Re: What does your Avatar picture mean?
Well in here, an officer is not allowed to tell you to piss off or to laught at you. In here it's a different situation. If I went to my commander with a problem, by the rules he must listen to me and must help me solve it either way. So they were trying to avoid you by distracting you, so after 10 mins of conversation he'd tell you "ok you got your 10 mins you've asked what you wanted now let me on with my job, your'e dismissed", but eventualy you got nothing from him but then you could not complain because you did enter his office and you did talk with him for 10 minutes :)
It's also called "Gurnisht min Gurnisht" In Yeidish language. Its "nothing for nothing". I was a medic, and like the officers I couldnt tell the soldiers trying to avoid their duty to piss off, so I'd give them a bottle of salt water telling them it's a medicine, or just inject them with a saline (physical water) and they got their "cure" :) It was by the doctor's orders as well.
There are many tricks for that matter believe me, when I think about it... the things I did in the army... I'd get in jail for them now :)

Oh it was done at a schooling situation, so many people around,
and I asked him a question the manual didn`t talk about.
He ridiculed the question made some people laugh, and thought
he was finished. I just raised my hand again and asked it with more
detail, then he was stuck, he didn`t expect that I would try again
and had to admit he didn`t know the answer.
The lesson is, never give up easily. ;)
Oh yeah, saw your tutorial video, really liked it, clear quality.

Re: What does your Avatar picture mean?
This avatar is me and one of my bird friends (taken earlier this year) with a background I created and then gave the picture a sort of sepia tone like in an old photo.
The avatar is meant to look a bit mystical, and when I look at the picture I think of John Lennon's words in the song "Imagine."

Re: What does your Avatar picture mean?
Availor: couldn't open your link (to heavy?) but looking forward to your site. BTW: great logo! :)
Crow Haven: beautiful bird!!! (and beautiful you of course!) It's definitly very mystical! One of your birdfriends? You have more? Wow! I've just chickens and a rooster...:D
Re: What does your Avatar picture mean?
Crow Haven: You've done your thing with the mystic look, I like your avatar. And I like the bird very much! Is that your pet?
MarciaB: I don't know why you couldn't download the file. It's 3.5MB I tried and succeeded in downloading it, so did other people as I know. It's just a test nothing special anyway...
Re: What does your Avatar picture mean?
Hi Maya,
We've missed you around here. Love the owl.
Re: What does your Avatar picture mean?
Marcia - I tried to view availor's file a couple times - it would say Connecting. I stopped it because of my impatience. The last time I let it go while doing something else and it eventually came through.
Be patient, wee grasshopper.

I paid 95$ for 2 years with 50GB of space and 1TB of traffic and a free domain. The cheapest thing I could find.
I am not that naive to think the server will work smoothly, that's why it's just a beta. If I see it works I will add more hosts so you will have mirror links. One of which will have to work :)
