Curious as to what your issue is with [[User:Color Printer/Pop]]. According to [[HRWiki:User space#What about user subpages?|our policy]], it's OK to have a subpage for "a work in progress, until it is ready to be released". I saw no evidence of a user template there. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 01:44, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

:Haha, thanks. I'm not really collecting that much as of late. It was just kinda a coincidental blitz time. My next big purchases are gonna be the SBE Disk 4, EE Disk 1, and Figurines 1 & CC. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 00:22, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

:::Sorry, it wasn't a big deal or anything. I have no problem with a similar communial template, I actually like the idea of it. But that template as a user subpage had no reason to be nested, when the contents could easily just be duplicated at the top. Hope I didn't offend anyone. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 05:06, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Wow, Thunderbird L17. [http://staff.x10hosting.com/suspended.page/?title=User:Thunderbird_L17 This page] you linked to is quite condensed. So much so, that it doesn't have anything about you on it. Is it new news that the account is suspended? &mdash; {{User:Lapper/sig}} 22:18, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

== Hey dude, I am going away ==

:That's news to me. But my link on my userpage still works fine. My link goes [http://www.kilroy.x10hosting.com/index.php?title=User:Thunderbird_L17 here], and it seems as though I can still view and edit it just fine. How exactly did you come up with your link? I'll look into it a bit in the meantime. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 00:03, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Hey Thunderbird, I am offically leaving this Wiki. You were the sysop who helped me out the most, so I thought I would tell you I am going away. Thanks for what you do for the Wiki man. Not just you, but everyone else. I remember the one good thing I did on the Wiki, and that was helping Has Matt? stop a troll. Adios everyone! [[User:Beat|Beat]] 01:49, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Hey there, I'm writing these thoughts here instead of on El Coolio von der Pollo Loco's page because we're getting a bit off the original topic there. But I did want to respond to your comments, so here goes. Re: Hebrew&mdash; My dad went to seminary, so he learnt both Hebrew and Greek for the sake of reading the Bible in the original languages. I also learnt Greek in high school, although never that well. But I still have a Greek New Testament and I try to read it every once in a while. Learning Greek also helped me with German a lot because I got used to using cases like ''Akkusativ'' and ''Nominativ''. Re: Korean&mdash; I have a friend in military intelligence in the US army who's learning Korean. He tells me it's ''really'' hard to actually learn it. He used to be afraid he'd fail out of school, but I think he's improving and is less concerned about it now. As for me, I started my French reading knowledge class today. ''That'' could be interesting. It's just so different from German. Anyway, this has been a long comment, so I'll wrap up now. Talk atcha later! {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 07:21, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
+
== Huh-whaa?? ==
-
:Well I won't be learning Korean then, thanks. :) That's cool you're learning French. You should move up to Canada, every label is bi-lingual up here, weather you like it or not. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 00:14, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
+
Did you catch a raven, or is no longer important to you to do so? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:20, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
-
::Or come to Israel, where every label is '''tri'''-lingual! Hebrew, Arabic and English. Here's a [http://blog.lib.umn.edu/archives/mill1974/EGAD/images/Israel04/jeru_directions.jpg street sign] to compare. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 04:54, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
+
:Haha. Well originally my task was to "Get a Danish", then later to "Catch a Raven", but at this point in my life I've decided to change my priorities, and simply wait for come what may. Perhaps one day I'll throw one of those tasks back up there, already crossed off, or perhaps even a different but similar one, but for now that kind of goal is no longer in my immediate sights. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 03:26, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
 +
::I can understand giving up on a raven, but a Danish? Come on, this is accomplishable! Don't quit on that! What message are you sending to the UM-13's? You can't do what's in your reach? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:30, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
 +
:::I haven't given up. Though I do plan on someday getting a danish, a raven, or something similar, I'm not actively pursuing such a goal at this time. One day, definently. If I were presented a danish, a raven, or something else tomorrow, I'd seriously consider accepting it. But for the time being the pursuit of such has been pushed to the back of my priorities. It's not that its not accomplishable, I've just re-considered my future goals. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 03:36, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

::::'''Update:''' I did end up catching my Raven. :) {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:48, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

