Feelin' more than a bit Irish as 2 weeks ago I found my first four leaf clover and it is only now starting to fade... I thought I would get the weekly report off so that the weekend will start that much earlier. AB NEWS The Advisory Board is now in a hearing about Richard Pettys and Georgia. Those of you that are on Discuss know Mr. Pettys views. Again any conversation I have had on this Hearing is private and I do try to keep my promises... I will guess that this hearing will not be long and drawn out. Other business... the AB has been listening to two grievances I believe one has been cleared up... The second one may require more time. USGenWeb News Magazine It's out and it's cool. If you didn't get a copy in your email... drop the list or me a line... We'll get you signed up TECH Help of the Week I noticed a few years ago that my ftp program didn't list all my files that I knew were online... but it didn't become an issue until I wanted to edit some of the files i couldn't view. I kept MIRC and Discuss humming for a couple of days... and this is what I understand that I learned...<grin> and all those people that helped.... THANK YOU!!!! 1. Most ftp will truncate the list of files/jpgs on site at some number... in my case after 2000 files nothing else was pulled up...<sigh> That meant I saw all files in alphabetical order A through the beginning of S... I needed to reduce the files/jpgs in my main directory by creating subdirectories... 2. Making subdirectories is really easy... just ask the right persons... 3. In moving and resaving - my jpgs added to their size... (I knew it already but was still sad to see each one get 1 K bigger and know I was losing quality) 4. The process I used back in 2000/2002 made my jpgs not work in the subdirectories... (they worked elsewhere but not the subs...<sigh>) That problem was cleared up by running the jpgs through another program... like an optimizer or sending to myself as email... I thank everyone who sends notes to the lists with suggestions and corrections. Yes, even the ones that tell me I'm wrong.
