The Latest from the Chief...

Remember your Official Guild Kitchen Authorization Card to eat, the health department (and REP) is insisting that there must be no question about a "public" kitchen. Only current paid up members WORKING Faire may eat; entry on a ticket does not qualify. If we fail it will be classified as a commercial kitchen, with all the fees, permits, taxes, regulations and 17 pages of definitions that involves. Remember your crafts!

Check the bulletin board site MSN Communities- MacColin early and often for news, and daily during the run.

Yours aye, Steven

Notes From Tournaig

Hogmanay Pix, and need more. More pix on Photobucket.

Wondered about Himself's complaints about the wood quality? A recent project at home reminded me to show you why. It recycled a 2x4 used in a rack carrying stuff to Agoura, and you can see the density of the rings in that piece of Douglas fir versus the one it is sitting on...

Major Updating needs review.
Latest Pictures from Timeline need feedback, and some more pix, since for many parts I can't carry the camera. Teardown '07 pictures are on Teardown07. Most pictures are being posted at 640 x 480 now, which needs review and feedback.

Please give feedback about MacColin.com. PLEASE send the roof pictures!

Tournaig Tournaig Household Pictures are linked on my Home Domain directly, as well as from the MacColin pix page. I am trying to get pages for all the Grad Flaith households, and experimenting with page approaches. Feedback is needed. I have had four emails that showed me some one read it and hope for more. The collapsing approach used below needs a yea or nay.

The MacColin Basic Guide has information you are required to know, and much of the basic information aggregated in the past 20+ years. You can also download Basic Guide in .pdf format.

The 'Clan App' covers more than the address for the Seannachie so one is needed for each member, including kids.
It covers contact information (we need to add more for this), legal, and medical information, including date of birth for each, which allows the chief to answer questions like "How many kids/minors/adults do you have?" from Faire, and updating for Pikemitsfa (under age is no dues, but insurance is required for any alive).

ID Project needs a clear, small 150x150 pixel picture of each face, kids included just like apps, that will read when printed by a b&w printer so we have a reference. We also need some for members of note and tale, which can help out on our time line, so others can tie some loose ends together. The Marks Registry pdf is better for learning existing marks.
You know how to do an address update, and this way we are a current as possible.
Timeline, and Warrants are at a standstill.

The Outline of Links of the sets of links will help with where to look and link to them.
In the Outline use the Find function (most browsers use ctl-F) and look for a related term, like "lyric" which will also find lyrics, and once you are in the area, follow the outline tree up. REF07 I 4 vii d 2 is the outline location, so click the address, and scroll to I (Scot) 4 (Social graces) vii (music) d (other) 2 (Lyrics) and start doing the old right-click open in other window on each one that looks likely. Some links are old (these are the most useful sites I have found in the past years, over 4000 links, and some die every month) or slow, or are limited traffic. Try surfing these links, there is more stuff related to our interests in these than you can read in a year. And if you find another good one, let me know, and it will be added for the rest of us to use.
