Subject: Members Photos and Info-Who's in charge? From: coldjam Date: 02 Nov 07 - 06:24 PM I've tried a few times to email those who are listed, and send photo and info to be posted, and never receive a reply. Is it cause they hate me or is the contact info obsolete? Anybody got a clue? Judy ps not sure if I posted this before and forgot or if I just thought about it, sorry if I did... Mudcat Photos (click)(Temporary Location)send photos for posting to joe@mudcat.org |

Subject: RE: Members Photos and Info-Who's in charge? From: SINSULL Date: 02 Nov 07 - 07:01 PM Jeff, a volunteer, handles it. He may be at the Getaway. Give him time. I think he waits until he has a bunch and loads them all at once. |

Subject: RE: Members Photos and Info-Who's in charge? From: catspaw49 Date: 02 Nov 07 - 08:41 PM Let me try to help out here.......and it isn't the help you really want, but...............Jeff, aka Pene Azul, handled this for a long time as well as many other features of the 'Cat. Jeff is an old friend of Max, the site owner. Awhile back, both of these fine fellows were thrown into real world situations that precluded them from doing much more than keeping the basics around here working. Add to that "The Crash" that happened and truthfully I am amazed and very pleased AND thankful that we have as much as we do and can still enjoy the camaraderie, laughs, and fights as well that make this place so special. So let me apologize but also say, just hang in there and at some point down the road things will improve for Mudcat and also "level out" for both Max and Jeff. From an old-timer here----I hope it helps. Spaw |

Subject: RE: Members Photos and Info-Who's in charge? From: wysiwyg Date: 02 Nov 07 - 10:27 PM There was an alternative plan to help the guys out, but we couldn't talk them into letting us all move into either of their houses. Maybe you'll have better luck. At least you won't have to share a room with Catspaw..... eeeew. :~) ~S~ |

Subject: RE: Members Photos and Info-Who's in charge? From: Mr Red Date: 03 Nov 07 - 04:01 AM Hey - it's free and worth every penny. It is what it is and they wouldn't percevere unless they loved you and your contributions. The Cat provides me with lunchtime relief from a very busy, time consuming job. |

Subject: RE: Members Photos and Info-Who's in charge? From: coldjam Date: 09 Nov 07 - 02:47 PM Thanks spaw, appreciate the encouragement and the skinny on the situation. I'm in no particular rush even though it was three or so months ago...at least now I won't take it personally! (yeah, like they even know I exist! As my hubby quotes, " WE wouldn't worry so much about what people think of us, if we knew how seldom they do!) Thanks again. Judy |

Subject: RE: Members Photos and Info-Who's in charge? From: PoppaGator Date: 09 Nov 07 - 03:37 PM The member photos and profiles were "frozen in time" (as far as I can tell) when The Crash occurred, however long ago that was... Not only have no new submissions been accepted and posted, nothing old or obsolete has been deleted, either. (I'm not sure that any pix or profiles had ever been deleted, for that matter, but you need to understand that much of that information is old and getting older, and some of the members depicted may no longer be hanging around.) If you're trying and failing to email a currently-active member at the e-address shown in his/her profile, why not use the PM function instead? Of course, you can't attach files to a Personal Message, but you stand a better chance of making contact, and then you should be able to get a current, working, email address for future use. I never got around to posting a profile before it was too late, but I do have a nice collection of my favorite pictures of ME preserved in cyber-amber as Mudcat Member Photos... |

Subject: RE: Members Photos and Info-Who's in charge? From: RTim Date: 09 Nov 07 - 08:13 PM With the advent of the Mudcat Group on Facebook - it could be said that this feature of Mudcat is no longer needed? Now all you have to do is create your own Facebook page; Join the Mudcat Facebook Group and then ask anyone who interests you to become a Friend - and you can see so much more about them - AND their friends!!!

