I've never been myself, but they're supposed to be a riot.

I would think the dealers would be far better than retail stores- and prices should vary from below to a bit above RRP, depending on what you're looking at, where the dealer's come from, what store they represent.

But I expect there should be a couple of convention discounts.

I would go this year, but I'm piss poor atm, and will be in france from second week of July till god knows when.

My maths exams went okay I think. I couldn't answer the 6th question (out of 9) about sequence limits and deriviation of formulae, but that's not really my fault. The question was unlike anything the text book- or even my teachers- had ever covered.

But one question out of nine; as long as I did okay on the others, I can still get a B (which is what I dreamt of getting

)

No new tf sightings here either

As usual

Ta mate. Pleasure of course. I'm too lazy to work

About 30 pages back, there was quite a cerfuffle over who was going to AA. Apparently quite a few, and they were all taking their ODB badges and printing them out.

I was proud :SMUG:

Thu May 15, 2008 8:13 am

brilliant

ill check it out, how do i get a ODB badge?

You ask me what style you'd like (traditional or one like I use now), what colours you'd like (standard GBR flag, or other), what picture you'd like in the middle too.

If you have one like I use now, I can throw your name on. My only wish is that I could do that curvy text whoever makes the mod's badges can do.

Thu May 15, 2008 8:27 am

cheeres! ill have a think about it now and get back to you :grin:

Shoot me a PM when your ready, with your pic. Pic must be no bigger than your current avvy if possible; they resize better that way.

Of course, the things I've mentioned are basics. I can make your badge look like anything you want.

Heck, if I had photoshop or Paint shop Pro, my badge would be animated!

Thu May 15, 2008 10:03 am

Maximum dimensions are 100x100, and the maximum filesize is 9.7kb. Even though it says 10kb don't listen to it, it's lying to you.

News Credits: 6 · Thu May 15, 2008 10:16 am

What file type did you save it as?
Same as mine?

Put it up and I'll try fixing it for ya (I'm bored

)

So today was a rainy day. Ish.
Tomorrow brings more sun!

I had a free day once my exam had finished, so I spent about 2 or 3 hours of it with Belle; my new interest.

How interesting? We shall see :wink:

Thu May 15, 2008 10:33 am

its 81x100 and 23.8 kb i know it has to be less than 9
i did it in paint and it says its a bitmap image

let me see if this works [img]C:\Users\family\Pictures\ODB%20CHRONIC.bmp[/img]

nope i dont even know how to put an image in here or attach it?

News Credits: 2 · Thu May 15, 2008 10:38 am

It seems like image attachments have been disabled in this forum, but you can still send the file through a PM, through an instant messenger, or upload it to a free image host.

Bitmaps are big files.

Try converting it to a png in paint.

Save it under a different name, just in case there is some colour loss. There shouldn't be, but it's real annoying when you convert a file only for it to **** up; and you have to start all over again.

Paint supports PNG now? There was a time it used to panic about GIFs.

But then I haven't used Paint since Windows 3.1.

News Credits: 6 · Thu May 15, 2008 10:49 am

The version I'm using supports 4 types of bmp, JPEG, GIF, TIFF, and PNG.

It's a diverse little program indeed.

Thu May 15, 2008 10:52 am

its worked! thanks for all your help!
what do you think? now all i need is a sig :-?

News Credits: 6 · Thu May 15, 2008 10:54 am

In reply to your PM Chronic, yes it's very nice indeed! Look you breaking the trend and just going for England's flag

I would suggest shrinking your name tag a bit, so it fits within the badge's borders.

You'll have a job getting a sig. Sig makers are hard to come by nowadays.

Why, I remember the olde sig thread. 'Twer full of sig makers. I gots two sigs from that thread. One from HMW programmer Glyph.

Thu May 15, 2008 11:03 am

glad you like it, reackon ill make the sig myself, probbly take a pic of my TFs in front of the ark (which i made)

for now thogh im gonna watch some more sopranos

tomoro i've got to go down to the west end to buy a prezzie for my dad
so ill cheak out if any new toys are down there and report back

Cool.

I've got a free day tomorrow!
I'm going in for a little party in biology, and then to a mate's house for Halo 3 and Gears of War all day! =D

Tek! You got that sig to be small enough!

Gloucester Toys R' Us has LOADS of the Animated 2 pack. Well, it has one less now than it did this morning.

Time to dig out the digicam and make with the reviews, methinks.

News Credits: 5 · Thu May 15, 2008 12:29 pm

Thu May 15, 2008 1:16 pm
