I will also once the basic idea is approved here add "www. and .com" to the "corfid" at the top and "Hamilton ON November 2004' at the bottom So waddya think folks?? ------------------ My Gordon Lightfoot webring starts at http://www.johnfowles.org.uk/lightfoot [This message has been edited by johnfowles (edited September 14, 2004).] [This message has been edited by johnfowles (edited September 14, 2004).] |

I can't go, http://www.corfid.com/ubb/mad.gif but do I get to vote? I think that is very nice with the pussywillows and cattails and it isn't garish, It would well inform people who you are on corfid and your real name so there would be no embarrassment. Although, everyone knows who you are John. I would be one of the illiterate people that would collect a blank one from you and fill in. See, on the bright side, since I can't go now I won't embarrass myself in front of others that are computer literate. Thank you for making me feel better about staying at home http://www.corfid.com/ubb/confused.gif
brink My typing sucks, If I only had a brain. Sorry for the typos John. [This message has been edited by brink (edited September 14, 2004).] |

Two innmediate thoughts I aimed my first stab at corfid members since the basic idea by BillW arose here and there has been nmuch chatter about Hamilton here compared to almost zero on the usually bustling Newsgroup. I expect some NGers will object to being offerred an apparent corfid only badge. So tomorrow I'll try to integrate mention of them too, possibly by emphasising either "Lightheads" or The Net People" Secondly Gaby's response to BillW's suggestion did specify " unobtrusive lapel sticker" so maybe a simpler idea would be to print the badge directly to a suitbly sized sticky address label?? ------------------ My Gordon Lightfoot webring starts at http://www.johnfowles.org.uk/lightfoot |

John, before you go too crazy trying to get the right size, I bought a box at Staples with the badge holders and cardboard badges. It's an Avery kit so the template is already in most word processing software.

Hi John,
I'd rather wear a tshirt with that hot photo of Gordon that someone posted a while ago... http://www.corfid.com/ubb/wink.gif |
>>>Secondly Gaby's response to BillW's suggestion did specify "unobtrusive lapel sticker" so maybe a simpler idea would be to print the badge directly to a suitbly sized sticky address label??
>>> this sounds most practical, imo... JR's right on with the Avery suggestion too, why struggle with alignment when someone has already gone through the $%^&*% just 2 cent plug here, i like using ACDSee (may still be at tucows?) as an image viewer and print previewer...MS Word is common, eh i'll be making May or maybe Nov, i'll be wearing a diaper pin oh, and thank you for the endorsement John, i love exaggeration http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif...let me help in any way but i think the creators in the past have always come up with unique and witty solutions to every Lighthead want and need http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif |

Hi everyone,
As I've said I'll be glad to wear whatever wins the most votes. Badge ? T-shirt ? But I'd prefer not to get another tattoo, LOL. In any event I plan on cutting my hair the day before so my dome will be a shining beacon, on a hill ? Anyway, can't wait to see him. Bill http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif I'd been out drinkin' all day I got carried away at the parlor last night This summer rose is for you it's no wonder I bothered to wander back into the parlor It's red and in bloom and it's more than one color It lives on forever for just a few dollars Good night |
