Looking for a font named "Olive Oil"

Please?

Feb 22, 2005 3:21 AM by TN Brat! Discussion: Requests

Hey, I was wondering if someone could link me to a font named "Olive Oil"? I have a machine that makes vinyl stickers for cars and things and someone has requested a sign with their website on it to put on her car, but I can't find the font she wants it in...I've asked her to sent it, but she can't figure out how to get it from her font folder...

So, please, anyone? A link to Olive Oil font?
Or if it's ok, to send it to me, at Email

Thanks for your help!

When was the last time you updated your virus protection?

I bet it's been too long...

Feb 1, 2005 8:01 AM by TN Brat! Discussion: Living in Cyberspace

Hey, everyone. I just wanted to remind you all to update your virus software!

About a year ago I got a new computer and it came with Norton Anti Virus and Norton Personal Firewall. Well, I installed them both, but haven't ever done any updating of the virus part, though I use the firewall a lot...came in really handy when I installed Morpheus, because it allowed me to not have to allow access to the "other" software...anyway I've never run a full system scan or done any of the live updates or anything, until I got the email from "Martin" the other day.

Ok, real fast, I'm going to continue to say the email was from Martin even though it isn't actually from him, ok? Just for reference purposes...

So, I had a computer crash a few weeks ago and when I finally got things all up and running I needed to update my Stardock software, so I headed over to the site and clicked in my email address so they could send me information and the links to update things, and there was some sort of problem, so I took a screen shot and sent it to tech support. The thing is the email address Stardock has for me and the email address I sent the screen shot from aren't the same, so I wasn't sure how or where they'd respond, but a day or so later, I got a response, and then right after that I got 2 more emails one from Martin and one from my mail box alias to my primary email address...Now at this point I'm thinking that the one from Martin was actually from him to help with the problem, but it wasn't! Nope, they were spoof emails... both with nasty little attachments, but didn't know it at the time, I clicked on the attachment and saved it right to my desktop....How dumb can one person be? (Yeah, well be nice)

I've never gotten a virus before and thought I was careful enough...I've got Thunderbird set up to filter junk and my ISP also has built in virus protection so I was covered, right? I mean it happens to other people, not me.

Well I was wrong, and my pc started acting really funny and it dawned on me OMG, I just opened a strange file that didn't do anything....I tried to connect to the net with no success, and several of my programs stopped working, so thanks to Windows XP, I ran a System Restore, rebooted and I was back up and running...things were fine and I put it out of my mind??? Am I getting more stupid? I just went on with my business, until I opened my mail box and the same 2 emails appeared again, which is when I deleted them ran Live Update and came here to see if I could reach Martin.

When I posted in the boards Link Hippy informed me it was spoof emails that I was receiving. So at this point I opened Norton and went about the process of updating my software, and thank goodness I did, because tonight I got another...

I use a docklet to preview my email before I open it in Thunderbird, saw that there was another email from Martin, and figured right away it was another spoof...I would have deleted it from my server before I opened Thunderbird using the docklet, but doing that in the past has really messed up my email...it never deletes the right email so like I think I got a permission from Mormegil to release my Toon Tabs, but deleted it and can't get him to respond again...LOL So I didn't want to loose the other emails...I made sure Norton was updated and running and opened Thunderbird.

This link is to a screen shot of what followed...
Linkxxxxx

The point of this?

It CAN happen to me...and YOU. Pay very close attention to the email that you receive. And also wanted to remind everyone to update their virus software...If you don't have any, I recommend Norton, which I would have never done before, because it's never done anything other than annoy me with the constant reminders to update...LOL

Thanks to Hippy for responding to my post and letting me know what the deal was!

To Tiggz

Reguarding GT3 Weather

Jan 27, 2005 11:47 AM by TN Brat! Discussion: Permissions

Ok, well I've tried contacting Tiggz through email, and I'm unsure if he responded, because of my pc crash last week, and because it's been over two weeks since I sent the mail, I thought I'd give this a try...

Tiggz, may I, please,

have permission to re-skin your GT3 Weather Object?

It's just so awesome that it could almost stand alone as an application..and I know it's a DX app, but I mean an appliction like SysMetrix or Rainlendar...

