Jedi Knight TarynS Member | posted 08-05-1999 06:24 AM And Hello insomniac Rockie, Why can't you sleep? Will you joining us Slackers? The only time I become something remotely resembling and insomniac is during the school year. Oh well. Signing out till I can reach another terminal. Laterzzzz. IP: Logged |
rookie Member | posted 08-05-1999 06:33 AM Jedi Knight TarynS, I don't know why I can't sleep really...this usually happens while I'm on summer break. And yes, I will be joining you slackers.IP: Logged |
ded Member | posted 08-05-1999 06:43 AM Rookie, cool web page! Very out there! IP: Logged |
THX 1204 Member | posted 08-05-1999 06:47 AM dapper Macromedia Dreamweaver is probably your best bet, although if you know basic raw HTML then I like Hot Dog Pro - you can get hold of trial versions of this as well.You'rr in London aren't you? .net magazine used to have trial versions of most of the popular editors on it's cover CD.

Dark Lord of the Garlic Member | posted 08-05-1999 06:49 AM I'm a Cali Insomniac as well...must be something about California summers Anyway, so I'm really serious about this slacker mind control thing...it is real. How else could I accomplish so much while doing so little. Yes, manipulating the minds of authority figures is much fun, but I must know if I tread too close to the dark side.IP: Logged |
Darth Tater Member | posted 08-05-1999 07:09 AM ded, I had a feeling someone from around here designed them. Sorry for the robbery, but you really should provide an e-mail address so we can ask permision. If I remember correctly, someone else pointed me to your graphics, so you're famous!IP: Logged |
ded Member | posted 08-05-1999 07:16 AM Darth Tater, don't worry about it I just got a bit of a shock when I saw all my graphics on the forum! My email adress is in my profile, incedently. Also, somone told you about them? Wow... IP: Logged |
Darth Tater Member | posted 08-05-1999 07:33 AM Yeah. I think they're great. Although I had tried to post a few more of them and they didn't work. What program did you do them on?IP: Logged |
ded Member | posted 08-05-1999 07:40 AM I made the 3D models in Ray Dream Designer on a mac, and did the textures in Photoshop. I will be putting some more up soon when I figure out how to IP: Logged |
gundark Member | posted 08-05-1999 08:20 AM good morining slackers...i see we were hard at work last night... this morning i have a story to tell... at the end of my shift yesterday i was going through the normal routine of filing some loose papers, cleaning out my internet history and my cache, and shutting down the computer. i was waiting for the litlle orange " it is now safe to turn off your computer " to show up when suddenly a full screen picture of Darth Maul's ugly mug appeared with the caption " at last you may turn off your computer "... i didn't put this on my computer.
i wouldn't even now how to. is this some sort of sign, or have my co-workers played their first trick on me ? the funny thing is... i'm never away from desk long enough during the day for someone to alter my shutdown screen in this way, and at lunch i shut my system down, so no one but the IT department could have logged on and changed things. could they be on to me ? stay tuned

THX 1204 Member | posted 08-05-1999 08:31 AM gundark,I think someone has decieved you.. there is a file that contains the shutdown "image" -the orange writing. It is possible to put another picture in it's place. I can't remember the name of the file, If I do I'll let you know. It is too cool though Dart Maul every time you shut your PC down. IP: Logged |

The Sandfarmer Member | posted 08-05-1999 09:01 AM Good morning everyone. Hi gundark, Amy, TarynS, ded, THX, dapper, rookie, Garlic etc.Hey TarynS, my web page sucks but it will be better. My buddy in Virginia who is a puter tech is going to meet with me this weekend via ICQ and he already has 5 MP3's of my band's music to add to the page. The address is: http://www.homestead.com/wildnewangels/wildnewangels.html There really is nothing there yet though because I don't know what I am doing and the edit function on the page sucks and I don't know how to write html. It does have a guest list though if anyone whants to sign up and give me pointers.