:::Yeah, I've heard about Canada's bilingualism. Actually, we're starting to see those English-French labels in the US a bit on various items you buy in stores. And on [[Heavy Lourde]]s. (I hear it's because of NAFTA or something.) And then, of course, California is becoming more and more bilingual every day what with all the Spanish-speakers we have around here. I actually had as interesting experience earlier tonight: I went to Cucca's, a wonderful taqueria here in SB, and asked if I could charge my order. The employee didn't know what it meant to charge something and had to ask one of her coworkers in Spanish what I meant. (Perhaps using the word "credit card" would have been helpful on my part.) But I digress... E.L. Cool: English, Hebrew and Arabic... ''that'' sounds fascinating. I'll have to come to Israel someday and see that. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 07:10, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

::::It's sometihng to see graphic deigners design a bag of potato chips with three tables of nutritional facts at the back of it. In three languages. Which two of them is writen from right to left and one the other way around. And don't you forget the informative pieces of paper in drugs: When to take, how, all of it tri-lingual. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 07:43, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

-
:::::Probably the most annoying thing about it is whenever you try to buy something like a boardgame, everything printed on the cards are in the two languages, which makes the font half the size, and it just bugs me, something you keep forever with a language on it that you'd rarely use on the West Coast. Luckily I live 5 minutes from the boarder, so I usually just pop down to bellingham in the states and buy any boardgames and the like from there. And although we're bi-lingual with all the products, our street signs aren't. Only the stop signs at the boarder crossing for some reason are in English and French, because I guess they have to be. In parts of Vancouver though, some of the signs are bi-lingual between English and Punjabi, or English and chinese, etc, depending what part of it you're in. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 13:24, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

::::::That sounds fascinating. Man, I haven't been in Canada since I was, like, ten or something. And we even have a theory conference in Vancouver this year, but I can't imagine that I'll be able to afford to make it there. Oh, well. I'll still have to try to get to Canada again sometime. Oh, and I find it interesting that you mention coming to Bellingham, because my aunt used to live there. Now she lives even closer to the Canadian border, in a town called Lynden (maybe you know where that is, too, since I'm thinking it has to be pretty close to you?) Anyway, talk atcha later! {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:52, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

:::::::Yeah, I heard of Lynden. Given the chance, you should totally come to Vancouver sometime. It's a great place. We have had a near record 35 straight days of [http://www.theweathernetwork.com/weather/cities/can/pages/CABC0323.htm rain] of course, but don't let that discourage you. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 06:06, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

::::::::Ech. Talking about rain is no way to get me to visit a city. That's what I despised about  living in Oregon. But I imagine it's fine in the summer, much like in Oregon. I can't imagine I'll be in Vancouver anytime soon, unless I do manage to make the conference this year. But I definitely want to head there sometime.

:::<nowiki>*</nowiki>Sigh*, I suppose I'll re-make it bigger then. In my experance, resizing a scanned printed message usually makes it choppy or pixely, so I was going for "actual size".

::::Well, if it's handwritten and scanned, probably the best thing to do would be to just scan it again... Find some resolution setting in the scanning software and knock that up a couple of notches... Your average screen is around 72 or 96 DPI, for printing you generally want something in the order of 300... give or take a factor of 2, depending on the quality you're after.

Hi, T-bird. You're back! At least it appears that way... or perhaps you never left? Anyway, I'm posting a message to you here in the hopes you'll find it.

I also would like to thank you (four years belated) for the Flashforward 2006 Seattle CD you sent me. Have a great one! {{User:The Paper/sig}} 07:24, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

:Yes, I received it, thanks. I actually never left, I've still been here to check the new toon every week, I just haven't been contributing much, because all the things I wanted to do and projects I wanted to spearhead have been done, and I no longer feel my touch is needed on certain things or projects to get them just right. Since my lapse in contributing, everything has been running quite nicely, confirming my feelings of not being indispensable<!--I know that's a double negative, and it would be simpler to just say "dispensable", but it just sounds like it would mean something different than what I'm trying to convey-->. I felt adding the first new toon in the longest hiatus ever to my previous pet project of [[H*R.com updates 2010|H*R.com updates]] was a fitting contribution I'd be proud to make. Also getting terribly busy with life, between work and school and wife and other commitments was also a motivating factor of cutting back my wiki time. Keep rocking on though, I'll still be around as long as Homestar is. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 19:13, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

I see you were in Dallas once (3 hours) but still, were you just at an airport, or like, did you go somewhere?

