise everyone says "i'll send it later" and they keep repeating that, and in the end they never do it

Post by: Knight Templar on September 02, 2002, 03:33:24 pm
so c'mon guys, it's kinda embarrasing to do all this , have him open the cd up and ! By golly 16 people (i bet at least 1 or 2 he hasn't even ever "met" , me included, will have sent one) so if not as many as possible, all you "old timers" and friends should try, a funny picture with some nice words could work nicely.

For lack of a better concept, I used a screen composition by Setekh itself for the base.

you don't need a 700 dollar paint program or 3 hours. just make something in paint.

it took me 3 minutes to make this on paint:

I agree with this. I don't have Paint and can't make a card worth crap anyway, BUT I would like my name included on the card sent to Setekh.

Stealth, if you have the cards and you're sending them out, could you just make another card just having all our signatures on it? It doesn't have to be fancy, just so long as those of us here give our permission to let you sign the card in our names.

Would a new thread for this idea (to make sure everyone on HLP sees it) be warranted?

That said, Stealth, you have my permission to sign my name onto any card being sent to Setekh. :)

cards in the mail.  Real simple guys, make a card.  I just used our promotional pic for Police Action, made by Odyssey, and added some words.  Go, its the thought, not the actual card that matters.

You're retired, you shouldn't have "pressing matters"... you're also out of school, what 'pressing matters' could there be :p (don't even say college) i mean, i probably do everything you do, and i had time to not only make a card, but to organize the whole thing.

It's not complicated, just print your name on a card and say you miss him!  you can do it in paint, which like 99.9% of windows computers come with!  Also, see my reply in my next post...

Stealth, you may not realize it but I get about 2 hours of sleep a night from school and homework, for me school started 3 weeks ago and the teachers here are freakin evil, they all leave massive amounts of homework and they all have tests on the same days.  I did get a card in, although I still wanna refine it; i'll send a final later but if i miss the deadline, go with the one in the other thread.
