Testing changes to my monobook.js

This is just ACupOfCoffee logged out. 158.135.14.128 21:00, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Screwed up test, trying again. 158.135.14.128 21:24, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Hey, you're at TMBW, too.

So am I. I am Overjoy there. I heard something about you having the John Linnell demo of "Different Town." I would like to tell you that I've been waitin' a million forevers to hear it. You can e-mail me at firesquadmemories (@) Hotmail.com...thanks in advance! - TheDeathlyPallor

Seamonkey

Yeah, I heard about it way back in some computer magazine. I don't want to download it yet, personally. I'm fine with Mozilla for right now. Just, if it loads faster, PLEASE TELL ME! Bluebry 21:37, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

The speed with which it initially loads isn't much different, but it seems to be slightly faster when it stays in the system tray than Mozilla was. — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 23:10, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Your donation

Just letting you know I finally got around to adding your latest donation to the ledger. Thanks for your support! — Joey (talk·edits) 17:56, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

What about it? — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 00:10, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Maybe it's that you forgot the "User" namespace. Or it's that you added a user to the patrol without letting that user know. I mean, I think that's trolling! --Y2K () 07:20, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

X-Spider2, if you look a little more carefully, you'll see that ACupOfCoffee didn't make that edit, which probably explains his confusion about The thing bringing it up here. -- Tom 13:42, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Oh. Nevermind, then. --Y2K () 23:06, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Animated Images

Hi there Cup 'O Coffee. Since you've sort of spearheaded the image organization, I figured I'd bring this question up with you. I've noticed images like this, this and this are marked with the screenshot template. However they seem to me to be more "animations" than "screenshots". Is there another template that could be made that would clarify under what grounds we reproduce the animation, or does it even fall under "fair use"? Thanks, ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 18:40, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

According to Wikipedia:Screenshot, screenshots aren't necessarily stills, thought they almost always are. However, while looking this up, I found out that we should have been using {{video-screenshot}}for the entire screen of a toon and {{Character-artwork}} for images like the ones on character evolution pages. I've asked for some clarification on this just to make sure that if I go on another image tagging spree, we won't wind up having to revert most of it. — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 22:08, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Aparently, the video tag was created with flash animations in mind, so this is going to be another project. — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 22:34, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Wait, so you are saying pretty much all of the images tagged with {{web-screenshot}} should be changed to {{video-screenshot}}? How come Wikipedia's Template:Video-screenshot defaults to a category called "Screenshots of movies and television"? I see your question and the answer on Template talk:Video-screenshot, but who is this User:Cohesion fellow? Is he like one of Wikipedia's equivilant to our wiki's you? And if the intent of their Template:Video-screenshot was for screenshots of toons like Homestar Runner, why is the cat for it "Screenshots of movies and television"? (I asked this one over there too.) -- Tom 23:33, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Who's in charge?

Saw this [1] and thought to myself, "How does an annony know who the admins are?" (Maybe the admins should wear badges....) - Qermaq - (^T/C)  09:10, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing that out to me. I need to not say that in the future. — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 20:55, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Taggin'?

A few images without templates ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 22:09, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

The GNU head image has copyright info on it, and I think it would be useless to create a template for the Free Art License when its forseeable usage is just that image. The rest are going to need source information before we really know what thier status is. In the future you can always use {{no license}} to put them in the "unknown copyright status" category. It's on my watchlist, so I'll catch it. — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 01:14, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Understandable, would you be able to think of an applicable category to put the GNU image in then, without a template? As for the three personal image images, Dot com made them himself, and he's tagging them now with a copywrite [sic] templates. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 01:31, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Maybe a new one called "Free images"? Then Category:Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0 images, Category:GFDL images, and Category:LGPL images would be subcategories of that one. And the one in question would be the only image directly in it. — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 02:16, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

I've uploaded Image:Copyleft.png and created Template:fal and Category:FAL images. -- Tom 03:59, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

That works too. — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 04:47, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Are you saying...

...that you raised Homsar??!! (Just kidding, just kidding.) --Y2K () 07:41, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Except that I am saying so. I don't remember dropping him. ;) — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 21:42, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Oh, OK. Just wondering, cause it's kinda weird. You know, I mean "raised" as in "My parents raised me as a kid." Also, OMG! You raised Homsar! :D --Y2K () 05:02, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

I meant "raised" that way, too. I was just using the old joke that stupid people are that way because their parents accidentally dropped them as a as a baby and they landed on their head. — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 20:10, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Bet he was annoying...and weird...and hard to deal with. At first, you wanted to put him up for adoption, right? --Y2K () 22:20, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Image optimization

Hey, ACupOfCoffee. I noticed that you optimized Image:Let her rip.png and Image:Single-button remote control.png for the web. For my own future reference when uploading images, what does it take to make an image optimal for the web? Thanks! Trey56 04:32, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

I mostly used the phrase "optimized for web" to vary the edit summary. I was really just re-encoding it as to produce the smallest file size possible. A link to the webpage where I learned how to set my computer up for doing that in two clicks is on my fanstuff user page. — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 05:12, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! Trey56 02:34, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
