I uploaded Walt pics from closing day, but he must not have had time to post them yet. So here they are on my site.

What screen resolution do you need to see your site clearly? I'm using the standard 1024 x 768 and its very difficult to see the pictures.

Looks fine on my 1680x1050, but then again, that's probably not a real 'normal' resolution.

Well, I run at 1280x1024. But even at that, it depends on where on my site you are. 1024x768 seems to be the most prevelant screen resolution. I'm currently in the process of trying to get everything to look good at that resolution. But, I just do this for fun. I don't have the time to spend on it that I'd like. Last night was my first time working on my site in over a month.

In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the pictures. :)

Did a quick little fix on my most recent stuff. Sometimes I forget about how the site looks to other people. How it is now is about the best I can do for the existing stuff.

I'll make a concerted effort for all future additions. Thanks for the feedback.

Much better. My 800 pixel wide browser window on 1024x768 resolution was cutting off the navigation frame when it was on the bottom. Works fine now.

How do you guys function with such small realestate? ;)

Ben, I was just curious... 1680x1050 is a very unusual resolution. Do you have a wide-screen monitor?

Looks fine on my 1440 x 900 res.

That 23" Apple Cinema Display is calling my name, but my wallet is pulling me away. :)

Looks fine on my 1440X900 as well. I actually have a few pics of Maverick from Closing Day that I would like to contribute as well. Where would be the best place for me to send them to? I took them as 2 MP JPG's with my digicam.

Heh, I don't know how I do... Two PIII ~500's, one with a Gateway 17" fat tube and the other an IBM 17" flat tube, both 1280x1024... meh...

Yeah, at work here I've got the 20" Widescreen LCD, thus the weird 1680x1050 resolution. I typically run 1280x1024 or 1600x1200 on my CRT's/non Wide screen LCD.

I hate my 15" LCD monitor. Can't go any bigger than 1024x768. Very hard when some websites that do the photo control buttons and I can't see them because the website's picture is bigger than my screen. I used to have a 18" tube monitor, but with my 3 legged desk, that wasn't very safe because whever I put pressure on the front of my desk, the desk goes falling towards me. A 5 pound monitor is a little bit safer than a 17 pound monitor.

LCD's are just worth the investment. I only have a CRT in my room, and it just isn't nearly as easy to read.

I guess some of the conspiracy therorists were right... look, they started painting Maverick blue:

Now we just have to wait for them to dismantle some of the track, to make room for the 3rd launch; 250 mph, 560 ft. Geeeez, I can't believe they made us all think that the "official " layout was the real one...

I thought Maverick was going to stay red? I don't see where they're painting it blue at. We're you just kidding around or are you serious?

Are you really asking that?


We'll miss you MrScott and Pete

No I meant to ask that in a sarcastic way, I wasn't serious.
