Nope, but then I have to wake up everyday to see you guys getting ready for lunch, and I haven't even had coffee yet. LOLOL

Wanna buy some hats? LOLOLOL


Thanks for the support guys (esp. Sis, who is kicking in big time)


Unlike you, however FT, I have my act together already.


One VOMP in (Surface)

and for those of you following

The Surface Daily Report (booming voice)


Yesterday we got 133 nominations

That's down a full 31 Noms from the previous day, and 10 short of the 143 we required to pass the next show.

To make matters worse, they got 16 Noms of their own

While that's a little disappointing, let's keep in mind that 133 Noms on a Sunday, when people are busy, is perfectly respectable. We can do better though, so let's keep pouring it on.
--------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------
Today's take down target is once again Wonderfalls.which is now only 26 away.

The show after that is Rat Patrol, which is an additional 335 Noms passed that, so let's get at close as we can.

It will take us a couple of days to make for such a wide gap.

Don't get discouraged. The further up the list we go, the more of that we should expect.

The Rat Patrol 5146
Wonderfalls 4811
Surface 4785

Not back. Just here for a moment to announce that the FlyVote program was updated. So our paths will only cross for scant few moments. Very glad to see that the Vumping is continuing. And it is interesting that there is a new set of faces joining in.

Keep up the great work with the charts and stats, FlatTop. I'm glad to see that FlyVote (the program) is still being used, and I'm especially tickled at the number of votes.

Take care, voters. See you sometime again.

VOMP (Red Dwarf as mentioned)

Flyvote - Thanks for the awesome program. I can't tell you how much worse we Surface fans would be doing, without that reminder. I find myself saying, "Already?" a lot, which means I'd be late on a lot of votes. Your work is greatly appreciated.

Now, a question. Is the update strictly cosmetic, or is the reminder "new and improved" which would justify a reinstall?

The improvements are both cosmetic (although apparently one button's graphic has failed :-( in this new release. Doesn't stop things from working. ) as well as the program "innards".

Worth downloading and replacing the version that is there.

I'm glad that it has been helping "Surface" as much as Firefly. Go Surface!

VOMP (John Doe again)

Both John Doe and All in the Family received 4 Noms yesterday. I have given JD 2 today, so everyone sacrifice one Nom (gulp, yes even one you would have given to Surface) and let's get JD over that hump, eh?


Thanks for the info as well Flyvote.I will download the newer version soon.

I have a suggestion as well. A timer reset button would be awesome (if possible). Sometimes, I can't get to the Vote right away, and then the thing is off schedule and pops-up too early after that. I end up having to restart it, which resets the counter at zero.

I hope I explained it clearly. Thanks.

That feature was already there in the menu (once the timer was started you could reset it or stop it) but I added a button just for you.

I also added buttons for the alternate TV_Vote locations. And a box you could type in to change the countdown time.

Now the FlyVote version is 2.8.

Lemme know that it works for you. The countdown (once the timer is activated) is in the title bar (Windows) and the box at the bottom lets you change the 60 minutes to another time in minutes - if for instance you vote, but leave the window full size for too long.
