It seems some of you wish to have a B.Trs street and reef cam webpage. Could be a nice idea and rather simple to do. But first, we need the Boss agreement...sourire
In case Jake says OK, here is how I see this project, case you give me this responsibility, of course.
1) This question concerns Jake. This webpage will have to be permanently updated . I understood once the webpage is installed on Bonaire talk, I can't modify from home direct on Bonaire. I don't know, we could have a monthly updating but it will be a lot of work and organization. Woo, hard to explain, wish you understood what I mean confused. Jake, truly say if it is realizable.
2) The webpage would be a bit different ( but similar ) to the Reff cam dwellers.
I think the easiest would be an alphabethical list of all the B.Trs and you get their pictures, underwater or in the street when clicking on the names. No problem to add new names on the list.
3) This could be only possible if each B.Tr concerned sends his pictures whith his name on a special thread.
4) This will also need a little bit more time and organization to gather the pics.
5) And the most important, this project must be easy to realize for Jake.
Well Boss and folks, your opinion on the matter ?

Martine. If everyone put their picture on their profile, then there is the source of identification. That is how I have recognized some of the divers and gate visitors. You would easily recognize me from my profile pic. LOL

A good idea, but needs a lot of thought and co-operation I think. Annie B.

Annie, I was meaning, every Bter posts his underwater and/or street pictures addind his name. Forget the profile pic, it would be toooooo complicated sommeil
Sure, we'll have the opportunity to fix the detailed later.
Anyway, it may take minimum one month ( maybe two ) to get every body's posts. But I think most have saved their captures somewhere in their puters memory. :o)
I am working tomorrow, so I am saying good night. See your comment tomorrow.

martine, sounds like an aweful lot of work to me!...maybe if everyone could post more than 1 profile pic in their profile...or just a thread for everyone to post their pic on the street cam and reef cam...like say this:

a thread under "everything else" that says:

"March Divers"...and then folks visiting in march can post their pic...jake? and so it goes each month...

Geez, can't sleep, because hubby's snoring !
Cynde, perhaps you are right. This would be a lot of work. I don't know how many B.Ters we are ( Jake only knows ). Webpage conception is very easy, maintenace and constant updating is another story. As you mentioned, the best could be a new Bonaire talk where everybody can post his captured pictures from underwater and/or street cams.

Martine and Cynde. I am sure that this idea was spoken about some time ago with either Olaf or Igor suggesting it. I can't remember exactly who. The problem was how to keep it easily updated. Annie B.

I can hear the cogs turning in Jake's head as we speak. I can also see him throwing his arms up in despair at the thought of more work for him to do. LOL Annie B.

martine and annie, as i work for an internet company and "one" of my jobs is to keep 20 plus pages fresh daily, it is a lot of work, and i can't imagine that jake and linda would have the time to upkeep the page (not only do they have to peruse through our daily drabble on these pages to make sure we are all behaving:-)) keeping an updated photo file would be work work work. what do you think about having a "monthly" thread for folks to post their pics, this way we will know what to look for on land and in the water! speaking of water, got our new emergency signaling kits from DAN today...over the last couple of years we have both lost our whistles and mirrors, so i just decided to replace all and get the safety tubes to boot! we are all ready for our dive on march 28th to the coronado islands! woohoooo!

Thinking well, Cynde, this is the best and easiest idea. Well, it seems it's quiet in the bedroom, I'll make a try, if not, I am ready for the sofa. Need to sleep now, have to be fresh looking ( LOL ) at work tomorrow.
The more I think, the more I am convinced your idea, Cynde, is the best one.
Good night gals, enjoy your sunday. Catch you tomorrow or in five minutes clin

Cynde. Loads of ideas here, but don't know if I can explain properly. We can identify people from their profiles providing the pictures are there.

If we know who is going to the island and when they will be there, when they appear on cam, we just start a visitors thread in community chat. It could be done weekly that way, and no work for Jake or Linda, and anyone can post the pics.

Don't know if I have explained that properly or not. Ideas are rampant, words aren't. Annie B.

That looks pretty good Annie. Great minds are working tonight ! Well, the "Boss" will surely give his opinion coeur
Cynde, where are Coronado islands ? As you possibly know, we plan to return to Bonaire in June, and that is my best new of the month...

Annie, Cynde, I just reread all our posts, and I think we missunderstood.
My idea was to make an ID webpage B.Trs list, including one or two underwater and/or street cam post when clicking on the names, and that's all. Updates would only concern the newbies.

Martine. I knew you would be back. LOL. It's good fun tossing ideas around though. Annie B.

I mean, all the persons, only being B.Trs and pictured on the reef and/or street cam would be listed.
Updating would concern each new B.tr returning from Bonaire and pictured, or "old" B.trs going to Bonaire and pictured for the first time ( my case for instance :o) or perhaps you Annie)
Ugh, my mind is quite confused. Need yo sleep now.
Tomorrow is another day gals.

Well girls, I definitely opted for the sofa, and I truly fall asleep, so night night, catch you tomorrow. Hugs to you both.

Annie, it's 2 pm past and need to sleep, problem is I decided to sleep on the sofa, and I am seated on the sofa when using the puter. You see my problem. Don't know what to do. Let's try typing while lyyiiiiiiiiiiiingggg. Seems to work.

Martine. I understand the problem. We have a laptop here, but we need to get the system networked. I want the network, then I can lay on sofa and Bonaire at the same time. Are we mad or, are we mad. Check out you're email. One should be with you now. I better go to bed now, and you gotta work tomorrow you poor thing. Night night. Annie B. ROTFL.

you gals is KWAZY!!! LOL! not even 7:00PM here! just finished preparing for our midterm exam in celestial navigation next week (michael will be gone, and he knows it all)...argh!...wogga wogga! LOL! Martine, i get your idea now. yes, the newbies would have to be updated...that might be a problem. i like annie's idea of posting visitors for the week or month with profile pics:-) easier for jake and linda whom i am sure are convinced that we are INSANE by now! either that or they think that gremlins have taken over!

ok, this boat is often moored out in the water at this time of night...are they catching a free camping spot? sail around all day on "free air" and then moor up at night?

Sorry to be so late in responding - I was off BT for a couple of days (eek!).

I like whatever solution which does not require more work from me or Linda :-) How's that?

Jake
