Well, the defacement team also did SQL injections and completely annihilated my MySQL database I was using.

The backup I had, had no affiliate links in it whatsoever. But it's ok, I've made a broadcast on a arcade owner site for people to resubmit their site.

As for your penguin games, search is your friend:

Yes she does mate...

She is well happy with her orange and spinning top - she just connected the spinning top to the internet

without any wires or anything - modern technology

...It weren't like that when I were a lad...

I was trying to make an animated gif image of the cat and it is not uploading right as my avatar. The image is the right size but all it shows is the last frame its not showing the animation, any suggestions? I have attached the file.

Great Phil. I love it.

**serandfae** · 06-17-2008, 12:15 AM

I was waiting to see if anyone noticed this -- it's a trick that's been used for centuries -- move your head to either side of the screen looking at this avatar and see what happens....

I like your avatar Cheshire cat!

The eyes!! Nooo, they keep following me

**serandfae** · 06-17-2008, 07:45 PM

^ He got it. I actually used that trick on Uncle Sam, too. It's done by offsetting the eyes slightly, not so you'd notice at a first glance.

I'm still groovin' on Phil's new avatar though. That truly rocks!

**dWhite** · 06-17-2008, 08:46 PM

I must not be able to see optical illusions, but the eyes don't move...

**serandfae** · 06-17-2008, 11:09 PM

No, they don't really move; it's a trick of the mind trying to "correct" facial features in two dimensions that look slightly off. If you look closely, your avatar, Carl's and mine, the eyes are very slightly crossed. But you have to really look to see it; reverse the image and it's easier. That's what makes they eyes appear to follow. No, not everyone sees that particular one. It may have, though I've not looked into it, something to do with whether you're more right or left brained. I've never been able to see anything in those 3-d squiggly posters. I'm not sure why that is. Must be a scam.

**dWhite** · 06-17-2008, 11:56 PM

So I got a cross eyed Uncle Sam?

**serandfae** · 06-18-2008, 12:01 AM

The same thing was done with the Mona Lisa. If you were fortunate enough to have that painting, would you say, "Hey, get that cross-eye-ded" chick off my wall!"?

We're talking about an optical trick that's a centuries-old scam. Trust me, he looks more evil that way.

**Cheshire_cat** · 06-18-2008, 12:56 AM

Thanks for all the compliments, I forgot whose idea it was. I saw it on this thread a while back.

**dWhite** · 06-18-2008, 09:48 AM

I can't see optical illusions or tricks.
