CAP Weebles?

Where do you get those little CAP Weeble guys at the bottom of some of the messages?

You know what I am talking about? The little round...avatar I think you call them...

They came from the great and wonderful Tedda when there was CivilAirPortal.com.  He made them for a bunch o' members.

Some folks steal them and modify them.  Some folks steal them outright.  ::shakes fist::

Well, I think they are just cool as anything - and look like a lot of work too to get all those little ribbon racks done!

He is Master rated in Photoshop.  Mad skill.  I'll post the ones that I've collected soon.

[Pylon]

Tedda, who is indeed Master rated in Photoshop Affairs, creates these nifty custom avatars.  Once referred to as "Portal People" when CivilAirPortal's doors were open, Tedd now referrs to them as "peeps"

There are several different peeps showcased here, but as was already said, most of the peeps/avatars/portal-people were created custom for one particular person's use.

I'm missing some of the non-CAP-uniform ones.  Others available at aforementioned link, but here's a view of most of the CAP/USAF uniforms at once.

Who's stealing and modifying anything?

Dunno...if you see one, lemme know, ok?   

[Stonewall]

This one is me by the way...

[Chaplaindon]

Not being "master rated in Photoshop," how does one modify them?

There's one I like, but it needs a chaplain's badge on the BDU along with wings.

[flipper]

This one is me by the way...

Let me see if I can guess that one... Security Police, Tech Sgt? (or could me the more current Security Forces)

I don\'t remember when they un split the field, but when I was in - they had been Security and Law Enforcement...

[mikeylikey]

Those rock.

Mine was modified from someone elses, I simply made the 1Lt stripes into TFO

At least my weeble knows how to read the manual unlike you 

Will not extend in length on all sides below an invisible line drawn parallel to the ground at the bottom edge of the shirt collar at the back of the neck.

Cannot touch the bottom of the collar... My weeble is clearly within the regulations

Well given the lack of a neck, it is clearly possible for it to be in violation.   :angel:

If a line is invisible, how can you see it? And which version of 39-1 are you looking at this weeks or last weeks versions? If you are looking at last months, it's been changed by three revision/supplimental letters from National

The line IS invisible, but due to the superpowers you have related to your Spaatz, you can see it.  The other people here can't.  They may THINK that they can, but they can't.  I can see it because I am invisible.

Finally...someone who believes that I am indeed invisible.

 Lots of people believe in invisibility; considerable consumption of alcohol is a common prerequisite.

Well, when I get the time, I think I might try and edit one of these little guys to see if I can make decent use of PhotoShop too...

Can\'t be a bad skill to get good at, can it.

Adobe (formerly Macromedia) Fireworks is a decent basic image editing tool to start with.  They have a 30-day trial available on the Adobe web site.  It is a little less intimidating than Photoshop, although less capable in various ways.

Can any of you newer folks guess which is mine? Quiet, Christie and Horning!

"I had ONE pint, I swear.  One.  "


It was a really BIG one...

An American one.  The big ones are Imperial pints.      (I wonder if pints are bigger in Texas?)

Plus, I've always been invisible.

But there's no telling what kind of trouble there could be with all these weebles wandering around.

He has a right to not "play nice"... it is, after all, his work that he's gonna take.

Although I would be interested to see what kind of "portal person" Tedda would make for Mr. Hayden

Does anyone know where the weebles orignially came from?  I've seen them before, like on MSN messenger, but I've been looking all over for the originals.

No, but I have had to make many, many "accommodations" for what I develop.  Even when my stuff is strictly compliant code (and it almost always is).  What?  IE not meet standards?  SHOCKING!  It is very, very frustrating.  I have a lot of stuff that we'd like to roll out, but it doesn't work consistently enough in the Evil Browser yet.  See below:

I don't think they make the CAP weight and grooming standards and should be removed.

The h/w standards don't cover someone who is only two-three inches tall.

It's the proper name of IE censored for cadet eyes.   

I use Programmers Notepad and sometimes Dreamweaver for the pretty colors.  Rarely WYSIWYG, but Microsoft hasn't quite got this interweb thing down yet, especially the part about CSS and standards.

So as not to invoke the ire of someone I haven't yet physically met, and not to violate copyrights or anything, I'm considering Plan B -- stick around long enough to ingratiate myself to Moff Tedda, or at least to develop an association, and hope for something in my e-stocking some Christmas sometime.   

I had asked someone 'behind the scenes' about the story on the weebles.  When I was told how they were given out, it didn't feel right for me to mock one up myself.  Of course, everyone can do whatever turns their crank.  But I think I'll let it go.  They are neat to look at.

V/R,

Don't know if that fist was shaken at me...I *was* granted permission for mine, but not from Tedda, so I apologize for any inadvertent improprieties.

Well you didn't steal mine, and obviously you didn't anger the Tedda, so everything must be ok.     You'd know if Tedda was mad at you...you'd see things like billboards, posters, and web graphics with incriminating pictures of you, generated in Photoshop.
