Hes not being a control freak, he just doesn't want this place to disintegrate into something resembling an aol chat room.

He's not being a control freak. There is too much testosterone on this BBS as it is. We don't need you scaring away the few females we do have.

It's up to Mark -- I think as long as people are coming up with cool animations it will continue, but it's the default anim for his kernel, so I defer to him....

Mike,

You 'da man, thanks for posting the original logo. The std HJ logo is cool but I ain't ready to cull waving Tux just yet - Tony, (belated) cudos to you for the std logo, nice work fellah. I guess I'm still too much of an empeg newbie to want anything else atm.

Is this empeg feel-good thing abnormal? <g>

The more I see this, the more I think you should try to put underpants on him....

But it couldn't just be the underpants, I'd have to do the shirt, too.

Thanks, Rue, glad you liked it.

I get a warm fuzzy every time I think about how many people are waving back at the Tux I animated.

I think the underpants are the signature though ... I've bastardized your animation as a proof of concept This was done in like 30 seconds, so nobody is allowed to judge my underpants

... and the gif

yeah I do that everytime...
my fiance makes fun of me though...
I just don't think she'll ever understand...

hmm...that does look pretty good...

First attempt

With the underpants on it makes you realize what a fat-ass that penguin is.

Hmm, He's beginning to look like Homer Simpson. All he needs is a beer can and a haircut.

mmmmm beer

Oh that is way too cool!! Great job on the briefs.



As for the poll being taken I hope people don't really vote, makes me feel a little strange having it there. I may be single but that is not why I come to this board. I am a geek like everyone else here and just enjoy my empeg. Like any other member you can send me a PM or an email. You won't scare me off but don't try to

Hey guys -- I think this is a request to remove the poll .. I think it should be respected.

Thanks.

I would think that any of you guys would feel a bit weird if a poll was started like that about you.

I did post a logo that I made.

Maybe you should....I can think of a suspect.

Options of:

Yes, I've had a bad day, and need a good laugh.
No, I have no need to see pics of someone who thinks he's a 'l33t h8x0R 'cos he knows how to write a BBS poll.

Nah, best to just drop it. No harm was meant.

What the hell is a 'l33t h8x0R?

Let's just let this branch of the thread die quietly, is everyone OK with that? How 'bout that Tony Tux animation, huh? Is that good work or what

Great work.

The underpants end up looking like a diaper when they're by themselves like that.

so nobody is allowed to judge my underpants

Too late.

Actually, you've drawn them fine, it's just that Tux's body shape and the low rez makes it hard to get them to look right. If I'd drawn them they would have looked the same.

Neutrino, that is incredibly cool.

"My name is Bond. Tux Bond."

Tony, Your animation Rocks! I was just honing my Break-Out skills, and watching it forward, then in reverse was sweet. Who knew Tux was so light on his feet :]

as i don't have much time to read all posts - maybe my suggestion is already discussed.

what would you think about a separate page where all animated bootup-gif's are available for download plus a description about how to install it?

Funny you should mention waving back at the Tux. This has been something I have struggled with every time I turn the Empeg on. Almost everyone I have shown the Emeg to waves back, but so far I have resisted. . .

I was wondering if their is a name for a condition where you "wave at inatimant objects"?

Well, I haven't made it to work ontime once this week (on Tuesday I woke up at 12:30), so now that I discovered the animation editor, there's no hope for tomorrow.

Here's my first shot:



It looks cool here, but looks like [censored] on my empeg.

The links are broken because I changed ISP's and didn't finish uploading pages because it's a pain. You can't FTP the pages like I used to be able to and have to go to some upload page of their's and can only do 5 at a time.

I need to finish it someday or just take it all down.
