Webheads' Seasons Greetings!

 

Ghosts from Christmases past ...

We've done things like this before:

2005-6: http://webheads.pbwiki.com/MerryHappy2005

2004-5: http://webheads2004.buzznet.com/

Congratulations Worldbridges http://worldbridges.net">http://worldbridges.net on a successful year-end Webcastathon - can't wait to hear the podcasts! and happy new year one and all - happiness can only happen in PEACE, so this is a wish for peace for you this year and all to come - Vance

Webheads have begun posting their greetings messages at http://www.chinswing.com/

 

All you have to do is, ... let's see, visit the site, sign up, download the client, download Microsoft.NET Framework 2.0, the missing part of the Vista operating system from Microsoft in case you're still running XP, continue downloading the client, restart, log in again, hit the record button, and then LOCATE the record window (very important, mine was behind all my other windows ... once you know where to look, no problem, but meanwhile, nothing seems to happen ... ) and, then, record your message. Once you're to that point, it's simple.

 

 

 

The direct URL for posting your greeting is this one:

http://www.chinswing.com/pages/discussion.aspx?id=836ca382-b6c7-4190-8bf5-752f5c92c28e

Happy New Year, from DafEnjoy!!! My New Year's puzzle

I could not post the whole puzzle here but I was able to post it to one of my wikis (I guess the problem is pbwiki new text-rich editor interface :-(

 

Wishing you all Merry Christmas, Eid Mubarak, and a Happy New Year!

 

I'm using WiFi connection from the lobby in my hotel here in Beirut, Lebanon ...

 

I arrived here in Beirut a few days ago to spend the holidays with friends ... I took some shots of how Xmas and Eid Al-Adha are / were celebrated here in Lebanon and will try to take more shots later tonight of the New Year celebration here in Downtown, Beirut.

 

Best regards from Lebanon!

 

Buth

 

It must be THAT time of year again!

Judging from all the elfamorphoses ...

It was Aiden!! She started it by posting on the EVonline2002 Webheads List, Sat Dec 16, 2006

and more ...

Teresa wins the prize for this belated tip off list. She's been using this "embed" solution that gave me the key to making my files NOT play automatically (autostart set to false) :-) What a nice New Year's surprise, as in this example:

Everybody likes to take a holiday

See how it looks here and while you're at it, listen to my students' (not all) singing!

Cristina Costa in Portugal asked her students to create Christmas Photostories.

Here is the result. http://module4pm.blogspot.com/2006/12/merry-christmas-to-you-all.html#comments

Hi guys

Aiden, Michael, Vance!

You're fantastic! You really made my day this morning.

I never knew you could dance so well. I should put a note to Santa, just in case he's looking for some new helpers.

 

(and later ...)

 

I kept meaning to post my X'mas wishes but only now

getting round to doing it.

Now .. when everyone is probably shopping and preapring for

X'mas, ... and I'm still in front of my computer ... : (

Enjoy the season and may 2007 be a healthy and peaceful one.

And bring exciting thngs to all Webheads!

(and still later ... ;-)

I didn't get a chance to send my X'mas wishes earlier.

So, if anyone is still reading emails ... : )

Have a great time over the holidays and may the new

year be a healthy and peaceful one.

 

Lots and lots of smiles

all the best from Susan B. in Italy.......

!

!

!

We've seen the passing of another year.

For many it's been filled with pain and tears.

We've seen our loved ones in their decline.

We've had to accept that they won't be fine.

!

!

Some of us had to say good bye,

To a long time loved one, and we've all cried.

But there have been times in this past year,

That certain events have brought us cheer.

!

There are so many friends that are on the list,

And I know there's names I will have missed.

But better friends I could not have bought.

And here is just a New Year's thought.

!

If it were possible that a wish could come true,

Then this is my New Year's wish for you.

May the coming year be full of hope,

And may we be given the strength to cope.

!

!

Let courage, faith and patience abound.

And let us pray that a cure will be found.

And now at the close of another year,

My friends, I wish you a Happy New Year.

Best Wishes

Mohamed Hisham El-Mehallawy
