[bolger] Re: files
This is a brilliant scheme to satisfy the boat-building jones! I keep
trying to convince my friends and neighbors they want little bolger
crab skiffs, but to no avail :-(
Every Summer we have the Rel Sun memorial surf contest which raises
money for L.I. Breast Cancer Research. Maybe they want to raffle off
a proa!

Tortoise handled the small waves very well, it rose up over the
swells like a cork. You have to make sure you sit centrally to keep
the trim right of course. I took a bit of splash on board getting
through the break, but it kept me supprisingly dry. I wouldn't take
her out through waves any bigger than those in the pictures though.
I added a large boyancy/storage compartment in at the back, and also
modified rudder, attaching it to a plate that hinges off the top of
the transom, to allow me to launch in shallow water. The Nymph was
put together by Uwe Erfurt and myself, Uwe did the hull and I did the
finishing, rigging etc. I wanted to help my wife raise money for the
Leukaemia foundation by building a boat to raffle, so after much head
scratching, decided on the Nymph. Boatcraft Pacific of Brisbane
kindly supplied the dear stuff (plywood, epoxy and paint), I think

love to build another Bolger boat without having to pay, (well, not
too much anyway), give it a go and raise some money for a good
cause. You'll at least get to sail her once during sea trials.
Best of luck with your Oldshoe, I've been following your progress
from afar. I built a Skimmer with the daughters boyfriend, and am
about to start on a Micro. Trailers getting sandblasted as we
speak. Spar timber is downstairs. I think I have a problem......

Gregg-
Don't you mean 640x480? <g> Actually, it's the file size that matters, not
the image dimensions, as far as the archives are concerned. Usually there's
not much point in putting up files with dimensions bigger than most
people's screens (800x600 is the most popular at the moment, IIRC), but
sometimes it's useful so we can make out details. If I had my druthers I'd
like to see larger image sizes compressed more to make smaller file sizes,
even at the supposed expense of quality, rather than smaller images
compressed less, they're easier on my now middle-aged eyes (just turned
fifty :o( ). I run a 1024x768 screen, which makes the small images look
even tinier.
So, watch the _file size_, but try to make your images big enough to see.
If you're posting stuff like lines drawings or plans reduce the number of
colors to 16 and save as a GIF, it'll be smaller than a JPEG and look
better to boot, JPEG isn't good with that sort of image. I've had good luck
loading a 4 color palette containing black, two shades of grey and white
and paring GIF sizes down even more with little loss in quality, it's worth
a try if you're using a good graphics editing program (I use Paint Shop
Pro).

Gregg,
THUMBS PLUS?That sounds like an apt description for myself!After
going to a shop to get some photos scanned and requesting that the
image size be no bigger then what would be about the size of a
regular 5X6 picture,I then added a new folder to the Bolger
group.Well........!
If anyone knows how in the name of God I can get them to be
smaller then the HUGE pictures now in that file,I would certainly
appreciate hearing from you!

I would suggest to the egroup that anything over 740x480 is probably
too big, given our 20 meg limitation. And, it should probably be a JPG and
compressed by some decent software (like Thumbsplus).

Gregg, those recent Micro files posted were way too big to fit on my
monitor screen. Too much closeup, and I couldn't see the whole boat.
The files must take up a lot of space, too.

Gregg,
Is there maybe a way to make a file or folder that is just a list of
what pics, and who has them before everything gets removed, so that
in the future it would make finding who has photos of something
easier?
Rick
apologies...

I was wondering if they would enforce that 20 meg rule or not. Let's try
this: could we get some volunteers who have posted pics to:
1. check your pics, delete old ones or considering scaling down with Thumbs
Plus etc.
2. those with websites can put up an html file instead of a pic pointing to
that file on your site. For instance, my hulls file used to reside on the
egroup space, but now just points to my website.
So, we'll give it a few days to see if some space frees up. If not, I'll
have to delete some older pics myself, with apologies...
