Yep, sounds good. Where do we meet and when? I'd suggest around 7pm?

On that note...
I have to apologize in advance to anyone at the meet in advance. If there aren't going to be any name tags, I will definitely be bad about remembering names with faces. I have poor memory skills in that area. So if I call anyone by the wrong name, or don't remember who's who, please accept my apologies in advance. ___________ Tony Fabris

Ditto, but if you display your customer number I might work it out
We had name badges at Amersfoort - personally I feel like a twat wearing one, but they might be practical. I have vehicle ID slips to put inside your windscreens, though, to help with the competitions and general interest. Hopefully that will also stop people staring into cars that have nothing to do with the meet!

Yeah, we do name tags at the Filk cons, and I agree that they are a little silly, but very practical if you can get past the silly part. If there's any way we can do name tags, I think it would be a great help. As long as they don't say "Hello, I'm" on them.
You know, it could be really simple. Surely someone has access to a pile of Rio or Empeg stickers of some kind, right? Just bring the pile of stickers to the meet, buy a few Magic Markers, and make everyone write their name across the Rio or Empeg logo and stick it on their shirt (or sleeve or butt or wherever).

I don't have any stickers here unfortunately. I'll try to stop by a stationery store and pick up some badges of some description.

So no more countdowns... should we count up?
-2 hours so far... ;-)
It was really fun to meet everyone. I'm now TOTALLY excited about 1.1 - only 2 weeks away!!!
Hope to see you all again soon!
Funniest thing that happened today at the meet: Loren's idea to have Hugo and Rob sign our Empeg's. Classic...
Anyone that lives locally, drop me a line sometime and we'll go have some fun!
- Jon
PS: Let the pictures begin!

I have 45 megabytes of jpeg images. I need a volunteer to host the images.
Anyone?

I can probably host them on a friends server. I'll work out the details of getting them once I'm home. (Right now I'm still 670 miles away from home.)

well, you can build your html and stuff, and I can host it on my cable-modem. However, I am not too sure of the speed of my connection outside of n/a. Take a look at this and see if you are happy with the speed.
Or someone who has a better connection is welcome to step up to the plate. Smoker_Man#080000449 MkII - 36Gb Blue

holy crap! is that straight from the camera? Could you optimize the jpg's a bit with photoshop or imagestyle or fireworks or something? I'd be happy to host them if you can get them down a tad.
I didn't take nearly enough pics and the ones i took aren't all that great, but i'll try and put them up tonight.

Wow, that seems a little large. I second Loren's question about them being optimized. Either way, I volunteer to host any images you or anyone else has. Just let me know.

Yes. The camera has a 256 megabyte capacity, and I had it set to medium resolution all the time. Medium resolution is 2048x1536. I think high resolution I can only take about 40 pictures... In any case, I have lots of details, including a shot of hugo holding up the tuner. Just let me know where to send the pictures, and if you want to scale them down a bit, go right ahead -- bit you'll lose some details. :)

I second the notion of hosting anyones files/pictures, however storage is not an issue for me. But perhaps the pics should be optimized (slightly) for web delivery.
So if you want me to host, I have the space, let me know, and I can give you the upload info.
Cheers

Tell me where and how to get them to you. I'll send them to you right now, and when somebody else or myself gets a chance, the pictures can be web optimized later... maybe after work.

In reply to:

Assuming all the images are the same size, resolution, etc, using PS 5.0 or later and that you want to overwrite the original files.
1. Open one of the images.
2. Actions palette>new action. Click Record.
3. Scale the image.
4. Save it (the compression settings will be remembered) and close it.
5. Stop the action recording.
6. File>automate>batch.
7. Set the action to run and the source folder.
8. Click OK and watch them all be processed automatically.

I guess I'll mix together some of the video footage and knock up an MPG or AVI when I get back to the UK. That is, if I can find a suitably cheesy backing track.
