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

[radioclash2]

That looks a little like the B.O.B. excursion in Cabo. I agree it looks really cool
(perfect for those of use too chicken to scuba )

Those B.O.B. helmets looked scary to me.

 

[PBader]

I thought that looked pretty interesting too!

Are you trying to tell me all those advertisements I get for enhancements don't really work? Darn, I just sent all the money I got from my Nigerian uncle to buy some....

no, no, the enhancements really do work

I think we need to do some brainstorming about non-DCL excursions. I have heard several that want to go Zip-lining in PV but their kids are to young for DCLs version. There was a group a couple of 100 pages or so ago, there was a bunch of us talking about the pirate ship snorkel trip in Aruba. This was spearheaded by Mark (DisneyPilot) who has done this and highly recommended it. DCL does not have this listed. Anyway, I think it is time we have some kind of sign up list for those that would like to make up their own excursions. It still might be early but if we can get a rough head count we can contact the vendors as to availability. What do you say s?

Roger, that's a great idea

Check this out. Taken this afternoon.

Notice he's laying on a couch? Notice the blinds in the background? Notice the (undecorated) tree?



DS came home today.



He has to take it easy. Go back for another CT Scan in a few days. And follow up with the Neurologist in a week. But, he's home!

Dang ST. Wouldn't hardly eat in the hospital but asked for Micky D's this evening. Ate a small fries, cheesburger and chocolate sundae! That's more than he's eaten in an entire day. Yep, he's feeling better.

woo hoo ​

Hi Guys,

Just thought I'd share this link with you. The man who set this light display up in front of his home is part of the 10/24/09 cruise thread. I just watched all the videos he took the other night and has now posted them on YouTube. These are quite good and fun to watch. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did..............

Andy, that was crazy. Thanks for sharing.

 

[radioclash2]

I know,

But I tell you what I also know

Crash has joined my August 15th 2009 cruise and posted on our thread last night!

I can see us at 82,000 posts by Christmas now with full animation!

Its becoming a bit of a reunion cruise!

very cool.

 

[radioclash2]

All right, I finally caught up.
Santa last night, party tonight, cookies tomorrow.
Have a great week-end everyone.

Cheryl,

.... thank you so kindly for such a nice welcome home! So - in return may I offer an opinion as to how Tom31B ripped and chopped my pie chart image?

All ya do (probably) is right click on the image and save to your computer - probably under a appropriate "misc" folder for this sort of mischief. Then open a garden variety paint program - and open again on the file you just ripped. Now you can use the paint tools to manipulate the image to your hearts' content... or manipulate it was your imagination dictates.

I would assume you might use the dropper to copy the field color of the "box" where you're gonna change the words... then draw a new box precisely OVER the existing box and verbage. Then use the dropper to match the color of lettering by sampling the other boxes' word color. Now use the text insertion tool to position the new words to add. You might want to ensure your text tool bar is open so you can run through the various fonts, sizes and so forth to obtain a good match on letter style, size and fit.

In the same manner you could cut and paste images together to put one persons' face over another image too. But THAT sort of thing can take considerable time to pull off - depending on your production standards and experience.

Once that's all done and you have a finished image - save as - under a new file name. This preserves a copy of the old file in case you want to reuse it or start over on another project. Make certain you are saving it as a JPEG image. This should ensure you can upload it to any host. I use dotphoto - however ... I PAY to use dotphoto as I also use dotphoto to SELL my images for a profit. All sites do not offer this ability. However, I think Tom31 used photobucket to host the most recent pie chart hack. You might want to open a free account there - aqs I assume they have free accounts.

Now once the image is loaded to a host - take a look at the image from the host. Enlarge it to the larger size and right click on the image to obtain the URL. Copy that and - position and paste it on the DIS where you want it. In Tom31s' case he was careful to post his doctored image to MY QUOTED POSTING to make it appear as if "I" had posted that image. Alas, the URL of his image is a dead give-away that it is not (in fact) the same image. <wink>

At any rate... that's ONE way of doing it. In practice the process is pretty fluid and quick. If you look at the time between the original posting and his posting (about 35 minutes) then you can imagine how quickly this can be done. in all likelihood Tom31 probably did it in about 10 minutes or less if he was efficient about it. However, it wold not surprise me if it took 15 or 20 minutes to hack.



So, Cheryl.... there ya have it. Now you should be ready to rip and hack images to YOUR specific needs. I might suggest you be judicious in selecting images that are EASY to manipulate. Practice will tell you a little more of what is easy and complicated to hack.

OK.... back to a few more minutes of ketchup now before I turn in ....

Thanks Crash but I think is way above me(for now at least)!! I think I might go take clsses in the spring!!

Happy Friday. I just found this thread and thought I would introduce myself and say hi.

My name is Heidi and my fiance is Chris. This cruise will be our Honeymoon and I am so excited to be able to go on a 15 day DCL cruise for our Honeymoon. My parents took the last East Repo cruise and loved it, so now I get the chance to go on it. This cruise will be my 7th DCL cruise, and Chris's 3rd DCL cruise.

This thread is a little overwhelming, but I hope to keep up with it and get to know everyone and figure out everything planned.

I am glad you took me up on the invite. I thought name looked familiar. You were on the 10 day Wonder with us!! I remember visiting your fish extender.

So Cheryl, this is a simple explanation, right?
Gotta run..........

 

[captaincrash]

NO WAY !

Lisa....

<tapping impatient shoe tips>

I beg to differ... "I" think I am quite INNNOCENT.

<Chuckles> ​

OK... I gotta go now - busy weekend and I'll not be paying ten bucks for hotel internet access - so I'll be back most likely next week. I guess I'llget kicked around a little more between now and then. Ouch!... that was quick! Well now - it's gettin' pretty tough on this playground...!

TTFN!

Her and her mom did the great CD's of the DCL music!!! Ours is in our car and we listen to it all the time!

 

[A Litle Pixie Dust]

Just a quick hello...I've decided to sit back and have a glass of wine before 40 of my closest (well ok..some of them are close..some of them tag-alongs!) friends and family arrive for a holiday party in 2 hours.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Not that anyone probably needs help but if anyone has any questions about the the Disneyland area..let me know..we live about 10 minutes from there and spend way to much time there!

I am so glad that it worked for you!!! Her DH's family is Jewish but, his mother told me that she didn't care if they married in a church..... I don't know what the reasoning was --- dh and I really try to stay out of our children's *business*. I do know that after him and his brother went through their Bar Mitzvah's the family no long participated in anything religious.
His mother told me that they would do Easter but they really didn't know what people did for Easter. They do Christmas....(but, my atheist MIL & FIL do Christmas!)....

When Dh and I first got married, I wanted to celebrate some of the Jewish holidays as well as the Christian, so I asked my DH what his family did to celebrate Rosh Hashana. He shrugged his shoulders and said "Eat brisket"

Needless to say his mother is quite annoyed with him

Here is the photo of Mickey that John beat with a hammer. It was stuck to the ground after an ice storm.

I have to share a picture of my grandaughter Genevieve from Thanksgiving!!! If anyone asks her name she answers" I am Princess Genevieve," even to Cinderella. There is a Barbie Doll named Princess Genevieve. She wears a crown around the house everyday!!! She just turned 3 but sometimes she talks like 33.
