I just finished doing some stuff on the Survivor site. I was then wondering what I could do with this site. I mean this is our group blog for crying out loud!
Don't you think we should spruce this thing up a little for the holidays? I have a whole bunch of Christmas Themed pics from the nightclub years. I could scan them and do some other stuff with the site. If anyone knows how to program for some rotating pics in a space on the sidebar or can point me where to learn how to do this, I will be more than happy to apply my meager skills to this endeavor. [Actually I'm practicing for my new site designs and need a guinea pig] Plus I want to try a couple of things out to see how to make them work.
Anyway, you guys let me know if you want me to do this for the group! Thanks!

On behalf of the Jewish Munuvians I'd like to chuck in at least some Chunnukah related bits too...Christmas is a hard time of year for me. No tree, no presents, too much boring Musak, pictures of snow and a drunken old man with an unkempt beard. No bitterness here, no sireee.
Posted by Simon at November 13, 2003 03:19 AMChristmas trees are just the way the Church incorporated the local pagan traditions to drum up interest...any religious significance was applied later. So go ahead an put up a tree! Call it the Winter Solstice tree....
Posted by Susie at November 13, 2003 02:40 PMWell then screw the holiday thingy then. Didn't mean to step on anybody's toes... just trying to do something nice for everyone... sorry I volunteered.
However, the reason I even brought the point up was that this is the group "home" and I thought that instead of a plain template with the sidebar tweeaks and hacks, that the group would like an upgrade to the look and feel of the site. If everyone agrees with that, I would be happy to take a run at a new design. And if you didn't like it fine, go back to this one - no big thing.
Posted by The Bartender at November 13, 2003 03:25 PMThis is the same group who can't agree on one button...so if I were you, Michael, I would just pretend I never made that offer. ;-)
Posted by Jennifer at November 13, 2003 04:40 PMI propose we change this blog to red text on a green background.
Posted by Pixy Misa at November 13, 2003 05:10 PMPixy is grumpy, today! Well, I would be too if I'd had to put up with all the computer disasters he has lately...
How about wallpaper with nice non-denominational holly? Oh, wait--Christmas and Hanukkah are in summer for Pixy and Simon...hmmm...
Posted by Susie at November 13, 2003 07:44 PMWell, I'm going to make a holiday cow puppy picture anyway.
Posted by LeeAnn at November 14, 2003 01:52 AMUm, Hong Kong was in the Northern Hemisphere last time I looked...
Less grumpy today. The only problem I have right now is that both my modem and my router want to handle NAT, so it doesn't work at all. And my PC at work is having memory errors. And I'm getting strange errors trying to copy files from my Linux box to my Windows box for backup purposes. And I'm nearly out of DVD-Rs, because the new lot of 100 I got is yucky but I haven't had a chance to send them back yet. And two of my monitors are in super-over-bright mode - but I've had that for a while. And the fan on the northbridge chip on the motherboard of my Windows box is making strange noises. (Thank D-g for that - I thought it was another disk drive going.)
But soon I will have two new computers. Yay! (Just trying to find out if a particular motherboard is the regular, Pro, Pro 2 or Pro 3 version.)
Oh, and I need to upgrade Linux on one of the servers at work because it's still running Red Hat 7.2 which has issues with managing large buffer pools. And I need to rebuild a stripe set on the terabyte server. And we're out of disk space on two servers, and the new disks haven't arrived yet.
But apart from that, nothing.
