Greetings all!

I just put together a list for those who are thinking about attending the
Forever Knight fan get together this summer in Toronto called PerkCon.
Arranging rooms, rides and, most importantly, coffee breaks ;-)

Those things come in packages of two, don't they? <happily eating a chocolate

I agree about trying to reclaim some part of his past, and I think that in
particular, he was trying to reclaim a part of the past that was innocent,
before he was forced to fight in the Crusades.

Bring 'em back alive!

Subject: Warning! To All Who Keep Pics!

Sorry to interrupt, but I thought that what with all the saved FK pics out
there I'd better send this and save someone else of a huge *disaster*.

My brother bought a digital camera and very nicely gave me the software so
that I could use it too.
Little did any of us know that the software (Polaroid PhotoMax Image Maker)
would change the format of **ALL** the pictures in my hard drive regardless
of *when* I had saved them, to its own special format.
This format does not allow you to retrieve your pics *except* via their
program!
Uninstalling the program does NOT put things to right!
There was NO warning on the software package!

I'm going to try uninstalling and reinstalling my old storage system in the
hopes that I can prevent having to go back and re-search for over a hundred
fav pics.  I'm praying the old system still works for one last time and that
the pics are still there.

Please, please, if you ever get a digital camera, research a software
program before installing it.
My brother feels awful.

Close to tears,
Kyer

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
The bastards!  The dirty...even LaCroix was never this--!
Oh, God!  I feel just like Nick when LC first told him he *couldn't* go
back!!!!

All my pic files have been corrupted by the digital camera from Heck! <SOB!>
Months of saving!  GONE!

Please, if you have a picture archive with downloadable pics, can you send
me the addy?  I want my Nicks back!!! Waaaaaaaah!

Subject: Re: Warning! To All Who Keep Pics!

Kyer,

Can you send me one of the pics so I can see what the format is?  Don't get rid
of them yet.  I might be able to figure something out.  Do you use Windows 95 or
what?  It might not be the format of the pics it might be that the software
registered itself to open all the pics no matter what the format.  Some software
does that and that can be changed.  Please send one to me.

Kyer,

I went to the Polaroid site and looked at the software. It supports several
formats so I am sure what happened is that it registered itself in windows to
open up all the different kinds of pics.  As I said this can be changed back.

Can you go into the DOS prompt and copy each picture from the format
it is now to a JPEG file after wiping out the camera's software.  Then
delete the original.  I had the same trouble with Excel changing my
Catz files.

I believe today is the last day to vote in the FK Fanfic Awards.  If you haven't
already voted, pls do so.  There is so much good work represented and I enjoyed
reading it all!

Looks like I missed the deadline as that was midnight the 28th EST.   In
past years didn't we get warning that nominations were about to close?   RL
does tend to keep one busy, I had completly forgotten about the awards.

RL does tend to keep one busy and interfere.  I didn't get near as many of
the nomination read as I would have liked to.  What I got to were wonderful
and I intend to read the rest even if I can't vote for them this year.
One of the RL problems I've run into is that the weather has finally turned
nice here in Ohio.  Maybe next year we could have the awards while the
weather is still gross and we're all locked away with our computers and our
favorite vamps just to maintain our sanity.

Wanted to say sorry to you all that the below notice came late.  I didn't
realize my msgs were still set for "Review."  I just recently signed back
up for the discussion list.  Maybe they'll be sweet and extend the
dead-line?  Or maybe I'm just a Polly-anna at heart...

Subject: Re: Susan Pierce is home from the hospital

Hi, Gang~

Just wanted to follow-up and let everyone know that Susan Pierce
is home.  Her hospital stay was a fiasco - the doctors didn't
seem to be able to do anything about the strokes, so they
finally agreed to let her go home.

Susan can't move around well, driving is out of the question,
and she's in a tremendous amount of pain.  As you might
imagine, she's feeling pretty blue.

The good news is that she can at least sit up for a little
while now, so she's able to read her email again.
If anyone would like to send her a message, her email addy
is suspierce@a........  She's really missed everyone on list.

Thanks,

Sami

Subject: Your Weekly Vote & FK's Position (those using mult. e-mail addresses
         also read)

Hi!

*Those of you voting with more than one e-mail address, please don't. They
DO reconize your ISP address and therefore you loose weight on the chart
lowering FK's position. If you've already done it this month, just remember
not to do it anymore so hopefully FK will be higher next month.*

This is a reminder for you to vote at the Global 100 on HIGH LEVEL (this is
very important and determines the weight of your votes, which then
determines FK's Position).

If you're already on a HIGH level then just go here to add your weekly vote:
http://www.global100.com/item.asp?Item=51259

If not simply go to your "personal card" and answer the questions about your
birthday, age, and gender. Once you do they will send you a "key" via e-mail
which you then can paste on your personal card. Aftrewards you will be on
HIGH level. (if you have any questions about this, feel free to e-mail me).

FK's currently #7 unofficially. Officially it is #4.

Thanks for voting!
Kristin

I accidentally sent this to FKFic-L the first time...
sorry, folks. Got the time slot wrong, too.
Correct time slot is *after* the prime time movie,
with a rerun early the next morning.
