THX 1204 Member	posted 08-06-1999 07:27 AM dapper_bloke, It's the ALT field, when you insert a picture in Dreamweaver in the preferences box there is a (or used to be) a box with ALT next to it, put your text in there it should work!! Sabé, you comments are too kind! I like the Othello theory glad (some) people agreed with me! TarynS are you around??? Creepio I you got back to sleep -waking up at 4 am is not what I like to see from our Slacker Leader !!! IP: Logged

Darth Tater Member	posted 08-06-1999 07:42 AM Darn, another pic that doesn't work. I hate the server! Almost time for the w word. But today being Friday, even my boss slacks so, despite the fact that we're behind on our dedline, this should be a great slacking day! Sincerely, Your IP: Logged
THX 1204 Member	posted 08-06-1999 08:03 AM dapper_bloke, That's okay sob sob I forgive you sob sob WAAAAA! sniff sob Sabé, A surprise awaits on your 2 threads..... IP: Logged
gundark Member	posted 08-06-1999 08:09 AM good morning all slackers... almost a hundred posts already. excellent work people. the slack has grown strong with us all. The website is looking great ! IP: Logged
ded Member	posted 08-06-1999 08:11 AM dapper_bloke, that's not something dreamweaver is doing, it's Internet Explorer. The little yellow things are just the alt's for the graphics. In the image inspector window, under the align pull-down menu there is a text box labled alt. Darth Tater, it's a login page for a web based email service (like hotmail), but, unfortunatly, it's not open for public use yet (I use it for all my mail, however) Sabe, I'm touched IP: Logged
Sabé Member	posted 08-06-1999 08:11 AM THX 1204, I love you. (And the regular Star Wars answer to that is... ) IP: Logged

Dark Lord of the Garlic Member	posted 08-06-1999 08:38 AM Hey Sabe, my "Anakin sees Obi-Wan with Padme and thinks it is Amidalia" theory got no votes? Even with my putting in "Hey baby, you want to see my lightsabe" pickup line? That is hard to believe... On second thought I will go cast my vote ofr "Othello" IP: Logged
C Creepio Member	posted 08-06-1999 08:39 AM Hey, gang. bloke: the Slacker's Mission Statement will be on the way soon. I printed out the original SWMCMMJ thread- the one from back in May. There are some great quotes. If fact, here in the very 1st SWMCMMJ post ever.... C Creepio 5/28/99 8:39AM Seriously, I'm on this forum so much at work that I think I brought down the whole network. My future employment at this company is in serious jeopardy but I just can't stop. I can't imagine life without Star Wars. God, help me. Anyone else having this problem? I need a friend. IP: Logged
ded Member	posted 08-06-1999 08:45 AM …I think you got one IP: Logged
gundark Member	posted 08-06-1999 08:50 AM ah... the humble beginings... how many threads is this now ? IP: Logged
Sabé Member	posted 08-06-1999 08:51 AM Well, Creepio, be careful of what you wish, cause you could just happen to get it... Don't you get tired of having all of us hanging around ? Wouldn't you like a little privacy ? By the way, guys, I'm going on holidays in Normandy. Normandy is... Well, I'm stupid, you know where Normandy is. John Wayne, Soldier Ryan, all that. I'm going to slack on the beach ! I'll see you all in fifteen days or something. A BIG KISS to EVERYBODy. IP: Logged
ded Member	posted 08-06-1999 08:56 AM A big kiss to you, Sabe This is probably goodbye for good as I'm leaving work today and so won't have any time to acess the internet So, thank you Sabe for being possibly the nicest person at JC! Bye… IP: Logged
Sabé Member	posted 08-06-1999 09:03 AM Oh, ded, you're so sweet. No net access at all, or do you have e-mail at least ? IP: Logged
Hacienda51 Member	posted 08-06-1999 09:04 AM Hacienda51 signing and ready to slack! The bosses are out today so life is good. Thanks for the many kind comments posted on this thread. It's so nice to be among cool people. I truly slack with the best of 'em. IP: Logged
dapper_bloke Member	posted 08-06-1999 09:04 AM that historic first SWMCMMJ post is now proudly displayed on the home page of the website... I'm sure you all know where it is now, but for those who have not paid attention... http://welcome.to/swmcmmj I need: more photos of you slackers... a list of past winners of Slacker Awards... a list of memorable quotes... I can't get into the old thread so I need help... IP: Logged
Crystena77 Member	posted 08-06-1999 09:04 AM I come in and people are leaving. Will miss you both. C Creepio and Sandfarmer Thanks for the answers to my question guys. I thought so... I've checked in for this slack day. My thought for the day: Never mix slack with pleasure - - wait isn't slack pleasure? Have to come up with another one. Hold on. IP: Logged
Sand farmer Member	posted 08-06-1999 09:05 AM Hey guess what I just found out. I was talking to my boss and he says, "Do you have internet access on your computer?" and I say, "I think so, I'm not sure, let me check." They don't even know. I'm not even minimizing much anymore. Slack on. IP: Logged
C Creepio Member	posted 08-06-1999 09:17 AM bloke and slackers galore-- Here is the Official Slacker's Oath, my donation to the website. I'll try to dig up some quotes later. But here it is for all to see!!! The Slacker's Oath On my honor, I will do no work. I will discuss Star Wars and other unrelated topics all day. Slacking is my duty, to Yoda and country. I will slack at all times, either at my desk or away... I will know everything there is to know about Star Wars and when I think I can't possibly learn anymore, I will stumble across an R2-D2 = C3PO (proof inside) thread which will open up a new realm of slackdom. I will slack so hard that I will slack at slacking. The slack will always be strong with me. So help me Yoda. Is that OK? We can amend if need be. Suggestions? IP: Logged
THX 1204 Member	posted 08-06-1999 09:18 AM Sand farmer that Jedi Mind trick must be working; boss: I want to see you Internet History folder, bring it up now. Sand farmer: You don't need to see my history folder. boss: I don't need to see your History folder. Sand farmer: I haven't got internet access. boss: You haven't got internet access. Sand farmer: I can go on slacking boss: You can go on slacking. he he. Hve a great Holiday Sabé, I'm off to California next Thursday, for 2 1/2 weeks I'm so happy, mainly becuase I'm going to get my Obi-Wan and Battle Droid figures IP: Logged
gundark Member	posted 08-06-1999 09:23 AM almost got caught myself yesterday. i hope my boss couldn't read the Star Wars May Cost Me... on the minimize button while he was by my desk. I still have no idea how the Darth Maul shutdown screen appeared on my computer. IP: Logged
ded Member	posted 08-06-1999 09:30 AM Sabe, I will still come here when I get the chance (most likely thursday evenings) and I will still read my email (david.emery@lexicos.com -oops, gave away my name a bit, there, didn't I ) when I get the chance. IP: Logged
gundark Member	posted 08-06-1999 09:32 AM Creepio That's a beautiful thing. Maybe just a " May the Slack Be With You " at the end for a closing. Other than that, i think it's a creedo i can not work by IP: Logged
Crystena77 Member	posted 08-06-1999 09:36 AM Here goes nothing: Ask not what you can do to slack - just don't do anything at all. O.K. I'll stop. IP: Logged
Intrigue007 Member	posted 08-06-1999 09:39 AM If any work absolutely HAS to be done, I will do it on Tuesday (or have someone else do it). The reason for Tuesday is like this: You can get away with slackin' more easily on Monday because you have just come from the weekend and no one expects that much from you. Wednesday is hump day and that speaks for itself. It is the middle of the long hard week and slackin' on Wednesday is perfectly acceptable. Thursday is the day before Friday so how could anyone possibly expect you to do anything constructive on the day before the day before the weekend? Everyone knows that you have to plan your slacking for Friday on Thursday. And then there is Friday, and friday is, well, FRIDAY. So therefore, Tuesday is the only day that any work at all needs to be done. Now that we have a solid Slackin' Formula we can put it to use. IP: Logged
dapper_bloke Member	posted 08-06-1999 09:39 AM Creepio - excellent "Slacker's Oath"... I have placed it on the website already as I will be leaving early today and I'm not in the office for a week (so no updates) if you decide you want to edit the wording at all, I can change it when I get back... slack on my friend, slack on...

