Important message for the Cape 2011 participants...

Symon · July 07, 2011, 09:57:21 PM

I now have the ftp server up for all of our pictures and movies.

I am currently uploading all of the pictures (around 15GB) onto the server, so please be patient while that happens. I will hold off on uploading the video files until I have converted them into avi format so everyone can watch them.

The DVD will be uploaded once I have finished editing it (no pressure on that one!).

Can everyone please send me an email - symon@myswag.org so that I can have your email address. Once I have that I can email you the logon details (and step by step instructions, just for you jk) for the ftp server.

Wasn't a participant (sniff) but I'll be in that please! Love those DVD's of Cape shenanigans.

I would like to have a look as well, it will help me with the 22 days wait before we head off to the cape.

Can you send to wartim@tpg.com.au as well please?

Symon · July 08, 2011, 06:57:08 AM

At this stage I'll only give access to participants as there may be some images that people would not like to share in the public domain. Once these have been filtered out and I have re-sized things (so my server doesn't get hammered) I'll make a public link available.

So sorry guys, please be patient.

You need to send me an email Mark!

Mark or Symon, after 12 month build up to this fantastic trip, and then getting snipets of info during the trip including a few teaser pics, I like most of the other members of Myswag are very keen to read what is bound to be an enthralling report. At this stage are you able to tell us if the report will be posted on the forum, or will we have to wait for a magazine article or video?

Symon · July 08, 2011, 11:47:06 AM

Mark is the man who will be doing up the trip report, so keep the pressure on him

Once I have the DVD completed I will upload the vob files for people to download and burn their own DVD's - there won't be a mail out like last time.

Gunna Do · July 08, 2011, 12:05:23 PM

Any clues Mark? Don't keep us in suspence like this! The waits kill'n me.

McGirr · July 08, 2011, 01:12:30 PM

Symon will email shortly and will do the trip report tomorrow. One more sleep

OK guys I've just got back from camping at Byfield so I'm able to reply to your emails!

I have set up a folder with low resolution versions of the photos for those of you on slow or capped connections, and I am uploading them now - please be patient. For some reason only mine and Kirsty's hi res versions made it to the server, so I am re-uploading everyone else's as well.

Symon · August 03, 2011, 06:42:56 PM

I've just discovered that a lot of the pictures have been deleted off the server (namely Mykio's, duggies and Tim's). I'm guessing someone went cut and paste instead of copy and paste when they downloaded the pics.

I'll re-upload them on the weekend, but can everyone be a bit careful when they download!

duggie · August 04, 2011, 08:57:47 PM

Hi Symon and fellow Myswaggers,
Firstly I must apologise to you all, I am far better off sticking to using a chainsaw than using a computer. There were no photos on my photo file because I did not know how to download them. I am more than capable in keeping up on dirt roads in my old Nissan GQ than I am in keeping up with how to use a computer. But thanks to jclures I have been able to re size and post/download my photos on the site.

Symon · August 04, 2011, 09:00:58 PM

Awesome, thanks duggie.

Downloading now.

Symon · August 05, 2011, 07:07:36 AM

Some good shots in there duggie, I couldn't help but add some captions onto this one -

duggie · August 05, 2011, 07:26:28 AM

Love it Symon, spot on with your captions. It did make for some interesting entertainment.

jk · August 05, 2011, 08:16:46 AM

That's GOLD,

, I'm so glad you didn't put the caption "welder" on my name because that would by an insult to welders the world over. It's yet another fine example of the Myswag Team pulling together to get the job done.
