Note to self:  get several feet of rope, A real DG3, A modded Gameboy, a fancy wristwatch, a tuxedo, and matching
black clothes.

Next year, Land on the roof of the E3 building with the DG3, scale down the building with the rope in the black
clothes. use super-cool kung fu on the back door guards, hide them, ditch the black clothes, revealing the tuxedo, and
get to where the party is. Upon the passing of a few hours, the stopwatch will beep, acknowleging the fact
that the guards have been found and I need to escape. Use the modded gameboy to trigger a fire alarm, causing
mass panic.  when outside, use the gameboy as a remote control, allowing the DG3 to pick me up, just seconds
before the guards catch up to me.


repeat process every day until E3 ends.

(look for me next year)

Hehe... solid plan!  ...but actually, it's not really as tough as it seems to get in.  If you Pre-Register early as a
professioal before april 9 like as it explains here:  http://www.e3expo.com/e3expo/registration/
..and have a business card with your name on it that even Hints at computers, you can skip the 'send-in-credentials'
and do a walk-in, wait in the badge line, and they'll more than likely issue you a Free badge if you have ID to go
along with your business card.   (as long as your name is in their pre-register list).

I wish It wasn't the last day today.. I woulda been happy to give you my badge to get in for the rest of the week!

Don't worry too much about it. I live in chicago. a bit far from LA, but I'll go there someday. Thanks for the advice
though. I might just try it out someday.


*starts mass-producing business cards.

Ok, just a few notes:
On the subject of freespace2dotcom's picture: Gaaaaaaaaaahhhh!
On the subject of Harmsway, he has pictures all over his website.
And on the subject of Michi, I believe Michi emailed a picture to Dan (I read old threads ), perhaps we could finally
see that one?

[UAF_Lt_Brenton]

Update: Canadave has apparently been sent the pic also
I wonder whether this forum is ever going to see it...or is it going to fade away into Orbiter legend?.......Not if I can
help it...

yeah... Michi!   Send us a Picture, you Helpful little Mynx!~  

(okay.. i'm almost certain Gene or Michi will never read this thread, but it was fun trying. )

hehe.

Although I am tickled by the thought of having so many people (world wide) that wish to know what I look
like ... I have been very selective with whom I have sent my pictures to. And in the past 2 year I have only
ever called one person that I met on the internet on the phone, And it was a relatively short call, as I was nervous as
all can be.

I am far more shy in real life than I am online  But I guess thats the same with most of us. *giggle*

Bad experiences in the past have required that I separate my Real Life and the Internet friends I have made. Cause
3.5 Years ago " Worlds Collided "  [Stalker]

Due to the sensitive nature of the past event in question, I must decline publicly posting my picture on the web.

Maybe in the future I will dare to post my picture.. But for now I don't yet feel comfy enough to um "expose myself" to
everyone. hehe (Dan and Gene know what I mean when I say that)

[McBrain]

Hey, Dan!! I saw the pictures of you in the airplane! Do you have a pilot's license???

yeah, yeah, I think that's quite fine. I merely had a convient one where I had my face covered. ('cuz I'm so shy.) but
alas, the free hosting policy I have forbids remote linking, meaning that my pic showed a nasty evil "you can't do this
message." so I suspect my sigi will die of the same fate until I get a better hosting deal. I'd never give out me phone
number, but I've no qualms about mentioning where I live because I convenintly live in the same place as a couple
other million people. all in all, do as you wish.

To answer your question krytom, I got my sigi when you weren't looking.

I totally understand Michi. Perhaps we should make a private gallery. But then again, who would be members and
how would you determine membership worthiness.. nah, just forget it.

Hehe, in my case Freespace, the host actually lets me protect myself TOO much. I activated the hotlink proteciton, to
prevent people referencing stuff from my site, now even I can't do that (logically), unless I just deactivate the whole
thing. Funny enough, there is a file that is supposed to process exception URLs but it seems to be ignored

Cheers,

[UAF_Lt_Brenton]

hmmm yes, maybe a private gallery would work, here's how:

Guest goes online, tries to access private gallery.  They get a "you must log in" message.
Guest registers for the forum.  They try again, no luck.
Regular, genuine legit member (me) tries to access, no luck.
Said member contacts Dan via online message to be given permission for private gallery.
Dan checks post count, if >10 he then checks nature of posted messages.
If all checks out, Dan then activates said member's account for private gallery.
Said member then goes to private gallery, logs in successfully.
The rest isn't up to me.

[DanSteph]

Good idea, I suppose that a post that will show himself only for members
that have >15 posts is possible...

Dan

[DocHoliday]

Well, it gets more complicated than that. You all heard/read what Michi said/wrote.

It is not enough for a person to be a poster or confirmed by Dan (no offense). They can still be freaky and Dan is not
a professional psychologist nor expected to do this kind of analysis even if he were. So either all the people who
have something personal in the gallery have to agree to let the new applicant in, or the new applicant must post a
picture of themselves.. or both. Then how do you know the new person's photo is legit? Either way it is
complicated.

I guess it's safest for people who wish to post their photo, to just do it and for those who don't, to just not.

cheers,

[DanSteph]

Your right, but the problem is a bit different for woman anyway,
even if there is only 1 sick guy that watch the page it's enough
to cause problems. Michi is right in this way.

Dan

[reekchaa]

Dang  ...That *IS* true.
So much for hatching a plan to get all the other members to post snapshots of themselves
 "trying to get comfortable" in hopes Michi might reconsider.


THAT would be worth a Giggle or two.
