Title: Another skin abducted by aliens ?
Post by: S.Z.Craftec on March 23, 2004, 12:06:24 PM
OK, it looks like I am forced to ask in here... I sent few PMs as well as few e-mails, but still got no response from no one...

It's been two weeks since I sent my latest skin "TERMINAL-0010" to Alwil... I don't know in what stage is whole procedure right now...

I know you Alwil guys are very busy, but all I need is one short, brief e-mail or pM saying:

"Skin looks like sh!t... we won't publish it..." or maybe something like this...
"Skin is OK, we will publish it as soon as it gets possible..."

Can I get an answer from someone, please...

One more time, preview is in attachment...

I guess Vlk is just too busy with other stuff at the moment. I'm sure he'll respond as soon as possible.

In my personal opinion, there's no reason for not publishing it.

Thanks Igor, your words always makes me happy. I know that Vlk is probably very, very busy at the moment, can't blame him... he works so hard on this product...

I just wanted to hear from others too, what do they think of this skin... users and also other Alwil team members...

NOTE: Don't publish version that I sent to Vlk 2 weeks ago. I have found small GFX issues, and I fixed them all in latest version of that skin. When you guys decide you wanna publish it, let me know and I'll send you final version of "Teminal-0010" skin... thanks !
Cheers !

Although it is not so beautiful as my minimalist suggestion  ;D  it makes me feel back to my origins in DOS, terminal, green videos  8)
Very good indeed.
Sasha, with your free time, do not stop making us happy with new skins  8)

Very nice, Sasha.   :)  As an old-timer (I go back even before DOS, first office computer was a CP/M Osborne), it sure brings back the "good old days", and if it's officially adopted and made available I might well grab it for my default.

Keep up the great work, buddy!

I knew that you are going to find one for yourself my friend, sooner or later... I'm glad that you like this one...

Still no respond from Alwil guys, it's nothing like they don't like this skin, but I'm sure they don't have enough time to answer. Every single time when I sent them my skins, Vlk used to send me e-mail immediately. I know that they will respond soon...

Untill then, skin is available for download from my server. If you like it, you can keep it, if not, just delete it... here we go:

EDIT:

SORRY FILE REMOVED FROM MY PERSONAL WEB SPACE. SKIN IS AVAILABLE NOW IN AVAST SKIN DOWNLOAD SECTION... Thanks !

Thats a great skin!
Thanx too all that make all this work around this great program.

In this forum I found skins, help, other friends that like me concern about pc-related questions, etc.

This forum is awesome and probably the best!

Sasha,
Why am I getting a 404 error when I try to get your new skin? ???

Which one Bob ? Be more specific...

Btw, Nippon skin is not out yet... Vlk is in USA, so I guess we have to wait till he's back in Czech Republic. Maybe it would be much faster if I take a ride from here to USA and give him CD with my new skin in personal, hehe  ;D

Nothing is too difficult when it comes to pleasing our Guru...  ;D

Long Live Vlk ! Long live Alwil ! Looooooooong live avast!

P.S. 4 days ago I asked my good friend in Croatia to install avast! free edition to my parent's PC. Finally they are protected with great antivirus too.

Any advice guys what else should be set in settings to work properly considering they are still on Dial-up connection ?

Thanks !

Not that bad as avast updates are incremental.
You can choose both updates as automatic. You won't break your brandwidth because of that. VPS updates will take 20 seconds  ;)

I already spoked to my father by the phone and I set all those settings for him. I also set both updates to AUTOMATIC. Today, he told me that updates are not so big and don't take too much time to download them... that's good considering they are still on Dial-up connection...

Oh my... Dial-up... when I remember what horror that was... I don't wanna remember... Now I'm so lucky to have Hi-Speed internet connection and I'm so happy. I'm paying little bit more though, but that's the price we have to pay for luxury I guess... Anyway, I need fast connection 'cause sometimes I have to fix some software problems for our customers remotely somewhere far in Canada and that requires fast connection...

Cheers !

Sasha,
I just finished doing an update on my other computer Win98 SE SP 1.5
That computer only has dialup and I thought the update would never finish.
I was originally planning to change this computer back over to dialup to save some money cause cable is fairy expensive.  I think I'll just eat less and keep the highspeed. There's a big differnce between 56K and 3Meg.
Title: Re:Another skin abducted by aliens ?
Post by: CharleyO on May 16, 2004, 07:49:38 AM

Hmmm ... bob, it may be that you are just too spoiled by highspeed!    ;)  

Anyway, I am still on 56k dial-up with a usual 52k connection and my avast updates usually take less than one minute. I'm also using W98SE fully patched & updated ... along with IE6.    :D


Title: Re:Another skin abducted by aliens ?
Post by: bob3160 on May 16, 2004, 04:36:38 PM
CharleyO,
You are right. Spoiled rotten with this cable connection from Comcast.
It's rated at a top speed of 3meg. That's a heck of a lot faster than the 49.3k that I have on the dialup connection.
When we moved out here to Gods country, New Mexico 'The Land of Enchantement' I thought I'd be stuck with dial-up forever.