Subject: RE: Members Photos and Info-Who's in charge? From: Joe Offer Date: 09 Nov 07 - 08:16 PM I'll tell you what - If you'd like to submit a photo, send it to me - joe@mudcat.org I'll find a temporary posting place until we can get them posted at Mudcat. Now that I have a broadband connection, it's a lot easier for me to do. -Joe- |

Subject: RE: Members Photos and Info-Who's in charge? From: Leadfingers Date: 09 Nov 07 - 08:31 PM A lot of us havent got round to doing the Face Book thing ! May well be worth a look ! |

Subject: RE: Members Photos and Info-Who's in charge? From: maeve Date: 09 Nov 07 - 10:51 PM Some of us have no intention of posting on Facebook, while others don't have the technology required. Joe's offer may open the possibilities for a place for Mudcat photos to those two groups as well as those who've chosen to use Facebook. maeve |

Subject: RE: Members Photos and Info-Who's in charge? From: katlaughing Date: 09 Nov 07 - 11:47 PM Joe, I have a Mudcat album at myopera. I've got a couple things up there already. If you want to send them on to me, I can include them there. |
|
Subject: RE: Members Photos and Info-Who's in charge? From: GUEST,Bert on Kelly's machine. Date: 10 Nov 07 - 10:29 AM I have a few links to Mudcatters here. I was thinking of upgrading this to provide contact info for anyone at Mudcat (or any songwriter) who wants a line or two. so if you want to email me your info I'll put it here. Bert. |

Subject: RE: Members Photos and Info-Who's in charge? From: Jeri Date: 10 Nov 07 - 12:53 PM PoppaGator, how is your house now? It looked lovely before Katrina! |
|
Subject: RE: Members Photos and Info-Who's in charge? From: Joe Offer Date: 10 Nov 07 - 04:19 PM Kat and Bert, since you two already have something set up, I'll gladly pass the torch to you. Can you decide between yourselves which one is going to host the photos? People can submit photos to me [ joe@mudcat.org ], and I'll forward them to the appropriate party (thus keeping e-mail address publication to a minimum). I'll also post a link on the PermaThread index. I think it's best if people can access the photos without a password - is that possible for either of you? Hey, I like the photo of a pink Micca, Kat. -Joe- |

Subject: RE: Members Photos and Info-Who's in charge? From: coldjam Date: 10 Nov 07 - 10:13 PM Hey Thanks Bert, we're on your link page right smack-dab-in-the-middle of the Mc's! Judy |
|
Subject: RE: Members Photos and Info-Who's in charge? From: katlaughing Date: 10 Nov 07 - 10:35 PM What do you mean by access, Joe? If you mean can they post themselves, then no. If you mean can they look at them without a password, yes, no problem as long as they have the URL or know what to search for on myopera. I think Bill might need a day or two, no pun intended, to come back to earth, so we'll decide in a day or two, okay?:-) How's that for decisive?

Subject: RE: Members Photos and Info-Who's in charge? From: Rowan Date: 11 Nov 07 - 08:40 PM I'm not sure of the relevance of this message to the system that Kat and Bert have established but my understanding is that everything posted onto such forums is copyrighted by the owners of the respective forum. I'd rather have Mudcat owning the copyright on anything I posted (however little it might be worth) rather than having major league lawyers getting their hooks in. Cheers, Rowan |

Subject: RE: Members Photos and Info-Who's in charge? From: Bill D Date: 11 Nov 07 - 08:52 PM Rowan...I use MyOpera a lot, and I can find nothing suggesting that they can, or would try to, copyright my images. |

Subject: RE: Members Photos and Info-Who's in charge? From: Bill D Date: 11 Nov 07 - 08:56 PM see this page That's about the shortest terms & rules list I have seen. It says "be nice, and be sure YOU have the right to upload what you do, and you may have 300 megabytes to play with" |

Subject: RE: Members Photos and Info-Who's in charge? From: GUEST,.gargoyle Date: 11 Nov 07 - 09:48 PM Good advice Joe....Mudcat is fortunate....many locations will not allow HTML.
Some pretty mean-spirited folk out there.
However, Mudcat has always been more than benevolent in allowing references to ourside links.
Sincerely,
folkies....there are mountains of photobuckets, flicker, g-image, brithishpathe, youtube....

