First I'd like to apologize ... a couple of b'days were submitted but I was
not notified by the website like I should have been ... they have been
approved now tho. Sorry I'm late! I rely on the notifications as I don't
check the site daily LOL.

Secondly, I want to clarify that adding your b'day info is NOT related to
the "birthday builders or builds" in alphaworld. It is simply a webpage that
you can visit to see who's b'days are coming up and of course only those
that have submitted their b'days will show on it. Submitting your b'day info
does not mean you'd get an aw b'day build however, because my site and that
event are not related.

It would be great if aw had a birthday world perhaps, or at the very least a
committee to take care of birthday events so that citizens of aw could
participate in something that is more bonded perhaps? Just a thought LOL.
There is no currently *organized* birthday committee to my knowledge. The
*work load* for setting up builds is by volunteering and you sorta hear of
it by word of mouth ... both for setting up and for building for others.
Anyway, appreciation goes out once again to all those who give of their time
to do these builds!

I did want to put the webpage out once again and invite you to add your
b'day ... and for those that maybe do look at the page now and then, even if
you don't build for others a "Happy Birthday" gram would be nice!

http://63.249.155.229/Aeon/AWbirthdays.html
Click the Add Event link at the bottom of the box that lists b'days.

I hear ya Vera! You've done a fantastic job and you are appreciated by those
who know your heart. You are my all-time fav b'day builder ... your style of
building just blows me away! As for your being done, I'm sure you mean
setups ... not building for? Either way, I'll be done with setting up also
.... come the end of my two months of May/June. The work load can really wear
one down, and I've got relatively easy months compared to you guys! I'm
hoping some brave soul with take on the responsibility for July, Aug, etc.
But if not, se la vie. If you leave us entirely, you will be sorely missed!
I know I'm fast approaching a break myself and I'm getting *burn out* LOL.
I'll still be around to do some building mind ya but my world is in neglect
and needs my TLC. And I hope to join the ranks of modelers and am in the
process of learning to create my own objects ... what fun that is!

I now see why a good many b'day builders come, and go, within a year or so
.... especially those that have done setups and built as well. I know I
volunteered to do May/June setups to give you *core folks* a well needed
break ... without tunablues, dreamer2 and you doing setups we might not have
had any b'days these past few months ... or so I've observed since about
last fall. Ms. Sassy took a couple of months, and now me. And those are just
the setup folks of late, many more have done so previous to my knowledge!
But man o man do we learn alot in that time so I'm not regretting a moment
of it!

The biggest negative experience I had was a *reaming out* for "ruining
someone's birthday" because I informed the recipient they were "being taken
care" of when in grams the birthday gal was telling me she had no friends in
aw. She had submitted her b'day info to me for inclusion in my aw area and
we were gramming back and forth so I could get more info such as fav colors,
etc. The person that requested the build (for which I did not know of her
involvement til I got reamed LOL) was upset that I'd told the recipient that
"we'd taken care of her". I didn't tell the b'day gal where the build was or
anything like that ... only that she "has friends now". I almost left b'day
building over that incident as it was purely a miscommunication. I was in no
way being malicious in "spoiling the birthday surprise". And too, I was new
to it all back then and made mistakes of course ... I was way too over
exuberant LOL.

One the upside tho ... I've learned how to do bot copies of my builds (even
did a tutorial on my site for others), I don't think I'd of learned that
without you guys. I've learned much more than that about using my xelagot
bots for that matter. I've learned to create the most stunning effects on
the simpliest & otherwise *most mundane* of objects, I would not have
learned that without you guys ... I would only have been able to admire from
afar. I've learned far more about what one can do with move and rotate
actions ... and how to build MORE right under the *Building Inspector's*
nose without him bishin LOL. You have NO IDEA how I for one appreciate you
folks and I truly, truly thank you for giving me the knowledge I would not
otherwise have. So hun, when you think of those hardships you may have
endured, please temper that with the knowledge that you've helped others to
learn beyond what you, or they, may have otherwise done. In spite of all the
testosterone / estrogen floating around there in cyberspace we all need to
remember that there is a REAL person behind that keyboard. We need to
appreciate the fact that some go the *extra mile* ... and I personally have
to thank you! It's these folks that are the true spirit and core of
community life.

I'm very sure I don't know the whos/whys/whens b'day builds started, perhaps
someone would like to comment on that ... and please know that I've only
mentioned people I've become close to over the past year or so ... there are
many, many more that deserve credit for which I do not have the *full
story*, I hope they know they too are appreciated even though I personally
don't mention their names. I'm admittedly relatively new to the gang. There
are some old time cits out there that could enlighten us I'm sure! BTW, I
don't consider myself *in charge*, there is no *head of b'day
builders/builds* ... just one or two people that take on the humungous job
of setting up the builds and contacting others (120 grams!) to build
therein, and then making sure the birthday recipient sees the site in a
timely manor. My months are May/June and those are the extent of my *in
chargeness* LOL ... If anyone out there supposes there is anyone *in charge*
.... wrong! We are not at all organized but somehow we manage to pass the
torch and help each other.

For me, I'd like to thank the following (not limited to of course) for their
inspiration, patience, time and help:

Birthdays & building inspiration: tunablues, Vera, dreamer2, Sylsea (the
reason I'm in aw), Ms. Sassy, OneSummer, PeteHetherington, Energiser, and
too many others to name.

Bot help & free objects when my world & I were new: Bastillion, Lady
Barbara, Restless Mind, & of course Xelag.

My modeling mentors: Starheart, Titania o, ORB, Imagine (to date, hopefully
I'll have more mentors to torment ... muahhahahaha)

My fav AVs & Seqs: Aylla, Shankahtus, Insanity

Holy cow! This turned out a lot more *winded* than I intended LOL. Luv &
Hugzzz to all...

