==========+ | __ __ || | | || | || | | || | || | |__||__| |-- | __ __()|\ Hi brojek, so sorry about the decorations. | | || | || Did I forget to use high test fishing wire | | || | || to hang those stars? | | || | || | |__||__| || |__________|- ejm
^^7^%< I'm very well thank you, brojek. And you?
^^7^^^7^%< I cannot stay long. I just wanted to see what was new....
brojek; when you tried to fix that animation that was crashing NS3, did you use a program to optimize it? Or did you optimize by hand?
llizard: no, you did not forget that :-)
llizard: I simply loaded the file into GIMP and saved it back. that's all.
brojek; Then the ornaments shouldn't have fallen!! Perhaps you attached your new ornaments with ordinary thread?
brojek; aha! I asked someone else about what I had done wrong and he apparently did the same thing. Very odd. GIMP seems to add transparencies where there were none! Just wondering. I am a luddite and have been optimizing by hand, frame by frame
llizard: i guess there where simply too many ornaments. I did not add any other thread to hang them, I used yours :-)
brojek; by way of apology for aiding in the ruin of your previously tasteful Christmas display, here is another tree: ^ / \ 7 ~ /o \ 7 \~o / o \ 7 o ~ /o / \ 7/ o 7 ~ ejm /7 | o\
brojek; I should have warned you to go to the cupboard and use more test line. It was already at capacity with the stars and bells
optimizing by hand.. geee, you have patience.

brojek; I don't know how long it will last though. The tree is starting to get a little dry.
brojek; after all that exertion, I think I NEEEEEEEED some caffeine now.
brojek; how did your coding look in the light of day?
gosh. I'll kill my isp. this time I mean it. :-/
brojek; I think I know what you mean. My isp acts up about twice a year. What happened this time? Disconnected?
llizard: I haven't got an opportunity to look at it since. I was coding a toy, you know, and well, I have other entertainments too :-) I'll have a look at it next year. I'm going to mountains this evening.
brojek; that is the latest problem that has been occurring for about a month now... sudden and inexplicable disconnections. It SEEMS to be resolved for the moment though.
brojek; excellent!! this is your skiing trip? For how long?
llizard: I have leased line here. should work non-stop. It does not.
brojek; what kind of toy? (glad to hear you have other entertainments as well)
brojek; that is the kind we have too. It should work nonstop but, well, you know....
llizard: and it's not the problem with hardware, they've screwed up something with routing. Lamasses.
brojek; our isp name is "idirect" and there are several people who started calling it "indirect"
brojek; hmmmm. sounds sadly familiar. perhaps you are with idirect too?
brojek; the problems here started when the isp did an expansion and "upgrade"
llizard: but well. enough of this complaining :-)
llizard: my current coding toys are: 1. http to irc gateway, allowing you to use irc client from behind http proxy. 2. Adding multiplayer support to Wolfenstein 3D. last time I was playing with toy no. 1.
llizard: which mountains. hmm. don;t know english name :-) part of Carpatian mountains.
brojek; I am hopeless at the coding thing. (Whatshisname set up the irc stuff that I rarely use.) But I have my map of Europe out and will look up the Carpatian mountains...
brojek; Rats!!! It's not a relief map... I will have to do another search. Where are the Carpatians in relationship to Poland, Czech Rep, Germany, Ukraine, etc. etc...?
llizard: climbing rather. :-) I don't ski.
llizard: Soutth of Poland, all of Czech, South-East of Germany, East edge of Ukraine. Most of Hungary even, If I'm not mistaken here.
brojek; I thought you skiied... (it was those little drawings of skiers that made me think so) I know we discussed skiing at one time but I have a terrible memory for facts.
llizard: I'll stick to Polish part, and maybe some Slovakian -- beer's very cheap in Slovakia.
brojek; Of course the mountains would extend beyond Romania. I'm doing a search right now and have found a hit on www.nerdworld.com -love the name of the URL!
llizard: well, I've drawn those skiers. And that's all of my skiing :-)
brojek; will you be climbing in snow? And do you do that kind of rock face climbing? /`. o_/_\ ejm97 \/ `. | \ / `\ ` ' `\_ / __o_/ \ ejm97' /_ `_ _/ / \ \ _/ / `\ /' `\
brojek; (that's like my down hill skiers! - I think I might have mentioned that I haven't downhill skiied since I was 10. And that is some time ago.)
llizard: search something East of "Tatry" or "Tatra" then :-)
llizard: not many rock-walls there. Little lonely rocks - 6 - 15 meters high - yes. covered with snow and ice make pretty interesting targets.
brojek; I can't find a decent map online. And this is getting silly. It would be SO much easier if I just went down one flight of stairs to look at our book atlas of the world.
llizard: perfectly suited to one day excursions. you go 3 hours to reach them, play with them for for an hour ro two, eat some dinner (hehe) on top, and return home becouse it's getting dark.
brojek; I have the book.... Do you have spikes on your climbing boots?
brojek; I found the mountains. (The stupid English changed the name to "Carpathian". I don't know why those idiots had to go changing names! It's not like there is that much difference)
brojek; It sounds like perfect sort of climbing. (especially the reward at the top) My atlas doesn't have Tatry. Where is it in relationship to Krakow?
brojek; I'm guessing south? (My atlas is old and has Czech Rep and Slovakia as one country)
brojek; anyway it sounds like just the thing. We are sticking around for the New Year. Whatshisname has to work until 31st and again on 3rd.
llizard: no. I don't use any equipment. I only have six meters of rope. Well, and good boots, they only slide on pure, mirror-like ice.
/| / | /__|______ | __ __ | | | || | | | | || | | | |__||__| |^%--- alas, brojek, I must go... | __ __()| \ have fun climbing! | | || | +` * | | || | | ! | | || | | /.\ | |__||__| | 7!~ |__________| ejm /.!!\ 7!!.~ /.!!!!\ 7!!!.!~ /.!!!99!\ [EJM]
brojek; that is the most fun kind of climbing. I call it scrambling. I did a fair amount like that in the Rockies near Banff and Jasper. (when I lived in Edmonton and could get there in under one day)
brojek; but I never did any winter climbing. The Rockies are covered in snow in winter. I guess if I had gone, it would have been to ski. See you the next time. I'm horribly jealous!
, llizard: Direct south from Krakow. Slovakia is the eastern half of former Czech-Slovakia.

brojek; It looks QUITE mountainous on the Slovakian side. Are you going to Gorski Park or Pieninski Park? (Sorry if those names are all wrong and have been changed. It's this old atlas)
brojek; But I really MUST go. Have fun. And remember that you lose your climbing legs if you have too much alcohol at the top.