Hacienda51 Member | posted 08-05-1999 09:07 AM Good morning from the *SAUCIEST* slacker. I was hoping I had the pictures from the beach house in May where I sat in the hot tub all day drinking rum & Cokes and reading "Us" magazine, but no go. Creepio--love the Fear and Loathing look. The batswatter is a nice touch. Let another fine day of slacking commence! IP: Logged |
Amidala's Suitor Member | posted 08-05-1999 09:08 AM dapper bloke, the web page is looking great!Good Morning all and welcome back TarynS, your presence was missed yesterday and welcome aboard new slacker Amee Amy Ami! (sp?) Anyway, it's been a busy couple of days and I've actually had to work, but things should slow down today and hopefully I'll be able to get in some good slacking. So until next time, MTSBWY!

QASM Member | posted 08-05-1999 09:17 AM Hey gang! Long time no see....It seems that lots has been going on here! All I can say is WOW!! Hi TarynS! Thanks for thinking of me. I probably won't be around much anymore since I've quit my job to go back to grad school (after almost 4 years). But I will try to check in or at least pop in for a cocktail in the lounge every now and then. Until then.... MTSBWY <Q out> IP: Logged |
C Creepio Member | posted 08-05-1999 09:17 AM It always feels good to begin another day of slack. Let me grab a quick cup of coffee to jump start my slackage, then I'm posting this weeks Official Slacker Awards!!IP: Logged |
gundark Member | posted 08-05-1999 09:37 AM just in case anyone needs a reminder... last weeks slacker awards are on page new slackers might want to check it out. IP: Logged |
C Creepio Member | posted 08-05-1999 09:53 AM Here we go:Slacker of the Week: dapper_bloke This was awarded yesterday (for obvious reasons) but I had to recognize the greatness that is the new swmcmmj website once again. Best New Slacker Technique: Not really a technique, more of a slacker insight goes to Hacienda51 for her quote, "True slackers never act fast." How true, how true. Most Enthusiastic Slacker: Three way tie Sandfarmer Obi Two THX1204 Best Post: By far Darth Tater's little Leia-Shoots-Stormtroopers-And-Then-Vader-Shows-Up Movie. That represents the essence of pure slack. Keep up the good work, slackers. Make the slack proud!

Jabbadabbado Member | posted 08-05-1999 10:07 AM Man I've really been out of the loop. A lot has happened in the past week, and I've missed all of it. But today, at last, is slack day. Good Morning slackers!IP: Logged |

The Sandfarmer Member | posted 08-05-1999 10:18 AM Thanks for the award Creepio. It is good to see that there are some folks in the forum who don't hate me. I'd like to take this moment to thank all those who helped me win. I'd like to thank Jasman, Preacher Boy and all the administrators who upset me so much this past week that I had to slack double time. I'd like to thank my boss for providing my computer here at work which has destroyed my productivity but made me strong in the ways of the slack. I'd like to thank C Creepio, the inspiration behind the slack and last but not least, I'd like to thank my cat (The Pit Droid) for making me coffee each morning. Thanks Now back to the slack. WARNING***WARNING***WARNING Don't forget that the past several Thursdays in a row the forum has basically imploded on itself and we have been moved, shut down or deleted. Let's keep our fingers crossed that we make it through the day. IP: Logged |
THX 1204 Member | posted 08-05-1999 10:25 AM What can I say.. sob, sob (Gwyneth style!) Thanks Creepio I will keep up the good work!The Sandfarmer I have been impressed with your posts over the last week, although I think jasman and PB are not going to see things from our point of view!

The Sandfarmer Member | posted 08-05-1999 10:28 AM Hey, that means we've been here in Misc for a week and no one has died or killed an administrator yet. Yes, the slack is good. The slack surrounds us and binds us. Even between the basher and the slacker. Even between the member...and the administrator.Slack on. IP: Logged |
