No, you've mistaken what I suggest. I'm saying run a type of "proxy" server , more technically known as a port redirection.

Well, depending on how access was blocked, it could be possible to re-route your connection through another server (posing as say, a web request), then relay it to the AIM servers. Yes, it sounds complicated, but it's do-able.

FAQ / Board Issues / question about PMs
« on: November 19, 2004, 11:54:45 am »
My understanding of the phpBB PM system (after extensive testing, seriously) is this:
1) You send a message
2) Until the person reads it, it is in your Outbox
3) Once read, the message is placed in your Sent box
EDIT: This is what happens when Trolan and I get bored at work

Completely Off-Topic / The Official Sig Makers Thread...Part 2.

I do all the design work for it in Photoshop, then I use Animation Shop to put it together. To keep filesize down you can do a couple things....
- Plan your sig so it compresses well, keep it simple (at least around the animated area)
- Colours, obviously the less the better. Just remember that using 128 colours is only going to reduce filesize by 1/8th compared to 256.
- Keep the animation simple using each frame wisely.
- Morphs are cool, but waste file size.

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Jenkins/lyrics

Make sure to record the Tonight Show with Jay leno on NBC tomorrow (Tuesday). Stephan and Arion will be playing as Vanessa's back up band during her performance of "White Houses" at the end of the show.
I went to the show in Oakland over the weekend. I got a few pictures, which i will post later this week. The show was great! The crowd was weird! I saw sooo many girls with armpit hair, it was very not Vegas. heh As SJ said at the beginning of the show, "Welcome to the United States of Northern California." Quite literally, it was a tree hugger event. It was all good though, 3eb hometown show you can't beat it! I was pleasantly surprised to see the show turn out so well knowing that they hadn't played in forever.
I got a chance to talk to SJ after the show and he said that the band is diligently working on the next album. It's going to "be like the first 2 Police albums and the traditional 3eb kind of tunes will be on the second disk if at all." Kids, go get the Police records - I must do the same to get an idea what to expect. heh
I'm also happy to report that SJ is alive and kicking after a rumble with a toothless crack head before the show. Apparently, SJ witnessed a guy being attacked by a crack addict that was high and so he jumped in to save the day. He said his kick boxing classes finally paid off and basically gave the guy a beat down until cops arrived. No, it wasn't a celebrity guest appearance on Bum Fights. heh
Stephan gave me and my new hubby a ride back to our hotel after the show and I got to hear a rough demo of a song - just SJ and a git-tar. I don't have a title, but the chorus sang about not running with cowards. It sounded like an anthem for being your own person and not a clone of anyone else. I liked it. Not sure if it will be a 3eb song, a sold SJ song or what - SJ wasn't sure either.
As you can well imagine, I was pretty well in la-la land after that, in complete disbelief of the night, so I didn't really think to get more scoop for you all. I will let you know more as I hear things....
Take care! Happy Turkey Day next week!

I've always liked the dollar coins better. Not sure why, but that's not important.

This is true. But still, he might feel left out ;-)
