(...) Rather than cropping an edge of the image, I would suggest sampling the resolution down and padding the other edges with white in stead. That way, you don't loose any part of the original image. Fredrik (24 years ago, 9-Jul-00, to lugnet.publish, lugnet.events)

Hey everybody... Just curious as to if there will be any formal get-together while at Kidvention. I understand that people will be spaced out over a few days. If Friday and Saturday will be big days, we can have something on both of them if possible (...)

Does the printer pause for a few seconds every inch or (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jul-00, to lugnet.publish, lugnet.events)

Greetings from California! I'm currently at Mike Poindexter's, and this evening we worked on printing out high quality 17x22 posters on glossy photo paper. I have a slight problem, which I just can't place. I'm planning on giving Suzanne Rich a call (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jul-00, to lugnet.publish, lugnet.events) !

Thanks to everyone who replied via email trying to help out. I'll be posting (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.events) !

MIBO is a very clever construction. However unless Jin Sato writes a book about it there will be no official instructions (his homepage actually seems to have a picture of a book, although in japanese). See more at: (URL) pictures he has published (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.events)

(...) Yep, and thanks from ldraw.org too. The four of us exhibitors really appreciate the opportunity to come out and demonstrate LDraw to the people attending Kidvention. We hope it will be a success. Thanks! -Tim (24 years ago, 7-Jul-00, to lugnet.events)

I'd like to offer our thanks in advance for all of you who are contributing your inspiration and creativity to the Kidvention, which is kicking off at LEGOLAND in Carlsbad tomorrow. So to the members of LDraw, GMLTC, and BayLUG, thank you -- we hope (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jul-00, to lugnet.events)

Hey... I've been talking with a representative from Lego about getting parts for a MIBO dog to build at the Kidvention (LDraw display) and she told me that it is possible to obtain them. I sent Jin an email about a week ago and haven't gotten a (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.events)

(...) Well, the phrase "or Train Club" was actually added as a second thought. It first simply had said, "Find or start a LEGO Users Group in your area," but after learning that LEGO is promoting the idea of "LEGO Train Club" on their Kidvention (...)
