The Latest from the Chief...

The Lady of this House passed away this morning (07/10/08) early, quietly in her sleep at her nursing home in Palm Springs.

Arraingments are pending. This weekend The Family will be going into offical mourning. I will be there, The Tanist'e will not.

If you thought of not coming to Timeline at Fort MacArthur, this might spur you to attend. We'll do a little something Saturday evening after closing.

This is a 24 hour a day period event. Brian's posting covers what you need and need to know about the event, other than it is a lot of fun and we win trophys.

Check the bulletin board site MSN Communities- MacColin early and often for news, and daily during the run. You can join it to monitor events and communicate with other members more easily. Remember to sign your posts and make sure you have identified your user name to help me know who is who and keep the spam out.
  Please spread the word to your regular clan correspondents you phone or email.

If you have any questions please email me, ColinChief@hotmail.com.

Yours aye, Steven

Notes From Tournaig

Recently Updated/Added pages

Christal's Memorial at Timeline Pictures A begining
Timeline 08 has been added.
Chief's family pictures A begining
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 recycled 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 need feedback, and some more pix, since for many parts I can't carry the camera. Most pictures are being posted at 640 x 480 now, which needs review and feedback. Now at about 10MB, please say which to keep, which pictures are not wanted, and if work is needed, Faire 08 takes too long to load now.

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.
