For those left behind .......

Hi Iceman,
Where did you get those ones from?

I don't know about Marksman, but I'm not really Welsh. I'm a total British mongrel - Irish, Scottish, English and I live in Wales :lol:

I was just thinking, there are a lot of very talented J2Skiers and we could really do with some better ski related smilies (sorry Admin I didn't mean to hurt your feelings). Do you think anyone would be interested in making some for us?

I have absolutely no idea how to do it. I find it difficult enough to remember how to turn my computer on, and use the mouse etc. without trying to make animated ski related smilies.

I wonder how hard it is to do?

There are websites out there that do them. Thats how Marksman would have got his & how I got mine. Type in text to a gizmo and it sticks a pic out the other end :thumbup:

Hi Iceman,
Is it legal making them like that? I mean - can we use them without getting in trouble?

It would be really great to have a library of ski related ones like that, that we could use to illustrate our messages with, especially the rather more mundane posts.

So, you and Marksman used photobucket to make yours?

You have to remember that I am really pretty old :cry:

When I was in school we still used slide rules and log tables and things. I don't think I even had a calculator until the sixth form. And when I was at Uni we did a programming course on a Commodore 64 and had to learn basic (mind you I was very proud of my A grade for the program I wrote on variance analysis - still got it somewhere).

So - I am hopelessly out of date :roll:

I will have a look tomorrow to see how to make ski smilies :D

And maybe in about 10 years time I'll be able to do it :lol:

Ally

Howdy all.

I'm half Welsh and half English. Welsh from the waist down (short hairy legs) and English from the waist up (poncy English accent). Thus both the Welsh and the English dislike me :roll:

I assure you no talent was consumed in the making of my smiley.

All done from here:- http://www.happyfacegenerator.com/

Really must go to bed.

Oh, nice job Iceman :thumbup:

Owen.

Hi Marksman, thanks :D

Sorry Iceman :oops:

I forgot to say you did a great job making those smilies - and you were pretty quick at it too.

Night night everybody,

Ally

The real site doesn't seem to be working but here is a bodged "End of wibble" smiley to be going on with...



The properly geeky will complain that the slash is at the end not the beginning :oops:

Owen.

I was going to say that

I noticed the site was down too!

Thanks Marksman, even if it's not quite perfect :D

Maybe we should make them a bit smaller though :?:

How annoying :evil:

I got up specially early to start designing and manufacturing ski related smilies and the smiley website's not working :evil: :evil: :evil:

I wonder if there's another website that makes them? Iceman? Anyone?
