I commissioned SpazzyKoneko for a dangly as a gift for a friend and paid upfront for it. This was a little more than two months ago and seems to have cut off all contact ever since.
I've tried to contact her thru several venues (emails, notes, etc) with no response - and have heard from acquaintances of mine that she has been spotted as recently a week ago.
Now,I know she's probably a really good person, and rather talented as well. First, I hope she's ok; secondly, I hope that if someone knows her might ask her, on my behalf, not to forget about the commission since it was a b-day gift for a friend.
Thanks in advance. |

How the HELL do you write a letter to someone who's been keeping you waiting for three-four months shy of two years for a two-part commission, that... you don't give a fig about anymore - you don't want your money back - you just want to you know, float on? No bad blood, no nothing, I ain't gonna report them to this comm or anywhere else either.
How the HELL do you write something like that and not (I repeat: not) have it sound like you're attempting to guilt the artist into actually doing it? At the end of my rope here, everything I've thought of/written sounds like a greasy excuse for 'pity art'. |

Amadameus just notified me that he's not gonna be able to give me the ride i'd need to the campsite!
i know it's a crunch, but if anyone can give me a ride to the campgrounds, i'd really apreciate it. i was set to pay him half his gas bill for the ride, so i'm extending that as well as my original offer to give first dibs on the breakfast i'm gonna prepare.
i live in Des Plaines, only about 55 miles east of the campgrounds. i CAN get to a landmark if you'd prefer that.
please, PLEASE! ANYONE! i need a ride!
if you think you can give me a ride, email me at celt-wolf@hotmail.com |

| Clean Cut LJ layout header issue |
[Jul. 24th, 2008|08:45 pm] |
Hi :) I'm using the CSS script for the Clean Cut LJ layout and would like to customise it, I'm quite a newbie to CSS in general, I've spent a while attempting to get a header in, and it has worked, but the problem is it isn't centered it tends to go too much to the right for my liking, as my LJ currently shows. Is there a way to stop this? Any help would be appreciated and rewarded with a lot of praise and credit!! Thanks! :) Oh.. the script is below in the cut:

Normally, I'd say black goes with anything.
( But it doesn't seem to go with the suit. )
Also, the Starbucks Vivannos are kinda disgusting. |

More a proofreading issue than a grammatical one, but I can't resist posting this excerpt from an otherwise pretty good online story. The mods must have been asleep.
'with a slightly dazed expression of happiness hoovering on her face'
Sounds painful. |

| How to locate a Celty |
[Jul. 24th, 2008|02:01 am] |
I liked Amadameus's idea to give a brief overview of one's self for the benefit of those who've yet to meet me. And I'm pretty sure that would include all of you whom I will be meeting for the first time at the camping trip. So I think it will behoove me to give a little bit of an introduction so I'm not so much of a stranger when we all meet.
Online Name: Celtwolf, or Celty if you want a shorter version [I pronounce Celt like Kelt]
Common Name: William, though I prefer to be called Will
Sex: Male. and I prefer males as well!
Height: 6; even
Weight: 332 lbs [yeah, I'm fat. sue me]
Fur Color: plain brown. i wear it medium/long.
Description: I'm a chubby guy, but generally pleasant as far as looks and behavior. I'm up for trying anything you guys throw my way, so bring it on!
Common signs: I'm gonna be everywhere, trying everything of interest. but if I find a quiet moment, I'll be bringing a book and some origami paper to fold. if anyone wants a couple origami lessons, I'd be glad to oblige.
Response to Hugs: I GIVE the hugs! Ah am tha HUGGLE NINJA!
Behavior: I'm mostly a loner, but this summer I'm trying to expand my horizons and meet people. That's why I'm attending this trip! So if you see me, say hi and talk to me a bit! I may be quiet and standoffish at first because I don't know anyone, but I'm really a warm and loving guy when I get to know people!
I'm also going to bring some tabletop games for everyone to play. among the list are:
LCR
Lunch Money [and either pennies or M&Ms to play with]
Gloom
ZOMBIES!!! [maybe even an expansion pack]
Other Notes: yes, I'm also bringing my family's dutch oven, a tool that can bake, fry, broil, and slow roast just about anything. I'm planning on making a breakfast in it, and that means I'm making enough for about 6 people. and it's gonna be gooooood |