:Hmm... I'm not quite sure. For some reason, it was a stopover from New York to Seattle (don't ask me why I was routed through Dallas, I agree it's a bit out of the way), and as such I didn't leave the airport for the 3 hours I was there. I don't recall the name "Love Field", it could have been DFW, but I'd be more certain if I knew what DFW stands for. It was a big one at least. Texas is on my mental list of places to go in America though, I've sorta half checked it off, but It'd be nice to actually roam around there. That, Florida, and Georgia are pretty much the only states left that I really want to see sometime.

Hey, what's with that Wiki Story link on your userpage that links to a nonexistant Fanstuff Wiki page? Some sorta fanstuff you plan on making? - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 03:06, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

:That link I created a month or so ago, directing to an informal story that generated during a chat on the IRC channel. That story was, and is still stored [http://www.kilroy.x10hosting.com/index.php?title=User:Thunderbird_L17/Wiki_Story here], at the "Powered By The Kilory" wiki, since it's a bit questionable to put something that "Fanstuffy" on the HRWiki. But the PBTK wiki has been running pretty slow, off and on, so at the time I thought of moving my guestbook to the less formal "Fanstuff Wiki", I also decided to switch that link to a link to the story at the HRFWiki. However, I wasn't able to access my only copy at the PBTK wiki, since it was kinda struggling all day. But now it's seemed to recover, and I was able to grab the code from there. So to answer your question simply: Yes, the story's there now. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 05:04, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

:::Hmm... Well I'm not really trying to put it up as part of my work or anything, it's just a funny thing that happened, and I'm hoping to just put it somewhere and link to it. I was gonna just put it here, but since the HRWiki has somewhat high standards for what is allowed, I figured the Fanstuff Wiki would be a safer bet. I really don't care where it goes, I just want it someplace stable. But if it's not allowed at the Fanstuff Wiki, I'll move it on over to the link you provided.

:Here's the basic rules for creating your own Welcome message (if you so choose):

-
 
+
-
:#Create a subpage like "User:Seriously/Welcome".
+
-
:#Type <nowiki>{{{1}}}</nowiki> where ever you want your sig to appear. If you don't want your signature and datestamp at the same place, put {{{2}}} wherever you want your datestamp.
+
-
:#When you welcome someone, type <nowiki>{{subst:User:Seriously/Welcome|~~~~}}. If your sig and datestamp aren't together, instead of |~~~~}}, type |~~~|~~~~}}</nowiki>
+
-
:#Make sure you type "subst" first! Otherwise when they try to reply to your welcome, instead of your message they'll just see <nowiki>{{User:Seriously/Welcome|~~~~}}</nowiki>
+
-
:#If you want to ignore the whole <nowiki>{{{1}}}</nowiki> thing, you can always just make a welcome message without your sig incorperated into it, and just sign your template, like so: <nowiki>{{User:Seriously/Welcome}}~~~~</nowiki>

I did a minor fix or two on the template, it should work a bit better now. just type:
+
-
 
+
-
<nowiki>{{User:Seriously/welcome|~~~|~~~~~}}
+
-
 
+
-
Or if you want to take the datestamp right out of the template, just delete the "{{{2}}}", and type this instead:
+
-
 
+
-
{{User:Seriously/welcome|~~~}}</nowiki>

[edit] Pop

Curious as to what your issue is with User:Color Printer/Pop. According to our policy, it's OK to have a subpage for "a work in progress, until it is ready to be released". I saw no evidence of a user template there. - Qermaq - (T/C) Image:Qermaqsigpic.png 01:44, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I included User:Color Printer/Project in there. Sorry, I didn't know I was doing something wrong. --Color Printer 01:45, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
I see it now. Actually, that might not be a bad idea for a wiki template for use by any user... hmm... - Qermaq - (T/C) Image:Qermaqsigpic.png 01:46, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
Sorry, it wasn't a big deal or anything. I have no problem with a similar communial template, I actually like the idea of it. But that template as a user subpage had no reason to be nested, when the contents could easily just be duplicated at the top. Hope I didn't offend anyone. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 05:06, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hey dude, I am going away

Hey Thunderbird, I am offically leaving this Wiki. You were the sysop who helped me out the most, so I thought I would tell you I am going away. Thanks for what you do for the Wiki man. Not just you, but everyone else. I remember the one good thing I did on the Wiki, and that was helping Has Matt? stop a troll. Adios everyone! Beat 01:49, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

No problem. Though it seems you've been pretty inactive since March, so it looks like there won't really be much of an immediate change in your presence here. In any case, glad that I could help. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 23:36, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Huh-whaa??

