Neat! I noticed a Mario on a Yellow Yoshi before, but I never really paid to much attention...
I wonder wha other date-activated features are in LM?

I remember seeing someone on TechTV (on the screensavers i think) that build an NES PC or two... Let me search for it...
http://www.techtv.com/screensavers/howto/story/0,24330,3450815,00.html

http://www.junkmachine.com/nintendo/

The first is the Screensavers Story, the second is the tutorial.

ahem... TADA! My new layout! I just hope Tripod doesn't get stupid again and you can see it... if not... check it out here...

http://members.tripod.com/jeffreymr/board/bg.txt
(Rename to JPG)
For those interested (I'm guessing very few) I used:
+ Nullsoft AVS 2.80
+ Adobe Photoshop 7
+ Microsoft Frontpage 2000

And now, just like all my other layouts, I have to check if the scrollbar works... You think I'd just right down the html somewhere instead of starting from scratch everytime, but NO! I have to be stupid!

When I design images, I use BMP ONLY if I plan to print the image. I burn a lot of CDs, and go all out with the labels. Right now I've got 50 megs of BMP sitting on the harddrive waiting for my new printer....

Posted on 03-18-04 07:44 AM, in spam mail annoyance Link
Using Outlook Express, eh? Try Cloudmark Spamnet:
http://www.cloudmark.com/products/spamnet/download/. It's not free, but it works REALLY well. It's like a P2P spam-blocking network. If you block an email, it will be added to a database, which will be used to help block other's spam. It all gets tucked away into a SPAM folder, which you can sift through and delete accordingly...
It's not free anymore, but you can get a 30 day trial... Maybe if you like it, you will crack buy it. Or maybe you can search for the beta version, which was free. I installed it on a friends PC once.

EDIT: I got all those "Re: Your (fill in the blank)" emails once. Thank God for Norton. It's good for something.

Okay, I get the point... this layout was not the way to go... I'll get working on a new one soon...
I'll:
+choose a not-so-bright, lower contrast image...
+make it smaller height-wise. I thought it was good while I was making it, but it ain't as good when it's in here... It's 606x500 now, I'm try 606x300 or 350.
+AVOID THE DREADED SCROLLBAR!
+do any other things you suggest. Any advice would be helpful at this point.

EDIT: Maybe I'll try a metal block layout, similar to what my User Pic is. I'll add bolts and stuff to spice it up.

Alrighty then, here's my 2nd new layout!
This time, I did still use the scrollbar, but now I use a smaller font. Meaning the scrollbar will not be used as often. (I still need to test it.)
Can someone test this layout in Mozilla/Netscape/Non-IE brower so I know it works properly? Thanks in advance.

Is this Valid code? I don't know, hence the reason I wanted it to be tested.... If it doesn't work this time, can someone suggest an alternative to a scrollbar? Preferable one that doesn't limit the layout?

Surverus: Thanks for the praise!
Geno: Thanks for the praise as well! I might change the blue bar to a silver or gold bar. And I think the rainbow background might be used in my next wallpaper collection...

I took Geno's suggestion, and now I have a metal gradient bar made with my nifty metal texture (might I add simple and homemade)... I must thank you for your idea!

So now I know it works in most browsers! Thanks guys!

EDIT: Fixed width issue...
EDIT2: CRAP! I made it worse.... try again!

I would like to see an editor for this game as well... However, my rom must be corrupt, as it freezes at the end of world scorecard... I guess I'll DL a new one later...

Luigi: It should be fixed now...
Acmlm: I just resized the text cell, and did a trial and error in IE/Frontpage....
FreeDOS: Good? Only Good? Just kidding! Thanks for the compliment!
EDIT: Fixed scrollbar colors... apparently I forgot an option, and the color of the main IE scrollbar would be used...

Posted on 03-30-04 04:35 AM, in TWAIN items (Webcam) in VB 6 Link
For the local science fair this year, I'm doing a computer-controlled/automated greenhouse model using VB6 and a PC Gadget Master II kit. I would like to know if it is possible to view a live feed (or pics every 5-10 secs) from a USB Webcam (A Logitech Quickcam Express). If it is possible, what kind of program/module/etc would I need to have? If anyone can suggest such a file (preferably FREE), it would be GREATLY appreciated!

Posted on 04-23-04 04:53 AM, in Good PC DVD program? (free, if possible) Link
I'd recommend Cyberlink PowerDVD XP. Unfortunatly, it's not free, but there is a free trial. It does have a working screen capture feature.
I believe it outputs full resolution BMPs, but not quite sure. It's been a while since I last used it...

And another good feature too... you can load IFOs and VOBs straight from the hard-disk! Excellent for testing DVDs before you burn them... it saved me a couple of DVD+Rs!

Are there any good ( and free ) Macromedia Flash (swf) to AVI converters? I've tried Magic SWF2AVI trial, but it didn't work for me.

I'm trying to convert Trooperclerks (part 1 & 2), a Kevin Smith/Star Wars Parody.

Posted on 04-23-04 05:03 AM, in DVD Aspect Ratios and MPEG2 Encoding Link
I know this is two threads in a row...

I recently got a new PC (YAY!) with a DVD+/- Burner. I have made some attemps at burning downloaded videos, but I'm having a problem... ASPECT RATIOS.

To encode the video, i use TMPGEnc Plus, using the NTSC 16:9 preset. (Most of my downloaded AVIs are Widescreen). I set the arrangement setting to whatever looks best in the preview window, but when I actually try to play the encoded files, they are either squat or stretched vertically! Can anyone help me?
Thanks
EDIT: I'm also having trouble with certain AVIs. According to VirtualDub, they have a few Bad Frames. Is there any way to fix this WITHOUT redownloading the file... (i'm still on dialup, and downloading movies at school is really hard, theyr'e deleted several times a month)

Posted on 04-25-04 11:34 PM, in SWF (Macromedia Flash) to AVI Converters? Link
Thanks! I'll try this out!

EDIT: Um, I can't open the SWF file in Flash MX... And Magic SWF2AVI crashes when exporting a TGA sequence... and besides, what about audio?

Anyone else know a good WORKING way to convert SWF to AVI?

This would work, however, none of the aspect ratios match the video i'm encoding... it's 2.37:1 (528x222). The closest option in TMPGEnc is 2.11:1. I guess I'll just center the video and use a custom size (720x303). It's not exactly the same aspect ratio, but it's fairly close. I just hope it will look alright on my DVD player...

I'm leaning towards YES, but I'd like to see some screenshots before I make a decision.
