Got some guy over on Gixxer.com to make it for me.

I like!!!!

It's pretty close to 1MB in size.
The dial-up people are going to hate you!

Nice video, however

It's cool, but that image is WAY too big to be used as an avatar. Like 10 times too big.

Please use something else.

I got a good chuckle from it, but yeah, that's going to kill the dial up people.

Its 2004 GET CABLE!
No, well i guess they will be seing our story in slow motion!

Don't worry guys, chances are that it's only gonna get served about 2 or 3 hundred times before Cox Cable pulls the plug on that webspace for a month

OK, pulled it.

Can I use it when I change it to 180kb?

Too much KB computer Talk!!!!

How's this?

Me no understand???!

It doesn't loop as many times and is much smaller than the last one.

Ohhh i see!
Now were making sense here. So how are you liking the Lazzzer!?

It's still too big. We don't have any hard rules set on size (maybe we need some?) but our dial-up users shouldn't have to wait 30 seconds or more for pages to load because of your avatar.

put your face back Ronnie! or your cousin's (is that what you wanna say Josh?)

YES!!
COUSIN!!

Ronnie,

I'm out of my league here please don't be offended.

I have a picture that I wouldn't mind using as an Avatar. These things are supposed to move? I clicked on yours and I got a nice yellow box saying 'Avatar'. No kidding.

What I see is a 1" square with a black and white picture of some kind of rodent baring it's teeth at me, possibly a muskrat, or perhaps a scarab beetle interupting a picnic on a white napkin.

I don't think that's what you intended. Josh's car is obvious as are most other avatars and the others are in colour.

I'm not joking as I have an idea for my own but yours doesn't show on my machine properly. Am I missing something? And yes I'm dial up.

Cheers Tony

Thanks for the video Dean, I got the gif working

fullsize:

.

it isn't populating to old posts.. wierd

It is on my screen!

Hey Tony,

The avatars don't have to move. I just think the guys with the moving avatars (which are called 'animated gif' - the animated part just means they move or change, and the gif is just the picture format, like jpg).

Ronnies is an animated gif of the video that was recently posted of someone trying to yank his friend out of a snow bank and insteads ends up detaching his friends rear bumper while the remainder of the car stays nicely lodged in the snow.

If you're on dialup and/or have a slow computer, the gifs might end up not loading properly or might get smooched together into one odd looking picture, like how so described so eloquently. You defintely have a way with words!

What software you guys using to make WMV files into giffs? I have a wicked clip I wanna make a giff into. Tryed some sonic foundry software but having troubles.

SnatchIT to capture the frames.
GIF Movie Gear to create the animated GIF.

Both are shareware. Check Google.

It does require a certain amount of trial & error.

Thanx, I

is this too big?

Sh*t, I cant even see what it is, too small. I'll have to make something else.

it looks good Rob! But I couldn't see who that is.

I love dial up . Ok here we go again.

Ronnie. Some guy trying to poke his eyes out without removing his glasses. Not to bright an idea with or without the glasses. Oh well, some people are not mechanically inclined.

The terrible twosome being the two Robs.

One is some kind of Dahomean Voodoo creature from Haiti, or a Hendrix wannabe but with a ventrical fin for a beard. Must use a lot of Hercule Poirot moustache wax for that thing. Imported from Christies in Belgium I suppose.

And the other Rob I think is Nancy Sinatra, with a male head pasted on, getting ready to play 'These Boots Are Made For Walking'. I can't tell if he(it) is wearing Victoria Secrets fish net stockings, but the black hot pants and boots are definitely Nancy.

Josh. Who needs a cable connection when I can look at these things.

Keep up the avatar humour. It's amusing. If they are accurate portraits please don't turn up at any meets. You'll scare the bejesus out of me.

Thanks guys.

Cheers Tony

Post it Rob i wanna see it in full size and what it is!!
I think i may like it!

Its my "love" from Black Eyed Peas! Its from the "Hey Mama" vid. I love this group and I love this girl. Even more, I love watching her and the rest of the dancers bust wicked moves in this vid. If you like hip hop and dancing, watch this vid!


I shrunk it as much as I could so it doesnt look that great anymore but still, I love the moves!


I'm gonna find a better clip of her to make a giff.

Hey Tony, shrinkage is bad for avatars!!!

More scary:



And to keep your comments relevant when the avatars change:

Never sen that vid before, i am nt really into that music so that may be why!@
None the less, i think i still like it@!!
