Happy New Years Eve everyone!

Watching the cams to begin the day
in the very best way!

(It's 4:30 AM here in Doo Dah...Wichita, KS, that is )

Thanks to Rusty for a most enjoyable conversation yesterday morning. Lucky me, lucky me ... ya'll are a pleasure to "be" with !!!

Good morning, Barbara! We *early risers* have the place to ourselves. It was great to meetcha! Let's start making some funny pitchers, huh?

Gate action:

Good morning, Barbara and Rusty! And happy New Year to all! It'll be hard to stay focused today, when it seems everybody else stayed home this morning, but I'll check in from time to time as my reward for accomplishing all those end-of-the-year tasks.
Didn't want to miss the opportunity to wish everyone Felis Anja Nobo!

MORNING RUSTY , BARBARA AND HOLLY,
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!! HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A VERY SAFE, HEALTHY, PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR. AND PLEASE KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK ON THE CAM BOARDS(ITS A LONG COLD WINTER HERE ON LONG ISLAND)

Hi all, I too am stuck at work when everybody else is off for the day - so, dismally boring here. But I'll be smiling with all the extra time to watch the Bonaire site and the converstations. :-) :-) Rusty, we got our boxer puppy!!! I'll email you about him.

Here is one of our bird friends! Wish I was in Bonaire now. It is about 25 degrees here. I hate cold weather!

This is a nice way to end the year and start a new one - surrounded by friends!

Denise - what did you name him??

Good AM back at you!

I'll be safe...well, maybe
because I am studying XP (eXtremely Pitiful...eXPerience must be Bill's idea of a joke). The cams are my contact with reality. Need 'em, want 'em, gotta have 'em to override the XP blues!

No snow here (we get ice instead) and the temp is 12...an excellent day to remain indoors!

Good morning Barbara, Rusty, Leigh Ann, Denise FREDDIE, & Holly! Left Coast checking in! Hey Rusty, today's the last day to post & vote for pix of the year, right? You've been officially elected the supreme vote counter!

Just another day of golden beaches, calm beautiful water & a dive boat...may your New Year bring you a scene like this from the other side of the cams!

Rusty...This afternoon I'll play with the sftware I downloaded yesterday. Unfortunately, I have to torture myself studying Bill's joke, also called XP...Otherwise, come Wednesday, everyone will know I did not study XP Admin & user permissions...rats.
My treat this afternoon will be playing with the sftware I downloaded! Wheeeeeeeeeee!

Our new boxer puppy is named Oscar and has won our hearts!

Good Morning all and Happy Holidays. I was away from the webcam for too long, although I didi get a shot of some happy divers yesterday morning. I'll try to import it from home.

If I don't get back to the chat. Happy New Year to all!!

Kevin

Happy New years early eve to you all....have to work today from 2pm till 8pm...hope to be on later to wish you all a wonderful New years! It has been hard to get to the computer with my daughter home!

at long last a picture for me to post.. yippeee and all that stuff...

Barbara which software are you playing with that you downloaded. I got Flash and PhotoShop recently and now I need to make the time to play on them and learn . . .

Hi Meryl! We can assume that the pile of towels has grown into a mountain? :>



Deb.

you are quick, I was just posting this one too :-)

Well, Happy Squid Year!

Hey Deb - I think we can keep the Best Ofs going for a week or so - whaddya think? We haven't had Snork and Cecil check in and I know they have archives... and I have a few more fishies to post...No rush - 2001 still has hours to go and hey, I caught my first cephalopod.

Cool squid pic! I am so busy reading BTr's that I miss seeing the uw cam Thanks for sharing this one !

Here's the little squid shot for your collections:

Dognap....zzzzzzzzzz



Have a safe and Happy New Year everyone!!!!!

Parrot making a bombing run....

Ooohhhhh, indeed! Great squid shot, gal! It's "hi ho hi ho" time...Deb.

Deb - do you get up early just to visit with us? Awww, ain't you sweet!

Here's a shy Charlotte (I think!)

this should be a triple post at best...

Fast Freddie! It wasn't even on my cam yet and you had them posted. Whew!

Denise - I'm jealous. LOL It's fun to have a baby in the house!! Our three send WOOFS!

Bon Noche all, and Happy New Year. I've been wicked busy since before Christmas, I miss my time time on the boards. I've been reading the post from the last two weeks, great stuff all, Andy's, Sarah's and Dave's trip reports are the best. I was going to post an account of my Myrtle Beach diving but have not had the time (one word summary, ROUGH).

and what has been keeping me busy, you ask? That sticking, no good, needs to die (plus a bunch of X-words) USB connection for my new Sony DSC-P5. I don't know who to kill, Sony (who gave me the drivers that started this mess), IBM (who made my computer) or Bill Gates (who made the OS). One of them needs to die. I have been working this issue since Friday with no resolution in sight, that counts the 24 hrs with no computer when I deleted the wrong file. The only lesson I've learned is if you are on your computer and a crazed person shows up with a gun and says "delete VMM32.VXD or I'm going to shoot you", let him shoot you will be better off.

Rusty, as far as the Best-of-2000, most of my collection is on my computer at work and I wouldn't get there till Wednesday. Some nominations (that come to mind) are the squid squadron, the hidden baracuda, the Eagle Ray and the hidden Hawksbill Turtle. For the divers, the ever elusive Jake fish w/ pony bottle, the plastic fish that showed up one night. North Cam any of the great sunsets, there was one with a sailboat.

Denise...After chatting with Rusty, I downloaded the 30-day trial version of Paint Shop Pro 7 on my Wintel laptop. I have & use MS Image Composer on my 5 year old (80 MB of mem) laptop.
Had to get a (used) Wintel machine 3 years ago for school because of Visual Basic, Access pgmmg, MS Certs, Novell & CISCO.
I have Photoshop 4.0 on my 6 year old Mac Performa (75MHz & 48 MB of mem). Not that I'm I Mac addict or anything, but my 75MHz Mac Performa runs circles around my laptop: an Acer 166MMX. I'd much rather use my Mac to get online, but I can't seem to locate an inexpensive LC slot E'net card for my Mac. Poor me

Cecil,
What OS are you dealing with? We had no problems at all with ours (granted, it's a P1, not P5) - worked like a champ from the start, first with W2K, then with XP.

Weird.

And the ever so effective guard is on dute for a little while1 ;o)

Cecil - howdy! Not bad for off the top of your head... we can wait for you! Some of those pix are before my time - LOL - and I'd love to see them - particularly the turtle!

It's officially 2002 in Australia/Japan/parts of Russia/Hong Kong and NZ... Thailand's turn is coming in a half-hour. You can watch the cams of 2002 - as if Bonaire isn't enough for all of us - with this handy cam guide to the New Year! (Just open another browser window!)

yes alot to walk over here! I started a year in review on Everything else...hope to finish posting it by tonight or tomorrow morning...hope you all enjoy once its done!

Rusty,

Thanks for posting the site for watching the new year arrive in various parts of the world. Fascinating (but I'm a web cam junkie, anyway).

Steve

Susan, Windows ME. The drivers on the machine are not working, so I been looking far and wide for some different drivers. The problem is the USB hub driver, the universal driver seems to be working.

Hey, Steve! Me, too. Can you tell? Sydney OZ will post shots from their two fireworks displays later today (New Years Day). Most of us slept thru it, I think!

The Times Square cams ought to be busy tonite.

Hope Jake and Linda get out on the beach with some fireworks tonite after sundowner! (Flashlights and Bic lighters?, maybe?)
