We have a Comiccom??? 😮
I’ve never been to a Con, I’ve heard that they are lots of fun though…. And I’d probably be to chicken to go on my own 😳

That sounds like Calgary. We have roller coaster weather. It’s cold for a few days, a chinnok blows in, its warm for a couple of days and then its cold again. repeat. It’s not uncommon to get temperature changes of 20 degrees in a few hours when the chinooks blow in
Monday was +1 (33F) yesterday was -15 (-5F), today is -25 (-13F)marou wrote:Griffinlover wrote:I just talked to my hubby to be. He said he could make a database with website if you are interested.
He’s a computer software developer. He loves taking side jobs like that. He’s willing to do it for free. Let me know if you are interested.
Griffinlover told me about this, and I figured I’d come in and say something. I’m more than willing to do this, I just need whatever info you have. I’ve got ~10 years experience coding web fronted databases, and honestly, I just love doing it. I don’t mind helping you guys out, especially since Griffinlover loves your art so much. It makes her happy, so I’m happy.
I would want/need the following information:
Host information (since the forums look to be PHP, I can guess that you have access to PHP / MySQL)
A list of all known Windstones. I saw the links above, but I’d prefer a single complete list. I can always have Griffinlover do that part for me. 😛
All associated media (pictures, videos if you have them, etc)…again, I can manage without.
I’m assuming you don’t want users to be able to add to this, so that’d take me even less time to do.
Feel free to hit me up here, or via the email linked to this account. I’m sure Griffinlover will tell me I got a reply before my email will. 😀

I would be interested in helping out too. I’m great at and love hunting info up and organizing etc, but have no clue when it comes to computers 😛
UPDATED FEBRUARY 22
Reduced some asking prices (because shipping is expensive)
Added a couple of piecesGah, some people… 👿
For the speeding, even in rural Alberta where there is rarely a speed limit posted, everyone knows the limit. It’s in the law. I would call your local county police and report her, every time you see her doing so, also mention you are afraid for your kids. Get her license plate and give them that. Get your neighbors to report her too, that way it’s not just one “crazy lady” (tip from an RCMP friend)
For the dog… Report him. Get your neighbors to report him. Here it’s illegal to let a dog run loose (city or country) and rural property owners will shoot stray dogs (we have had problems with feral packs and coyotes)
The garden hose or a spray bottle works well, but you have to catch the **** in the act. Here you can get ‘Goose Sprayers’ they are motion sensitive sprinkler squirt gun things that can be either plug in or battery operated and are found in most garden or hardware stores. You can also get motion sensitive air horns and ultra sonic devices. A line of Cayenne (super hot) pepper powder across the top of your stairs may deter the critter as well. Another solution (if you or hubby are handy people) would be to get some of that orange plastic snow fence (or something similar) and staple one end to the post and the other to a length of two by four and stretch it across the entrance to your porch before you go to bed and it can be easily retracted during the day. My dad built a fence like that to keep his dog on the patio out by the garage so he can be with him while he’s working, and keeps him from roaming the alley.WolfenMachine wrote:I’m not sure if you have UPS in Canada, but I’ve used them to ship TO Canada before, and their rates were VERY reasonable. I shipped a wizar gargoyle for less than $30-I think he may have cost $20 or $25 to ship-it was almost the same price to ship within the USA. Something to consider
I am really, really hoping all the shipping quotes were high. We have several couriers here, I’m looking into all of them and will post rates as I can.
The shipping on everything from Canada is killing me. Canada Post set it’s rates when the American dollar was worth $1.30ish Canadian and now that we are at parity (some days the Canadian is worth more than American) it’s just killing me here and ebay 🙁Just wondering…. has Windstone ever considered doing up an online collectors type archive?
As a collector I would love to see something like this with pictures and info about when the piece/color was released and retied catalouge # etc?
