Well, hello and thank you. I intend to contribute a few things to WIGO now and then. Etc 21:02, 12 May 2008 (EDT)

That's good to hear. Hope to see you around some more. -- Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 13:03, 13 May 2008 (EDT)

You're blocked for a day at Conservapedia. Do you have a dynamic IP adress? If you have you can start a new account with a different name. Log out of Conservapedia. Switch your modem off. Switch the modem back on again. Your IP adress will be different provided your IP adress is dynamic. Start a new acount. It may be better to wait so they don't connect the new account with you.

Sorry, I'm static (which usually is good). I'll wait it out. Etc 10:16, 24 June 2008 (EDT)

Demotion

For your occasional and minor edits and your endless talk you have been demoted to sysop. Find the help page yourself. $\approx$$\pi$ _Mowse 07:38, 18 September 2008 (EDT)

Well, thank you very much, I suppose. I mean, oh darn! My revenge will be gruesome. Etc 07:43, 18 September 2008 (EDT)

Not a very exciting sig, you still working on it? For best result on mine set maths to always render png. $\approx$$\pi$ _Mowse 07:46, 18 September 2008 (EDT)

Yes, my long term plan is to slowly replace the color in order to make it fade into blue, to maximize confusion about whether or not I actually have a user page! Eventually, perhaps also incorporate a mouse into the sig. Right now I'm just undoing this unfunny wandalism. I will surely report this user to the FBI. Etc 08:01, 18 September 2008 (EDT)

Fade from what into blue? $\approx$$\pi$ _Mowse 08:11, 18 September 2008 (EDT)

Fade from sad into blue ... Etc 10:35, 18 September 2008 (EDT)

Sorry, that was rather poetic than helpful. Actually, I don't have much intention with anything right now. Etc 10:35, 18 September 2008 (EDT)

Etc, I just sent you a Very Important Email. Or rather I tried to, but your email wasn't enabled. Would you please enable it? Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 10:56, 8 October 2008 (EDT)

Certainly! I have enabled it and am looking forward to your email, which I am confident will be Very Important Indeed! Etc 13:21, 8 October 2008 (EDT)

McShinyGoat

I've been trying to make good-looking medals for a while now. How'd you make your goat medal oh so shiny? - Gentleman Publius (V)<,",>(V) 15:52, 4 January 2009 (EST)

Well thank you! I did it in GIMP, and the procedure went something like this:

I opened the goat image and blurred it a bit (I figured that the delicious texture of the goat would have made my medal a bit to jagged otherwise). Then I added a new layer and filled it with an orangish yellow. Then, I used "Filters/Light and shadow/Lightning effects", clicked the "Bump mapping" tab, enabled bump mapping and selected the goat image as source. Then I basically fiddled around with the other settings (and moved the blue "light" dot around) until it looked good. That process was so time-consuming though, that I gave up immediately on making the letters in the same fashion. Good luck! Etc 17:03, 4 January 2009 (EST)

Brown paper packages

Thanks for the Favourite Things link in Talk:WIGO - I'd heard about it but never seen it for myself until now. That's the kind of creativity where I'm willing to make an exception and condone vandalism - beautifully realised!--Kriss Akabusi^{AAAAWOOOOGAAAR!!1} 06:50, 4 February 2009 (EST)

Heehee. That was one of mine. Щєазєюіδ^{Methinks it is a Weasel} JuanK 07:18, 4 February 2009 (EST)

Thank you. I take no credit for the actual wandalism, it's just one of my own good old favorites. It's a bit amazing that you've heard about it, but never actually seen it. That's the true measure of legendary wandalism :-) Etc 12:34, 4 February 2009 (EST)