Seriously, I just love it and would like to use it all the time, but it doesn't match very many of the skin suites I use. So, basically I'd just like to change the art.

I may also ask permission to just use the scripts in other DX objects, but for now, permission to re-skin it would just thrill me to death.

As always, I'll, of course, give you full credit, supply the proper links, and send it to you for approval, before upload, if you'd like.

Thanks,
Arlind

Specifically for Martin

Please contact me

Jan 27, 2005 11:24 AM by TN Brat! Discussion: Stardock Support General

As strange as this may sound, Martin, I really need for you to contact me through something ohter than email. Perhaps the note system at Deviant Art? I'm TNBrat there also...and I have you on my watch list there so you can click on people watching you to find me.

I don't mind talking about this here, but not sure you would. To sumerize, though I've gotten an email from you, and one from me to me at the same time today...both had strange attachments...I was asleep at the time, 12:14pm so I know I didn't send the one from me to me...One of the letters read something like "Thank you for using our software" & the other was something like "Read the instructions first"....

I've since had computer problems resulting in 2 restore operations...then a few hours ago, I got the exact same 2 emails again, except for the time.

I'm asking that you NOT email me to discuss this becasue of the issues...

Sorry, for such a strange post, I thought about emailing you, but right now I'm staying away from my email...
Thanks,
TNBrat!

What's up with my watch list?

I can't put anything in it

Jan 27, 2005 1:24 AM by TN Brat! Discussion: WinCustomize Site Issues

Ok, so when I try to watch something, a page opens with several skins by eyeJ on it...and I mean on the left is 10 skins by 00Zero Cool (eyeJ) and the right side has 4 articles that's I've not read... And nothing that I actually added shows up at all.....is it something for subscribers only? If so why do I have that option?

And while I have your attention, I was wondering if there was a way to be able to have more skins per page to show up like before? With the old set up, when browsing the libraries I could choose the # of skins per page...I prefer to have as many as I can...the choice for like at least 50 would be really nice....

Though that page may take longer to load, since I use Firefox, I can scroll down as the skins load and middle-click on the ones I want to load in the background, so to me it more inconvient to have to "next page" it...

And also would you guys consider putting all of "My Skins" on one page? The old way opened up one long page which made it easier to see if there were any nre comments....and though I dont have that many skins here at this time, I'm continuing to upload so right now I only have to look at 2 pages, but that's a pain, but I hate to miss commets. I think they would be better all on the same page....

And again, some may say that it takes the page longer to load with one long page, but in the end it's the same..either waiting for one long page to load or having to wait for several pages to load don't you think?

I forgot and they aren't there?

Jan 25, 2005 2:02 AM by TN Brat! Discussion: WinCustomize Site Issues

Ok, so I know this may sound strange but I honestly forgot if I submitted a set of icons to the Misc Icon section. I checked the awating mod and they aren't there...and I've not heard anything about them through email...
If they were rejected that's ok...the thing is that I really can't remember if I uploaded them here or not...

I thought about just uploading them...but if I have already uploaded them, and they were rejected I didn't want to irritate anyone by uploading them again...because there has been several times that I've uploaded something that has just disappeared without a rejection letter..not only walls, but other things too...

I guess it's rather normal for a wallpaper to be rejected without an email, right...but I read somewhere that it shouldn't happen with anything else...

Anyway, could a Mod please check if someone has seen and or rejected a set of Valentines Image File Type Icons? I would have uploaded them to the Misc Icons sections...There is already the same set in the Dock Icons section, so I'm talking about the icon version.

Again, I'm sorry...I really forgot...
Thanks!

Question about icon formats

How many should I make

Jan 18, 2005 3:49 AM by TN Brat! Discussion: Icons

Hi, uh, I need a little help with 2 things, if you guys don't mind...
First, I was wondering how many icon formats should I include when making icons? I'm sure a lot of it's a matter of personal preference, but I'm just looking for idea of what should at least be included? Right now, on the set that I'm working on I have 21 formats...which is like every size and then 128XP, 256 Colors, and True Color...so is that like too much?

