8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC Part 14

[cruisin'Mike]

Welcome back Roger! It sounds like your family had a great trip. And I love your new pirate pic with Pirate Mickey!

 

[arlenesp]

Welcome Home Roger.
Glad you had good weather. Was it raining when you got off the Wonder yesterday? The weather looked pretty wet at the Port.Hope you have some time to relax before chat tonite

Great Picture by the way.

 

[magiroux]

Ok, so here is the post on proposals for the website. PM me with any concerns you don't want to share publicly.

All the proposals sound good to me. Thanks again for all your hard work, J.R. You sound like you need one of these..

JR, thank you again for all your work.

I will do what I can to keep the site moving. If you want your and your families birthday's posted, add it to the calendar and I will approve as quick as possible.


One of the really cool/great things about this website is that the content was provided by YOU (each and everyone of YOU). JR did the programming, but the links, the subject matter, the cool pictures, etc. were all pulled from the thread. WE as a group can be proud of this site.

Let's enjoy!

Thanks to you too, Tom.

Yes Arlene, it was pouring yesterday morning. Was also raining at the airport and we set on the runway to take off because of the rain. It was the only time we had rain on the Wonder.

..and thanks lisa, for all the stuff you done. i hope all
the stuff you been tied up with ..works out. i know our
school systems ..can make anyone wanting to pull their hair out.
and...that's a big job you're taking on. * sure hope major things
have'nt forced changes in your cruise plans...

..& i appricated how "safe" our personal info....you are.




who'dya thought....j.r.....had great technical knowledge & his wife's
permission...


..... , over some of the debates. i never understand exactly
the problem..last time, which meant i wasn't on the site yet? anyhoo,
..i can understand..why some would be very concern..over "intruders'
messin up..people e-mails, esp. those conducting buisness.

...i really liked esteri's insights...because they reflected what i felt this
site should be...sharing of cruise knowledge, & preferences...* i talk
alot of about my lil'miss, cos thats my primary operations...it will be
rare when we are not doing things on the cruise together...our interests
also will guide the slections ..we most likely be doing. noticed? i have
alot of focus...on eating? , we got resvs. for boma ,christmas day.

i do think its should be a open form for all those cruising & visiting here,
no mater how much or lil' they're posting. i think its great when others
talk about themselves and families...and iam not bothered if others feels
"we" not there types/or appeal to their sense of interests. [heck, if we
were all the same, & did all the same things, the ship...might take on
water..out of balance? { note...i eating... }, but
there's something to toast..about respecting other differnces & or
preferences. i can understand...those that would not want to be near,
when my boys sit down..to eat....the food will disppear, quick fashion.


for myself..i have a strong penchant , for those who put others down,
to feel good about themselves...even on disney cruises, we have
experienced some intrusive people, requiring limit settings & redirecting.
again~ why here?....we have done 5 cruises. we considered very blessed,
not privileged. any hoo, i that's where i saw the dis group doing their
things...never been interested in groups... but i saw how nice and how
much they created for themselves...families..and everyone else.
that type of spirit should be encouraged.

me..like too!


..its embrasssing...seeing that ohio's fireman..out of uniform & in his bikini!
...i don't think i'll ever "get" what wenches "see" in us??

..ok, who's getting marry tomorrow? (o7-07-07) lucky &

 

[dahuffy]

I think I want this one!

Yep DD is 13 & doesn't need a B A B Y S I T T E R but I just prefer to take her & DS to dinner with us while we're in WDW. Our big dinner every trip is CG right now. They love it as much as we do! I'm still not even sure DH would be thrilled with V&A since he is strictly a meat & potatoes guy.
Plus with the prices they are charging...he darn well better be thrilled or at least I can say, "Well it was our anniversary so it was worth it!"

Hum. Seems to me it's the perfect age to introduce them to gormet dining. V&A isn't much of a step up from the CG. Maybe bring them along? (or maybe not )

In any case, your DH will find things to eat. Not everything is "weird". Mostly it's in how it's worded. For example, Fresh Rotinni Pasta in a Three Cheese Bechemel Sauce is nothing more than good old Mac and Cheese. Though a very good Mac and Cheese. I expect your server can provide a more down to earth translation of the menu if you need it.

The few times we've been there's always been a chicken, seafood, and beef or game (duck, buffalo, venison, etc. nothing outlandish) choice for the main dish.

That one needed a monitor warning!!

So I have no idea what the forecast is - but I bet searing "dangerous" heat is a part of it.​

Supposed to drop to a lovely and "cool" 93 degrees tomorrow here in Sac-a-tomatos. The delta breeze sprang up this morming - so I have hope of cooler weather in the near future.​

Hope you see the same in SoCal!!​

The rake saw what he did to the shovel, hoe and axe and ran. Its now in the implement protection program.

This one needed a monitor warning too!!​

JR - Thank you for the explanation. What I was reading makes a whole lot more sense now. I like your proposal and am comfortable with it.

JR and Tom -
You ROCK!

 

[Esteri]

In honor of Crash's weekend plans...


What do pirates like to eat?

Barrrrbeque!


Go burn something on the grill, you Pirate!

All right, who has been teaching Esteri how to find a post graphics????

Cute pic!