I was sitting in an auto shop this morning, waiting for the mechanic to arrive to inspect my car. I was reading over my insurance paperwork to pass the time, and a few things caught my eye:
Motor vehicle crashes are the No. 1 killer of teens.
I'm not really sure how this should be worded, or even if it's incorrect to begin with, but it seems to me that there is a mismatch of plural and singular in this sentence. Is it correct as it is?
75 percent of teens see peers driving fatigued.
My first reaction is to wonder what fatigued item or person these peers are driving. Hehe. It should say, "... driving while fatigued," I think. :)
This last one was more amusing than annoying:
Turn your lights on at twilight to make it easier for other cars to see you.
Nevermind the fact that cars can't actually see anything. LoL. |

| How to spot an Amadameus |
[Jul. 23rd, 2008|03:02 pm] |
Okay, so the LAFF camping trip is coming up fast. In the spirit of things, I've put together a little mini-con description so that I can be identified. And that's one less awkward "um, who are you?" introduction you have to make.
Scientific Name: Tigerus Anthrocus
Common Name: Amadameus, or Amad if you're in a hurry.
Sex: Yes please! Oh, I mean Male.
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 160lbs
Fur Color: Blonde-brown, sloppy short haircut
Description: I'm a skinny bugger - dashingly handsome and with tiger fur on the inside. I'll be bringing face paint, but be warned: I haven't ever actually put my real face on, so it may not look that good the first few times. If you have experience you're welcome to help!
Common signs: A black briefcase that holds my art supplies, blue jeans with a hand-done flower patch on the knee, camo-colored bandanna, green German military field jacket, big grin.
Response to Hugs: No thanks, I'm kind of an uptight dude. A handshake should do fine.
Behavior: I'm pretty outgoing and I always like to meet new people. Just come on over and say Hi!
I don't drink, I know that this camping trip is BYOB but I am a dry kind of guy. I like screwdrivers, but hold the vodka.
If you have any kind of affinity for philosophy, then I'll talk your head off. I love it!
Other Notes: I'm bringing supplies for badges, and depending on demand I'm going to do them to cover the cost of my food and gas bills in getting to camp. If I make an (unexpected) profit I'll donate it to LAFF.
It's important to note that I use badges and art trades to experiment with new art mediums and to try improving my techniques - so it may be in colored pencil, it may be in marker, it may be in charcoal. If you have a preference I'll try it, but this is my official disclaimer: I am not Likeshine, I am not even LuckyPony. I suck, I just like drawing. If you want a cheap badge (like $10 or less) then I'm your furry, but if you want a production piece like you find at AnthroCon, you won't find one here.
I'll edit this later to add photos, as I'm doing my own little badge. Feel free to make your own, since I think there are going to be like 60-odd furs at the camping trip. See you there!
Vodka and cherries,
-Amadameus |

The background of this problem are extensions to the detection engine which provide new ways of detecting malware.
I think I know what they mean. I'm torn between
"the back ground is......" and
"the cause of the problem is xxx running in the background"
But I don't think it really matters. It just made me read and re-read a couple of times. |

This is Neko, my four month old kitten. He is absolutly adorable and he is always making me laugh! When he is not sleeping he is playing! He now has his big sister (a six year old Calico Cat) playing with him too! It is fun to watch the two of them. We are a happy family. |

As many of you know, one of my dearest friends ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) animecat, someone who has stood by me through thick and thin in the past few years, suffered a terrible tragedy recently in her life when her brother was involved in an incident with the police and subsequently shot and killed.
Now, because of the circumstances, funeral arrangements have incurred additional expenses. What this means is that a significant financial strain is put on the family, especially AC, who is also trying to afford a wedding in October and as a result, is short on money.
http://animecat.livejournal.com/206054.html
This is your chance to help one of the kindest furries out there during her difficult times. Please spare a moment and offer some aid. Even if its just a couple bucks. Every bit helps.
Thank you. |

Problem: When I open the community up in IE7, between the entry's date and linkbar there is a a gap/whitespace. I'm not sure how to fix it.
