Map is set up! Well sort of...

Post by shaddock »

I got the whole map laid out in my garage right now. The only parts not flat, but crawling up the garage door, is a 6" piece of maps D1-D4.
WOW that's a big ole' map! And it looks great, too.
It's only temporary but it'll be there till Saturday.


OK I got the pics to upload!

Sorry I've tried a few times to upload the pics but Internet Explorer keeps crashing on me. I'm not sure how to bypass the problem. I did try setting the Matrix Forums as a trusted URL, but to no avail.

shaddock, you might see if the image will upload to another website, such as the first one that comes up if you search for "post image". If that works, you can just post the URL here.

Yeah I suppose I could try Dropbox. Tomorrow we'll give it a go. Internet Explorer keeps going out on me. I'm going to do a scan, defrag, updates, etc. Maybe that will help. The strange thing is my link to Yahoo forums is down too?!?!

Careful and don't forget about the maps and park your car on the world. Those pot holes across the Atlantic and Pacific may do some real damage. [:D]

When my package came my wife asked who it was for. She was hoping it was something Christmacy for her. As I took the wrapping off she saw the books and saw it was Matrix World in Flames. She said, "OMG, don't you already have enough WIF stuff?" As I took the maps out I replied, "Look! New wall paper!". I should have had a camera because of the look on her face.
Flowers will be sent today.

Hey Erik, I seem to remember you (or someone else at the office) saying you guys weren't able to set the whole thing up. It was kinda nice to brag to my wife, that I was probably the first person in the world to set up the whole map. For some reason she was not as impressed as I thought she ought to be [:'(]
