The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!

Posted on 12/17/2002 7:32:02 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Journey to the Cross-roads

The Two Towers Edition

Come on! Come in! -if you would like to have some seedcakes and a pint and relax a while. (If it is a special occasion, we still have a few bottles of the old wineyards left!)

Our first thread ( New Zealander builds Hobbit hole ) reached 4,100 posts, and we thought that was big. Our second thread (The New Hobbit Hole ) held us for over 48,000 posts, and we loved it dearly. We talked about moving to a new thread for the last 38,000 posts, but we are really slow to muster! Finally, the time has come. Tomorrow (at 12:01 am, to be precise!) The Two Towers comes out, and we start a new chapter.

That's good! I have about half the contributors that I know have received a letter, and a few that I don't know. I am waiting to hear who didn't, then I'm going to print him up a copy of everyone's address...I have them all on file.

Gotcha.

He asked me to make sure he had all the addresses. I've tried to keep up with it all too, but I'm worried I've missed someone as well. I don't think so, though.

Good news and
Question

From work, I got the almost new Inspiron 8200 that we had gotten for my co-worker who taught animation. He quit, I got the cool computer. I like it. There is even lots of software on here that I need to learn to use.

Question is: there is no literature - he kind of got $crewed on the job so I really can't say I blame the guy, but can I get some simple instructions for this computer off the dell website? I had trouble with things like what to plug where and I still haven't gotten it to work on the battery so I just need something to point the blind woman in the right direction.

And, can I plug a freakin' mouse in this thing? This touch pad doohicky is exasperating and I keep reaching to the side for a mouse!

Oh, and copying and pasting that text to Corin a second ago was from the torture chamber.

Ok, I noted it. There was only one person that shouldn't have gotten one, and that was because they just donated right before the last packages went out... Their address was included in this last package and I noted it to the Chaplain that this was a new contributor.

I'm leaving for the day. It looks VERY nasty outside! The sky is that weird overcast with orange tinged clouds. Ugh!

I hope to beat the rain to my truck!! Bye everyone!

Ignor the mouse question. There is now a rodent attached to this notebook! I am much happier!

This is getting funner by the minute.

Oh sure, make it all Corin's fault...usually is.

Bear and Rose can answer better than I. But you should be able to connect a mouse.

Got the mouse.

Know anything about the programs Maya, Premier, Bryce, Studio Max (I know Studio Viz). And there's something on here called - hate to say it - Fruitypro. And Blindwrite and blindread. Several things appear to be games. What's DVDCutter Stream? Mastermind? any of this stuff familiar to anybody?

Stinkin' mouse wheel don't work.

(nite Ruthy!)

Okay. Gotta run. Jr. has a makeup baseball game scheduled at 6:00 p.m. And the sun is actually out so they can play. Guess we're lucky that the 8th grade movie trip wasn't tonite instead of today or we'd be forfeiting another game...

Let it go, Corin. Let it go...

See y'all later.

Can any of ya'll point me to that Gollum video clip from whatever those awards were? Ya'll were talking about it the other day but my computer here at home wouldn't ever complete the download and I'm not sure I have the software to run it. I think I can do it on this one.

But, I need to find the clip once again. Is it at theonering?

Received a letter from the chaplain, so am supposing all must be in order?

Thanks, 2J, it's a great thing you've made it possible for us to participate in.

See you Corin.

Heard today at figure drawing class that the son of the students just went to his first prom - he's in 7th grade.

I ran the clip from the MTV web site. I don't use Quicktime so I couldn't use the links Hair posted. (Quicktime did evil things to my old computer).

I'm really gone now (Today was not the day for someone to ping me to an anti-Harry Potter thread...)

Yes, all is well. He just doesn't want to neglect sending to anyone and I needed to do a little maintenance anyway. I have my list all spiffed up now.
