  Re: bmp->jpg?
 
(...) A simple way that I use is the image viewer program ( available at (URL) )ACDSee. You can open the image in one format and then save it as another... that simple. (25 years ago, 23-Sep-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  bmp->jpg?
 
Calling all PC/Windows gurus .... Could someone point me to a cheap/free/fast/good utility that I (er actually my boss) could use to convert Windows bit-mapped files (.BMP) to JPEGs? Thanks, John C. (25 years ago, 22-Sep-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: New LEGO Corp Websites?
 
(...) Yeah, it's very messy. And until we see more tlds (I'm actually a proponent of allowing _any_ tld, with maybe a five-character limit), it's not like there's very much benefit for us involved. Ah well. Anyway, there does seem to be a (...) (25 years ago, 22-Sep-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: New LEGO Corp Websites?
 
(...) Hmm. That's actually disheartening. Since NS is primary name service for .org, I had -hoped- that they kept their whois service up with their dns service. Large, global databases make searching easier. :-) (...) Yes, I see. I have used (...) (25 years ago, 22-Sep-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: The Nugator Company Update - LEGO piece and set sales
 
(...) Ooops! Missed that when I looked at the page... Thought it said simply $5 an image... DaveE (25 years ago, 21-Sep-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: The Nugator Company Update - LEGO piece and set sales
 
(...) They do say "starting as low as $5 a image". Which sounds pretty fair for a lot of things -- I can make you some nice text with a few photoshop effects in about 90 seconds. (25 years ago, 21-Sep-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: The Nugator Company Update - LEGO piece and set sales
 
(...) For web pages, :) yep. You can pump pages out a lot faster with Front Page than coding by hand... The pricing they list for web pages is probably pretty reasonable given that they're probably wanting to do people's home pages, etc., rather (...)

  Re: DAT Explorer v. 0.6.1
 
(...) Dude, you're ahead of me, I was going to suggest that as an optimization... so the more we pioneers explore these houses, the faster it will run for those who follow in our footsteps! Cool. Any chance for rendering slices of Datsville itself? (...) (25 years ago, 18-Sep-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: A UNIX directory/path question
 
Todd Lehman: (...) This warning is only appropriate when you are working directly with a Unix file system.

  Re: DAT Explorer v. 0.6.1
 
(...) Do you save the rendered images permanently, or just cache them while a single user is there? I'll have to go test this right now myself. -John Van (25 years ago, 18-Sep-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: DAT Explorer v. 0.6.1
 
(...) It's running on FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE on a dual PII 333. The bandwidth for the explorer is in the noise compared to the scans. The CPU however could be a problem if several people render at once. It won't be a problem unless it gets slashdotted (...) (25 years ago, 17-Sep-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: DAT Explorer v. 0.6.1
 
(...) This is SO cool! Todd needs to put this on the resources page if it isn't already. Thanks, Kev. Much better use of your time (1) than resizing images and editing out tears and cropping blank edges. (2) This ROCKS. So you have the render engine (...)

(...) :-D No no no, a "bot" like a script or agent of some sort. I was thinking something along the lines of a script which scans LUGNET messages and generates a report based upon possible typos.

  A UNIX directory/path question
 
OK, here's one that I cant figure out but is probably elementary to you guys. I am working on my next Lego site and need to create a directory structure like; ---technica | -header | -index | | | 8800 | | If I am in the 8800 directory I know I can (...)
