That's right. Dink Squad is back. Reconstructed and revamped by yours truly. Check out http://www23.brinkster.com/snowcrystal/dinksquad/ to get a glimpse. For those VERY interested, this site is Open Source, so you can see the actual code behind the pages by clicking the link "See the source code!" on the bottom of the pages. Enjoy. Don't forget to send your pictures to me.

Cool.

How about using Tymo's one he posted a little while ago? And the ones in chat stats?

By the way, the term "Open Source" is a registered certification mark with a precise meaning: http://www.opensource.org/docs/definition.html

I liked the thumbnails in the old version too.

I'll put up Timo's and the chat stat pics.

About open source, that's just stupid. It shouldn't be possible to register terms like that. It's like saying "Oh, let's register the term "warm meal" and say that it's only allowed to call a meal warm if it's above, say 60°C. It's stupid, and I defy it. Besides, it doesn't say it's illegal to use the term in the way you wish. It just says that in order to comply with THEIR terms, you must do as they say. I don't say my site is compatible with the OSI Open Source definition.

"Come eat at our place! We serve warm meals™ here"

And about the thumbnails.. well... I'm too lazy for it. If someone feels like doing it and sending it to me, I'll put it up, but the whole idea about this page was to make it as simple as possible to update (I only need to edit one file to make it all work), so having to make thumbnails... nah.

I forgot to put my name in the email, if the email of my picture did indeed work, I sent the picture of the guy chugging orange juice.

I mentioned the official "Open Source" definition simply because you capitalized it. I still think it is a good idea because that avoid confusion - eg .NET is not "Open Source" but "Shared Source", which means you can barely do anything but reading it.

Maybe ASP provides a builtin way to make thumbnails from big pictures, that could avoid you doing them by hand.

I also remember of 2 photos published by WC for the "Guess who's that" contest or something - featuring Nexis and Dukie. I can e-mail them if you wish.

I think my source is open source because I show the source code of my files to the world, and i have no license saying that people don't have a right to use it, look at it, reuse it, etc.

And I think it'd be right to ask them if it's okay, before we put their pictures up.

You could put up that picture I posted on off topic phoenix. The topic was "Pictures".

Actually everybody should give you explicit rights to use their picture

It's not the same without the surveys.
