Re: [lace] Re: Lace Guild Website Advent Calendar
It took a bit of time to load; I thought I was gonna get "Janice experience", gave up for tonight, and clicked on the "Census" to remind myself - once again - what the requirements for the luggage label were Mmm - yes! I'm also trying to decide on what to put on a luggage label. The deadline will soon be in sight, which should motivate me to think of something to put on the label! Wouldn't it be fun if we all made a label for the Lace Guild's census?

Silly me, it is still November here, but surely December 1 in England now even though it is only 1 a.m. in the morning. Cheat! When we first started (seven years ago) we changed the picture by hand everyday about midnight UK time. However then I got round to coding it (it does work on a computer you know) and 'it' checks the time 'itself' - and yes, the time is your computer's local time. (Which also means that if your computer battery is flat and the date has gone back to 1904 or something, you are going to have to replace the battery if you want to open the windows.)

Next time they should still be in your computer's 'cache' so with any luck the page should load more quickly. (I could try to write even more complicated code that only does the background loading on the right date, but, then, it's just an Advent Calendar not a guided missile system :-) ) David -- Jean Leader Glasgow, Scotland, UK Lace Guild web site: http://www.laceguild.org - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

A different type of competition this year - doesn't require vast (any?) knowledge of lace, so we look forward to lots of entries. Many thanks. Unlike Janice, I didn't get around to checking it out till just now - 1AM on the East Coast of US, and well into the early morning (if a dark one, at this time of year) in UK. It came up, bells-a-ringin'... It took a bit of time to load; I thought I was gonna get "Janice experience", gave up for tonight, and clicked on the "Census" to remind myself - once again - what the requirements for the luggage label were (I'm currently see-sawing between making the lace for the label and making some Christmas ornaments to send off as card inclusions. Both ideas are "distractions" from what I'm supposed to be doing - getting a pattern/article for IOLI's Feb 15 deadline - and both are more pleasant prospects ). Of course, to re-inforce my technophobia, the Advent Calendar came up a split-second before it flickered off and disappeared, giving priority to the second click and Census :) But I got them both eventually, and now I can lay my head to rest.