And second, I was wondering about the Dock Icons (PNGS) VS. Misc. Icons? Ive finished a small pack of Valentine's Image File Types, and of course they are in PNG format....My plan, when I started these was to upload them to the Dock Icons section, but since there is now the Misc Icons, should I do both? Ive noticed that several people are uploading the same image to both sections, except for the file type (.png & .ico)...To me that seems like a waste of space...

Like when I download a set of dock icons that included both .png and .ico format, I delete the icons, and keep the pngs, and then if I need one of them as an icon, I just make it for myself...because most of the time I won't use very many of them as icons....with me? BUT then considering that Object Dock and the other application launcher utilities accept .pngs as well as .ico format, then to be honest, uploading the .pngs are more of a waste, right?

Cause it's like the .png images can only be used in a few places like DesktopX, Object Dock...stuff like that, but when it comes to your computer system you need the images as icons...and they can be used everywhere...pretty much.

So, should I make just the icons...then they can be used anywhere?
And if so, what formats?
Or should I go ahead and upload the .pngs to the Dock Icons section then make the icons and upload them to the Misc Icon section?

Here's the link to the pngs I'm refering to at Deviant Art, I'm going to upload them to here but I wanted to get you thoughts on where to put what?

Why am I not permitted to rate skins that I port?

Nov 2, 2004 3:50 PM by TN Brat! Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Today I received an email saying

Thank you for your recent upload of your CP38 BeatNik for Beatnik.
Just a heads up.....collaborative efforts preclude you from rating your
partner's works.....it's the equivalent of rating your own, and therefore cheating.
I have removed any that I have noticed to date...and will continue to watch
these submissions.

Truth be told, he is NOT my partner. Though I have made several ports of his skins! I don't make the WindowBlinds, Rainlendars, Sysmetrix....etc. I don't make any of the images he uses....As a matter of fact he make ALL the images I use....I even request specific images when I need them. He sends me .psd files....I don't send him any...so how does this make my PORTS any different from anyone elses' ports?

So, if they are going to remove the ratings to the skins of Pinchecl's that I PORT then they should remove the ratings of the skins other people port....

I made a ports of Obdisian Order and rated it, Marcintesh OS-W, Outlook RB, K-Tek Steel, and several others too....then any ratings I gave them should be removed. Also, I know that some of those authors rated my skins, so you should fix that too. And while you're at it, you should remove any ratings they did on any other ports of their work! Oh, and as long as your so worried about it, also remove the ratings of the person that ported the skin, because I'm sure they rated the original too

First I'm not permitted to upload a Suite file that contained some of Pinchecl's skins in the suite file itself..instead of being linked...ok fine even though I have permission from him to do so, but now I can't rate his work, because he's my partner....Ok...IF he's my partner, then I own half of his work....which I do NOT, and should be permitted to upload the Suite files.....I mean it's at least half mine right?

Does that make me partners with CaveBear too? I've ported Lila, and Dream Rain and am in the process of doing more Dream Rain skins as well as Blue Lagoon??

Please, help me understand this....
And let me make it clear, that I only port Pinchecl's skins....
He really makes ALL the skins himself...
I do other ports while I'm waiting on a new set from him....I don't actually help him make the skins in any way....My contributions to HIS skins...when he's doing a new set is strictly testing and suggesting...I know that plenty of author's have people they always use to test, right?? Well, I can honestly say that until PINCHECL makes the skin and sends it to me to test I have no hand in making them....and several times I have to download the skins from here to get them....

And while I would love to actually have the artistic ability to make images and skins from scratch, I don't....that's why MOST of my skins are PORTS. Pinchecl's included. I have always said that he was the artist....and that I have NOTHING to do with the most important part of making the skins...

Where can I find an OLD versio of Logon Studio?

Aug 26, 2004 1:37 AM by TN Brat! Discussion: Skinning

Hi, I have version 1.0.64, but I would really, really like the older version.
I would like to have the version used to create the Gloss Logons by Pixel Pirate, K-Tek Steel Blue by Triggz, Spiderman by Apocayypse_67, and DogmaX by Brewman.
I've been making a few logons and I sure would like to switch the style up a little!!! The version I have is rather limited, and when I loaded the ones I named above, Logon Studio, said that they were all made with an older version.....
If someone couls PLEASE point me in the right direction of the old version that it's refering to, I would be sooo happy!! Please!!!
Thanks guys,
Arlinda
