Vegas review finally complete....

[Ozric-Al]

...and exclusively available in the next edition of BOOzine.

Have spent the last 6 hours getting this thing ready as Wimmy wants to get the BOOzine out tomorrow.

@ Wimmy, will have to send it to you when I get to work in the morning mate as it's 35meg! Will send it first thing though.

Now, are we sitting comfortably?

 

[Tom]

I can do a review of Winnipeg for the next boozine

Very cold, and it snowed.

Done

[Tom]

When its -23 outside you don't do much

 

[Ozric-Al]

No pizza delivery there then?

"I'm sorry he's hit an elderly Yak and landed in a Snowdrift Sir".

 

[Tom]

No, but there was a good burger joint in the hotel

 

[Ozric-Al]

Mmmmmmm. Joints and burgers. Heaven!

 

[Wimmy]

Ah good. Ya had me panicking for a mo.

Just waiting for one more thing from one more person. (not Nige).

He knows who he is Big Al

 

[Ozric-Al]

Finally made it to work Wimmy but it looks like my email is down. Has been trying to send a mail for the last 10 mins!

Will keep trying though.

Shabash!

[Wimmy]

If its 35meg it will take a while

 

[Ozric-Al]

That wasn't what I was trying to send mate. The mail that was stuck was a one liner to my boss!

Have created now and just waiting for the doc to attach. Let me know when you get it as I have to leave at 11:30.

Shabash!

OK. It's on it's way now mate. You may have to excuse some of the pics as they were taken on a camera phone (although they look pretty good considering).

Shabash!

[cynic-al]

how the chuff did you get it to 35mb?

I have just done a 16 page brochure with a lot of graphics and photos in word and it only comes to 18mb!

Two tips i have picked up to reduce the size of the document;

1. Don't paste images in, use insert>picture>from file

2. Turn off fast save in words settings

 

[Ozric-Al]

Dunno mate. I friggin' hate word as it's a total pain in the ass!

The pictures are simply cut and pasted from photoeditor so that may explain it. It's also 9 pages long (almost nico-esque in it's unedited form ).

Shabash!

Right Mr Wim.

Due to my 7meg mail limit you should now have parts: -

1;
2;
3.1;
3.2;
3.3;
4.1;
4.2;
4.3;
and 4.4.

Let me know if you haven't got any via text if you would as I am now leaving the office for the day. Ta.

Shabash!

[Ozric-Al]

Have sent 4.4 to your fiatboo account as I got a delivery failure on blueyonder. Thinks I must have maxed out your account!

[Ozric-Al]

Well your system doesn't seem to want to accept 4.4 mate. may be cause your mailbox is full.

Send me a text when you have cleared them and I'll try again.

Shabash!

Luckily i have a day off tomorrow, i think i am going to need it...

I hope my email isn't going to be 35mb...lol

[Ozric-Al]

LOL! Wimmy did text me earlier to say that it's 15 pages, over half the mag!

Think he's cutting it down as I'd just copy/pasted from true images. Taking off one photo reduced one of the mails by 3.9meg!
