The 2nd Annual Bob festival

Now that is cool! One thing - the sig only loaded as I was getting to the end of the message, surely it shouldn't be that slow? I was wondering what you were talking about till Bob finally made his appearance! :-D

As Simon said, it is only triggered when you "mouseover" my sig area, not automatically.

Ten seconds?! :omg: X| Are you sure you are counting from the time you move the mouse over the sig area? Even if I delete the files form the cache it still only takes me just over a second.

Yes, after I move the cursor over the sig area, the progress bar on IE status bar begins to advance by jerks and after 8-10 sec the Bob pops out. Some narrow point on the way :confused:.

I have jumped through hoops to keep the current images aound 2000 bytes - any more and it would take a noticable time to download, and for the person who inadvertantly mousesovers my sig area that would be unaceptable. As it is it takes about a qaurter of a second longer to download than my previous sig, and the four images only need to be downloaded once. In fact my "usual" rating of "0|0|4|o" only needs to be downloaded once to be used in about 90% of my messages.

'Die Interimsliebenden' Einstürzende NeubautenOkay, I'm liking that. Nice and straightforard, and unlikely to offend too many people this time. :) Just one minor point... what the heck is a C++ rock garden when it is at home, and what the hell does one of them look like?! :~

I did think of another idea though.. :bob: walks into garage/driveway, past a bicycle with 'VB' on a little licence tag, past a scooter with 'C#' on it's tag, and gets into a big manual shift (must be manual) sports car with 'C++' on the tag. He slides his shades on, revs the engine, and takes off down the road/into the sunset. I suppose this might make a good ending. :)

2000 bytes! You're just not trying, are you ;P bob.zip - all your images optimised down to 16 colours, coming out at rougly 900 bytes each I could probably get them even smaller if I had UAE and PPaint setup :-D -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

He slides his shades on, revs the engine, and takes off down the road/into the sunset. I suppose this might make a good ending. :)

'Die Interimsliebenden' Einstürzende NeubautenOh, but it turns out that his oil and gas weren't type-safe, so his pretty little sports car died. That means that he has to use the "scooter" which is really on loan from James Bond. It turns into a jet and he flies off to work...:-D Norm Almond: I seen some GUI's in my life but WTF is this mess ;-) Leppie: I made an app for my sister and she wouldnt use it till it was colorful enough:) Norm:good point leppie, from that statement I can only deduce that this GUI must be aimed at children:laugh: Leppie:My sister is 25:eek: -Norm on the MailMagic GUI

Instead the C# scooter runs on little tracks like a train. It's called the .TRACK framework, but it isn't installed in very many places because it requires more land than regular roads. :laugh: David Stone wrote: It turns into a jet and he flies off to work.. Okay, now you're just being silly. :rolleyes: ;P

Daniel Ferguson wrote: It's called the .TRACK framework, but it isn't installed in very many places because it requires more land than regular roads. But it's much faster to make a vehicle that goes on these tracks because one doesn't have to worry about the gas and the oil. :-D Norm Almond: I seen some GUI's in my life but WTF is this mess ;-) Leppie: I made an app for my sister and she wouldnt use it till it was colorful enough:) Norm:good point leppie, from that statement I can only deduce that this GUI must be aimed at children:laugh: Leppie:My sister is 25:eek: -Norm on the MailMagic GUI
