Folks, could anyone tell me if they DID receive a confirmation email when
registering with the TC-RTC?
Apparently, this should have been working from the start, but there seems
to be some kind of blockage happening, although, I watched it working
perfectly in front of me yesterday.

I remember not receiving any confirmation, and asking if my account was
successfully created, but that was some time ago.
Actually, i'm not sure if i did save my login info at all... (d'oh).
Need to check once i'm back from work to see, else i'll need my login
info re-sent (again...)

No, could patch it all together from the mail back-and-forth
we had in March (?).
There's already been a winner announced? Wasn't that
supposed to take a week or two? :)
Oh, and some ideas for the website: "Next"/"Previous"
buttons on the "view image" page would be nice.
Showing the images scaled-down is nice, but actually scaling
down and creating a thumbnail for them that's less than 300
kB each may be even nicer :)
And let's not forget the second category "animations" :)
from hearsay, i learned that there are already entries
waiting :)

P.S. Hoo boy, i don't think all those ":)" remarks are going
to be as funny as they seem to me now once i regain
consciousness tomorrow morning... ;)

Yep, I remember. :o)

Yes, but apparently, that's harder to implement at the moment (which I
didn't know). I want it so that the winner is chosen one week after the
deadline, and that's the way it's going to be. But for now, I'm not *too*
bothered as I think those images are all equal. (My opinion only). It should
be corrected for the end of this next topic and animations.

Good idea. This will be done.

YIKES! Damn Broadband! Well spotted Markus! They loaded so quick for
me, I didn't bother looking. Ok, this will be sorted.

Oh, this will be implemented before the end of July that's for sure.
:o) I wouldn't and won't let you down on this.

On the contrary Markus, you've been a great help. Thank you.

Thank you Marc and Darin, my request was just to confirm that no-one
received an email, and this was the case. Anyway, it's working now. :o)

(warning: OT following ;)
Nice to hear. Man, i thought i had broadband. Imagine my frustration
that someone has a bigger broadband than me :)
I'm feeling inadequate.
*sigh*
Gotta order me a big fat computer instead.
Ooops, did that yesterday... :)
Hope it arrives on time to be helpful for my animation... the biggest
scene planned has four characters in it, and "us" abstraction-impaired
(read: using point-clicky-mouse-thing for 3d instead of doing it
properly with pen, paper and slide rule ;) tend to use up all available
CPU and then some...
(quoted from memory and userfriendly.org : (character is playing Unreal
on some older machine) "Is this some kind of slideshow?" ;)

Well, I've got a max of 8Mb's this end, but it's usually 6-7Mb's, and
sometimes less than 5.

Yeah, I felt like that when I was on dialup. I actually plugged my
dialup connection back in a few weeks ago just to see what it was like
again, and man, am I SO glad that I got BB! :o)

Oh, isn't it a great feeling when it's all set up and running and all
shiny new! You don't want to breathe on the thing, let alone touch it! :o)

Hmm, apparently, it was *my* ISP, Tiscali, blocking the emails somewhere
along the line.

If it should've been sent automatically from the web server, this
behaviour actually sounds reasonable - web servers sending mail by
themselves usually sets off quite some alarms at hosting companies :) so
they're often on internal block lists.
It usually works if the web server doesn't simply run the local mail
function, but logs into a regular mail server (then again, in that case,
the login name/pw need to be on the web server, i.e. they're potentially
exposed to the world).
Rock and a hard place, i guess :)

Oh my. I just checked. Result:
I'm quoting a webcomic strip that's over nine years old *from memory*.
I guess that makes me a certified relict.
That's the one:

Huh? If i click that link, i get a page with the comic on
it. (and it's not something that requires login or such).
Strange...
You're not behind some company firewall or using and
ablocker, are you? Some of these get over-zealous :)

LOL! I thought you were giving a small glimpse of your animation
storyline!! :o)

Heh, no, it's with reference to our young friend Andrew, AKA >
'Invisible' or 'Orchid XP v3' who is a dab-hand at all things to do with
computers, and especially the Haskell programming language. (Oh, and
fractals...) ;)

Yes, I think so. :) Thanks for that, very informative and useful, and
now that you mention it, I remember from some years ago a thread in a
Tiscali forum where someone was complaining of this very situation, where
Tiscali were blocking some domain somewhere, and the guy couldn't do what he
wanted to do with his website!
I think our good friend Colin (the keyboard guru!), has done some
redirecting, so it's all good to go now. :o)

Sorry for the confusion Markus,
Steve is right, Andrew posts a little bit more, in off topic than he does
here. And last year (?) he was crowned as the OT mascot.
His awareness of arcane computer knowledge is legendary (at least after 2000
:-)
Sorry Invisible. (The only person I know whose name depends on the time of
day)