Excuse me ... why is the vote page not secure??? Why would I want to log in
there with my username & pw without it being a secure page???

Some thoughts on what you can vote for at this point, all great improvements
and I vote for em all LOL ... but seriously

Add scale command: Neat idea and great for the masses, but you could scale
in the .rwx via notepad ... although that is more difficult for the *average
user* I admit.

Custom Avatars: Love this but can see the potential problem with an x-rated
av showing up in my g-rated world ... bad karma!

Save outgoing grams: Isn't there a free progy that does this already? Not
that it shouldn't have been a feature of aw to start with LOL.

Increase the maximum cell data limit: Isn't the problem, as mentioned in
another post, the # of polys/verts ... not so much the cell space? Anyway, I
get the BI breathing down my neck so ya, cell data unlimited would be more
to my preference ... yes I know, that would be lag city!

Add a fullscreen mode: Most folks still have 800 x 600 resolution for their
monitors, not sure how full screen mode would help unless you could put Tab
Controls in the Toolbar area and have each it's own drop down menu? That
would elimate that window entirely and then people could maximize (resize)
their main browser window to their monitor's capacity.

Access multiple universes from a single browser: Again, isn't there a progy
that does this? Or, is that one uni only and multiple worlds within that uni
alone?

Fix the world rights lists: This sounds good, only problem I can see would
be that building worlds may not be able to readily identify what cit can do
what. And then, how would you implement that for those worlds that allow
tourists to build?

User-Selectable Chat Font: This could be lumped in with my idea of a drop
down menu in the Toolbar?

Browser skins: This could be lumped in with my idea of a drop down menu in
the Toolbar?

Instead of putting in my pw on the site, I'll just vote here LOL ... here
they are in order of importance to me:

Custom Avatars
Add a scale command
Increase the maximum cell data limit
Fix the world rights lists
Save outgoing telegrams
Access multiple universes from a single browser
User-Selectable Chat Font
Browser skins
Add a fullscreen mode

And here's one or two you don't have, which to me outweighs all the rest:

prefs! For me, float = 110m all the way around me, that's 220m! When I crash
in a world, and hafta reload it the amount float forces on me is too much
.... I'd prefer to set that myself and not have float the default!!! For
instance, my connection is relatively fast, but where my op is is not ...
d/l 500 objects or more when entering my world for the first time, or after
a browser crash, is painful for even the fastest connection ... that is
because of float. Allow ME to specify what the default is please!
can't use it?

Unfortunately archive did not get all graphics! One HenrikG's pages we need:

Also a couple graphics won't load for me on Grover's site, nor can I seem to
save either RWX tutorial page. The missing graphics are:

Image1.gif (from Part 1 pg)
rwxmod2.gif (on the Transforms pg)

I can't d/l either of those pages ... IE just freezes up!?

PS ... thanks for hunting those down Barb!

Apr 4, 2004, 12:38am

A good way to save a page, if not as seen in HTML, is to go to View, Source
.... save that as GroverRWXpg1.html, then do likewise to the next page ...
you won't get the images to your hard drive but you'll get the *meat* as
Barb calls it LOL. You can then go back and save as for the images
individually. I'll bet folks have these right off the original sites tho,
and can provide the broken images!? Thanks again Barb, at least we have them
again! Hugzzz

Hmmm my suggestion may not work cause for it you are selecting from the drop
down menu immediately above it. The one form I do use has radio button
selection tho ... you'd click the appropriate radio button but then you
could only pick one ... perhaps a checkbox where you could select multiple
might serve better. Need to know more on what the page looks like and it's
function...

Here's a simple drop down menu for which you could include everthing within
the form and *multi-select* by clicking the first item, then hold down shift
to select others ...

<p>Drop-Down Menu (Multiple Selection) <br>
<form action="post.asp" method="post">
<select size="3" name="Dropdown Menu" multiple>
<option selected value="" >Select A State</option>
<option value="New York">New York</option>
<option value="California">California</option>
<option value="Florida">Florida</option>
<option value="Rhode Island">Rhode Island</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

I haven't tested it cause I dunno what yer lookin for. DynamicDrive.com is
my fav place for scripts ... here's a search there for "drop down"
http://search.freefind.com/find.html?id=6299074&pageid=r&mode=ALL&n=0&query=drop+down
aside from that you could search google or other search engines. Be mindful
when you do choose a script to make sure it's both IE and NS friendly as
those are the two most used browsers!

I don't see the diff, before they were in the left in browser ... now they

fits in the same place it did before, just not in browser but beside it.
Mine's always open tho. Perhaps your complaints are that you don't want em
always open therefore with them closed you get a larger view window?

Just for clarification, this happen to me also ... title bar = the blue bar

window should expand. I think *minimize* would be less confusing/shocking
LOL.

Apr 10, 2004, 11:14pm

Because people are use to minimize / maximize, if they are going to make
roll up the standard they should make it an obvious change. I didn't know
about that feature til I happened on it by accident and I'm sure many others
don't either. You'll see this same kind of post again and again because of
it. And if MS has changed why hasn't my email/ng programs, nor most of my
other programs that work in MS? It has Min/Max feature for that window ...
if you're going to change then be consistent! Roll up is not a standard
windows feature, not yet anyway.

As to *blonde* perhaps Alex is thinking of me, I like to claim *blonde

silly or don't know things that others think I should. It's a good excuse,
nice to be able to blame something LOL.

I could say I'm scatter brained, or haven't got a clue but heck ... most
people know what those mean. Now *blonde* ... some actually hafta ask me
what that means LOL. And it really means nothing cause not all blondes are
dumb, hair color doesn't determine your intelligence ... hasn't got anything
to do with it ... but some folks take that comment and run with it so
whatever makes em happy!
