stephanie is: 
groggy…
i should be upstairs getting ready for bed… never enough time!
so i had my end-of-year review at work today. i was officially offered a full-time position as web/graphic designer with a decent salary. it has been a long time since i’ve been on salary! and in another couple months when i no longer have my “office” in the store room, things will be even better!
chirstmas cards… i am sending them to anyone who sends me one, pretty much. it is easy that way – just copy the return address onto the envelope. if you need my address, it is: Stephanie Segall, 11654 Plaza America DR #239, Reston, VA 20190
so, i have a proposal to all you members of stvlive (or potential members)… i have a problem. working full time (and often more that full time after all my projects are added together) it is extremely difficult to go through all the archived cam images to choose pictures for the gallery. i haven’t gotten ANY galleries up for this year because i am STILL going through about 500,000 images. i’ve made it to august on most of the machines and november on one of them… but it takes a really long time to look through each folder of about 75,000 cam pics to findthe “interesting” ones.
how can you help? i’d like to have the members start capturing more of the images. in return i will get a free month of access to the 3 members that capture the most images per month. i may increase that number after the test period if needed. at the moment you’d need to enter your username in when you capture a picture, but tomorrow i will change the script to record it automatically. capturing a bunch of pictures of an empty chair won’t count. i know i’m often not on camera right now, but i will be checking that the pictures were worth saving (and yes, cute puppy pictures are worth saving!).
this site is a big scrapbook of my life to me. until i started saving pictures from my cams, i had a horrible memory. now i can look at a picture and remember what happened that day. it makes me sad to think of not having that simply because life has become so crazy. i want to be able to spend a lot of time on all the hi res photos without the daily life galleries being forgotten.
any comments on this idea are welcome. basically you’d be “earning your keep” at my site. you could potentially pay for one month and then never have to pay again…
oh, well. to bed i go!