Did you catch a raven, or is no longer important to you to do so? - Qermaq - (T/C) Image:Qermaqsigpic.png 03:20, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Haha. Well originally my task was to "Get a Danish", then later to "Catch a Raven", but at this point in my life I've decided to change my priorities, and simply wait for come what may. Perhaps one day I'll throw one of those tasks back up there, already crossed off, or perhaps even a different but similar one, but for now that kind of goal is no longer in my immediate sights. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 03:26, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
I can understand giving up on a raven, but a Danish? Come on, this is accomplishable! Don't quit on that! What message are you sending to the UM-13's? You can't do what's in your reach? - Qermaq - (T/C) Image:Qermaqsigpic.png 03:30, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
I haven't given up. Though I do plan on someday getting a danish, a raven, or something similar, I'm not actively pursuing such a goal at this time. One day, definently. If I were presented a danish, a raven, or something else tomorrow, I'd seriously consider accepting it. But for the time being the pursuit of such has been pushed to the back of my priorities. It's not that its not accomplishable, I've just re-considered my future goals. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 03:36, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
Update: I did end up catching my Raven. :) ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 21:48, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Not done and not done

I didn't want to litter IRF's page with talkage, but your birthday wish is barely readably on a computer screen. The image is too small and the color is a bit faded. It's your birthday wish, but I'm just pointing out. — Elcool (talk)(contribs) 22:04, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Hmmm... Seems to be fine on my computer. I thought images were more or less universal for size and quality from the source, but I could be totally wrong on that. Perhaps I'll ask IRF, since he's the only one who really needs a solid copy-and-paste of the image anyways. Thanks for the heads up! ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 22:08, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
Images that are small on a monitor (especially if they contain fine lines) almost never look good in printed form. That's been my experience as a printer. — It's dot com 22:11, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi, no probalo. — Elcool (talk)(contribs) 22:12, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
*Sigh*, I suppose I'll re-make it bigger then. In my experance, resizing a scanned printed message usually makes it choppy or pixely, so I was going for "actual size". Would you reccomend a larger printing size, thicker tip, etc? ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 22:15, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
Well, if it's handwritten and scanned, probably the best thing to do would be to just scan it again... Find some resolution setting in the scanning software and knock that up a couple of notches... Your average screen is around 72 or 96 DPI, for printing you generally want something in the order of 300... give or take a factor of 2, depending on the quality you're after. My signature was only about 3cm long on paper, but it's a hires scan. --phlip TC 03:16, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

It seems that you were sorely mis-lead on that, since while I have welcomed a fair number of new users in the past, I've only ever used the standard {{subst:welcome|~~~|~~~~~}} template, which in my opinion is all you ever need to use anyways.

Hi, T-bird. You're back! At least it appears that way... or perhaps you never left? Anyway, I'm posting a message to you here in the hopes you'll find it. Long ago I meant to ask if you ever received the DVD I sent you of the NYU Talk. It probably arrived safely, but I never knew for sure.

Yes, I received it, thanks. I actually never left, I've still been here to check the new toon every week, I just haven't been contributing much, because all the things I wanted to do and projects I wanted to spearhead have been done, and I no longer feel my touch is needed on certain things or projects to get them just right. Since my lapse in contributing, everything has been running quite nicely, confirming my feelings of not being indispensable. I felt adding the first new toon in the longest hiatus ever to my previous pet project of H*R.com updates was a fitting contribution I'd be proud to make. Also getting terribly busy with life, between work and school and wife and other commitments was also a motivating factor of cutting back my wiki time. Keep rocking on though, I'll still be around as long as Homestar is. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 19:13, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