ded Member	posted 08-06-1999 09:55 AM Star Wars didn't cost me my job (what a way to go!) but my job (as a graphic designer) was only a summer job so now my time is up. IP: Logged
THX 1204 Member	posted 08-06-1999 10:01 AM gundark, I have added to your babysitting thread - there was not enough comic material! I even managed to sneak in a subtle joke on bodily functions (just for you Sand farmer) Creepio I have taken an oath to uphold the Slacker Creed... I'm off to post some more - slack on brothers and sisters, slack on... p.s. Does any one have any Star Wars work stories? I brought Star wars chocolates for my colleagues... I am going to turn them from the dark side. Also one women here has been buying Star Wars crisps (they have a little Star Wars scratch game in them) as she knows I'm strong in all things SW, she asked me to play the game for her.. I sat there using the Force to see my next "scratch" - and I got to the end! I gave it back to let her choose between the £1million prize (odds of about 2million to 1, at least) of the GAURANTEED JarJar toy, needless to say greed took over and she went for the 1 million, losing. I was this close to a JarJr toy, this close damn it! IP: Logged

Dark Lord of the Garlic Member	posted 08-06-1999 10:12 AM I've been asking about the Slacker mind tricks for a while. Someone finally experienced it. In my last few days at work this summer, I found that as I grew stonger in the ways of the slack...my power over the mind of my employer also grew. I sense that I may have one too close to the dark side. It is a good thing I am at home all day now. I love being able to sit at home, post online and have my girlfriend bring me a bacon, egg and cheese biscut extra-value meal with a large coke instead of a coffee. What a gal, eh? This is true slacker utopia...now if only I can manage this and maintain my current academic status next semester... "Success, heh...advancement, heh...a slacker craves not these things." IP: Logged
