The Happy News thread

See? The warning worked on you.

Prolly it'll be easy.

Hmm. Do you need special software to grab screencaps? Guess I should plug it in and see what happens. TrekCore is wonderful but it does seem to skip over some classic shots, almost like they're just running some mathematical program that doesn't care if Jolene has her eyes shut at that moment.

I'm not big into DVDs, so I don't have any specific prog's to reccomend, but google how to do it, like search for your specific questions, and then you'll find forums (like this one!) but with all kinds o' peeps chatting about how best to use certain types of software, and which works best. Then go to http://www.download.com and search for the software by name. There's lots of freeware, but sometimes it's worth paying $20 in order to get a program that doesn't toally suck. (But lots of freeware doesn't suck...so y'just gotta try it out).

Thanks!

That's why I usually end up doing my own. But gotta hand it to TrekCore...they have entire episodes capped. *envy* I have this scattershot collection of scenes hither and thither. My problem is, I plan on making ten caps of a scene and end up doing fifty... Everybody's just so pretty on this show.

I have happy news. I got a job as a research assistant

[Escriba]

Congratulations!

And what will you have to do, if I can ask?

[JadziaKathryn]

Congratulations! That's great news.

I'm going to get to do some computational fluid dynamics. I'm really excited because it will be work in the field I would like to make my career in.
Here are some wiki links that explain a little about what it is.

That looks way cool! Congratulations!

Congratulations! And OH MY!!! Computational fluid dynamics.

We've got a rocket scientist on the site. Any brain surgeons?

[Linda]

Congratulations!

Congratualtions! Bookworm.

Do we have the next generation of NASA scientist here?

[Entilzha]

It would be more like ESA scientist. Congratulation's

This a very good new!

Another source for the science-challenged among us!

Hmm, I wonder how many pages of technobabble could be produced if we shut Elessar, CX, Bookworm, and hth2k in a room for a few hours...