Subject: RE: Members Photos and Info-Who's in charge? From: Janie Date: 11 Nov 07 - 11:58 PM All I know is - I want a birthday thread this year. Ya hear! Been waiting long enough to have my personal info posted so Alba can check and start me a birthday thread. I've waited long enough, damn it! So...somebody take note....November 24 I'll be 56 years young. I'm gonna wait to hit the submit button for 5 minutes so I can say you have 12 days to work on composing your birthday wishes to Yours Truly. If nobody notices or bothers, why, I'll...I'll...well...I guess I'll just....ummmm....turn 56 anyway! So there! |

Subject: RE: Members Photos and Info-Who's in charge? From: Janie Date: 12 Nov 07 - 12:00 AM Arrrrrgh - Oh nooooooooo Mr. Bill, the Mudcat clock and mine are not synchronized....!!!! |

Subject: RE: Members Photos and Info-Who's in charge? From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 12 Nov 07 - 12:19 AM the main reason I used My Opera when Kat recommended it, was the short, simple plain English agreement BiLL mntions, there was none of the usual intrusive questions, I didn't need to give them my bank password, a pound of flesh or first born child! happy pre-Birthday, Janie. Others only have a Birth-day, or even a Birth-month, you can also have a pre-Birthday/month. sandra (a bit further away from 56, but closing in fast) |

Subject: RE: Members Photos and Info-Who's in charge? From: Rowan Date: 12 Nov 07 - 12:51 AM You're both spring chickens, but Happy PreBirthday anyway. Thanks, BiLL, for setting me straight on MyOpera. Cheers, Rowan |

Subject: RE: Members Photos and Info-Who's in charge? From: Azizi Date: 12 Nov 07 - 12:55 AM Yeah Janie!!! Another Sagittarius in the house! I love it! {since I'm a triple Sag-Sun, Mercury, and Jupiter in astrology terms}. Happy Pre-Birthday! |
|
Subject: RE: Members Photos and Info-Who's in charge? From: katlaughing Date: 12 Nov 07 - 10:40 AM Janie, post-it note in the middle of my monitor. I will NOT forget! You will get your thread!**BG** In the meantime, Happy Pre-Birthday! (Is that anything like pre-Men O'Pause?:-) luvyakat |

Subject: RE: Members Photos and Info-Who's in charge? From: PoppaGator Date: 12 Nov 07 - 01:59 PM Jeri: Thanks for asking about our house. We're about to celebrate our one-year anniversary of living back home: after Katrina we spent about four months (Sept-Dec '05) in "exile" in New Jersey, then eleven months (Jan-Nov '06) in a New Orleans apartment while waiting on insurance money, waiting for a licensed electrician and licensed plumber, and working on the renovation. We were finally able to move back into our home at Thanksgiving last year. I have before-and-after pix of the homestead in low-resolution (e-mailable) form that I have sent out to various friends. Actually, a set of three pictures is the most instructive: before Katrina, immediately afterwards, and today, after rehab. The biggest difference between before and after is not so much the house as the surrounding and overhanging shade canopy. The hurricane destroyed 70% of the tree canopy citywide, and it's very evident at my property. Our biggest trees survived (didn't fall down completely), but lost most of their limbs. The background of any photo of our house taken before Katrina showed nothing but green above and behind the building, while all pictures taken since then reveal a bare open sky. I'll try to remember to send copies to joe-at-mudcat, since he was kind enough to offer. Janie: Speaking of birthdays, I just had one of my own last Thursday: turned SIXTY on the eighth. I'll be wishing you a happy b-day, and will galdly accept belated greetings for myself... |

Subject: RE: Members Photos and Info-Who's in charge? From: Janie Date: 12 Nov 07 - 02:49 PM And here they are, no less well meant for being belated! Dark, drear February has spawned a lot of November babies (Or maybe it has to do with Valentine's Day.) |

Subject: RE: Members Photos and Info-Who's in charge? From: Azizi Date: 12 Nov 07 - 03:18 PM Happy Belated Birthday, Poppagator!!! |
|
Subject: RE: Members Photos and Info-Who's in charge? From: katlaughing Date: 12 Nov 07 - 03:41 PM Happy POst-B-day, Poppagator! I remember the BEFORE pix of your lovely house...it was indeed all green and beautiful. Glad you have been back in your own home for a year now. Seems like it was only yesterday... all the best, kat |
|
Subject: RE: Members Photos and Info-Who's in charge? From: PoppaGator Date: 12 Nov 07 - 04:01 PM Hey, y'all, thanks for the nice quick greetings. Kat, I read about your recent troubles and hope you're doing better. |