Our family is back from our 10 day commando (no we had underwear) whirlwind tour of WDW/Wonder. We had a great time but everyone is tired. We we all happy to sleep in our own beds last night. We were disappointed that we did not meet up with Tom31B while we were there but trying to see 4 parks in 4 days, dealing with Disney transportation, lack of cell phone signals, and inability of accessing the Internet from CBR. Overall we had a fantastic time but obviously tried doing too much in a short period of time. We could not have had better weather while we were there. This is something that I worried about before leaving. Only rained (hard rain) once on us at Epcot and that was only for about 45mins.

Welcome Home Roger!!!! I love the picture, you all look so great! I'm glad you all had fun.

Ok, so here is the post on proposals for the website. PM me with any concerns you don't want to share publicly.

1) Access. I propose the following areas of the site be freely available to anyone on the Internet with no user name or password:

a) Itinerary
b) Thread Info
c) Useful Info

My rationale is all of this info has previously been posted here on the DIS and anyone can come to the DIS and view this info without needing a user ID or password.


2) All other areas will be password protected because they will contain personal information. Understand that my reason for doing this is I am concerned about random strangers finding out family details and travel plans. Unfortunately, knowing someone's first name, birthday, etc. can be enough to start stealing someone's identity. I am not doing this to exclude people for any other reason.

Access will be given if you meet the following criteria:

a) Have a valid DIS ID (so we have at least one way of keeping you informed since e-mail addresses can change)
b) Meet the minimum requirements for sending and receiving PMs from the DIS (since this will be the method used to communicate to avoid publishing e-mail addresses where spammers can harvest them)
c) Have provided the information requested on the main page of the site. (We will NOT publish all of this info on the website but in order to be fair, we can't allow you to see someone else's personal info without providing yours in the same way we will not share yours if you don't have access).

Some people have had their personal information removed and access denied to previous versions of the website. I don't know the reasons but I am not sure I can give access to these people. This is causing me a lot of personal turmoil and would welcome your thoughts here.

Some have suggested that prior to having access to the 'personal' parts of the site, you have to have posted to this thread a specific number of times. Let me know if this is how you want to do it. The general information areas would be open to all.

3) Personal Information will be limited to what you are willing to share. I have deleted everything I received from Lisa and will start over with the personal info. I am going to ask that you send in all of the info requested.

If you do NOT tell me what you want displayed, I will display only DIS ID, adults' names, childrens' gender and age (DS13) and hometown.

Otherwise, I will display whatever you ask. Last names will never be shown and hometowns will be sanitized to just major city/state (e.g. "Chicago, IL" for me.

4) We will be looking for people to serve as authors and editors and reviewers of content. Particularly in making sure that links work after they are posted, typing up content and sending it to be posted, etc. Hopefully we can find new site administrators as well. The site uses the Mambo CMS, so if you have any familiarity with that, please let me know.

Ok, anyway, that's the post. I will probably not be around for a little while. Boy Scout camp, daughter's Vacation Bible School and some personal issues will take precedence for me in the coming week.

Once again Thank you for all that you have done ! I think your suggestions are great. I really don't know enough about computers to help out but I can support you & Tom .

JR, thank you again for all your work.

I will do what I can to keep the site moving. If you want your and your families birthday's posted, add it to the calendar and I will approve as quick as possible.

I agree with the sections that JR is proposing to be public.

Other wise, please consider this. We have about 14 months until the trip. NOTHING, let me repeat, NOTHING on this website needs to be done today, this minute, right now, etc. Lets take our time and discuss things in a rational manner.

One of the really cool/great things about this website is that the content was provided by YOU (each and everyone of YOU). JR did the programming, but the links, the subject matter, the cool pictures, etc. were all pulled from the thread. WE as a group can be proud of this site.

Let's enjoy!

Thank you Tom for all of your help also. I think you & J.R should just take a break...............you guys deserve it.

 

[castoff]

Yeah, I forgot the birthday part. Add your birthdays to the calendar for those of you who have access. Also you can add in any other special events like anniversaries, divorces, day you get out of prison, etc.

And I will echo Tom's sentiments. We wanted to get a website up to be able to avoid losing track of all the great information already posted inside 66000 posts of fluff, but the rest can come later. I'll open up the 'public' areas later today and hopefully that will eliminate some of the concern from people being shutout because of low post counts b/c getting IDs out has taken much longer than I thought...

o.k if we get to put the date we get out of prision then I say we can at least put the date we all pay for this toal off.

 

[castoff]

Tina my DD is also very shy but I'll PM w/ my email address. I don't know how much she'll write since she always asks me, "What do I say?" but hopefully they'll get to know each other a little.

That is something Brooke would say.

This is something that I worried about before leaving. Only rained (hard rain) once on us at Epcot and that was only for about 45mins.

I have missed so much here with the launch of the new website. We would like to thank JR and Tom for their hard work on this great website. JR the site looks great and you have our full support in the handling of security. What you have posted sounds like a very logical approach to this problem. If I can make a suggestion on something that I would find useful with the pirate list is to have DIS user name/real first name of posters for chat. Many of us know most peoples names but occasionally someone new pops in and we do not know their names.

Welcome back, love the pic.

 

[m&m's mom]

I am coming from a perspective of not ever understanding what the problem has been. I got some weird emails and read a few comments about things that had been said to or about someone else, but it did not ever make sense.
That being said, I have no problem with anyone seeing anything I sent Lisa originally. I, also am confused on if we need to send everything in again to one of you.
Thanks so much for handling all this madness. It will all be worth in about 14 months.