Subject: RE: Members Photos and Info-Who's in charge? From: Jeri Date: 12 Nov 07 - 05:08 PM Poppagator, I asked because of the photos in the Photo Section. (Under 'Events') Pretty little house, and I hope it eventually gets back to being 'home'. I think that maybe Jeff didn't add photos for so long that people quit trying to send them. At least in the 'Events' section. There may be something else going on with the other parts. |
|
Subject: RE: Members Photos and Info-Who's in charge? From: PoppaGator Date: 12 Nov 07 - 05:41 PM Hmm, I had forgotten that I submitted pictures of my house to "Member Photos/Events," but there they are, matching "before" and "after" shots plus an additional "after" closeup of the front door, with its first-responder inscription: http://www.mudcat.org/photos/events_page.cfm?file_name_sent=2005katrina As you can see, the house itself doesn't look much different, but the absence of surrounding greenery after the catastrophe makes for a really stark contrast. I'll send Joe just one additional picture, showing the same house from the same angle another 26-27 months later. The sky will still be largely empty, but the overall impression should indicate substantial improvement. If you look closely, you'll see that the "FEMA hieroglyphics" are mostly gone now, since I repainted the shutters, but that a fragment of that spray-painted symbol is still visible on the doorframe. I may never paint over those few square inches, but rather keep a tiny reminder of Katrina that will probably remain unnoticed except when specifically pointed out... |

Subject: RE: Members Photos and Info-Who's in charge? From: GUEST,.gargoyle Date: 12 Nov 07 - 07:27 PM Forgot to mention.
Two other EASY ways been around several years (even a Mac user can do it) to send files over the internet:
PANDO requires a free download http://www.pando.com
But there's an even simpler service, which works right through your browser window and doesn't require the download or istallation of any softwar.
YouSendIt http://www.yousendit.com
Needed two WAV files for a funeral on Thursday. Request for dying request came after shower and before suit, less than two hours. Phonecall, friend, download, burn and out the door.
Sincerely, |

Subject: RE: Members Photos and Info-Who's in charge? From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 13 Nov 07 - 12:39 AM amazing photos, PoppaGator Belated birthday greeting to you, too sandra |
|
Subject: RE: Members Photos and Info-Who's in charge? From: coldjam Date: 14 Nov 07 - 01:07 PM Wow PoppaGator-what a beautiful place you have. I can't imagine the feelings you must have had finding the aftermath...but I'm glad the body count there was "0"! |
|
Subject: RE: Members Photos and Info-Who's in charge? From: katlaughing Date: 14 Nov 07 - 05:29 PM Looking good after two years, PoppaGator! Folks take a look at a new picture of his place. Just CLICK HERE. Here are the before pix linked in a previous posting by PoppaGator:

Subject: RE: Members Photos and Info-Who's in charge? From: PoppaGator Date: 14 Nov 07 - 06:00 PM Kat, you beat me to the punch! I just emailed that photo to Joe a couple of hours ago. I had planned to give him a little more time before checking "Photos/Events," and then making a little announcement here when folks could see my updated "after-after" picture there, along with the longstanding "before" and "(immediately) after" shots. Actually, as of right now, that Mudcat Photo/Events page has not yet been updated, but you got hold of my picture quickly, somehow, anyway, and got it up on the web yourself ~ nice work!

Subject: RE: Members Photos and Info-Who's in charge? From: katlaughing Date: 14 Nov 07 - 06:05 PM It's a pretty simple process at myopera, Poppa. Your house looks beautiful. You've done a lot of really fine work. It may be quite a while before the Mudcat photo pages get any kind of work, so up thread, somewhere, BillD and I both offered to put folks' photos up in our albums, if folks would send them to Joe, then he'd send them to one of us, which he did quite sprightly, it seems.:-) I hope that is okay with you? |
|
Subject: RE: Members Photos and Info-Who's in charge? From: coldjam Date: 14 Nov 07 - 06:39 PM You did a great job Poppa! After all the conversation on this I started, my pics are on my pc which is not hooked up to the internet...when I figure out how to put it on my mac I will re-submit them to...well someone! Thanks! |
|
Subject: RE: Members Photos and Info-Who's in charge? From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 14 Nov 07 - 06:42 PM kat - would it be worth putting the Mudcat Photos link PoppaGator posted (12 Nov 07 - 05:41 PM) with the latest pic so folks could see all 3 pics at the same time? sandra |
|
Subject: RE: Members Photos and Info-Who's in charge? From: katlaughing Date: 14 Nov 07 - 07:38 PM Could, Sandra, or if he'd like, I can copy the photos on the Events page and post them to my Mudcat album right along with his latest. What sezya, Poppa? |
