O&M Sharing

[Tavis]

LOL Now I don't feel so uniquely dumb.<br><br>For directions to the Zips, go to O&M and click archives... you'll find them listed by year with "Download Entire Year" links listed on the right with convenient file sizes in parentheses.<br><br>My goodness, I can't believe I did all that indivudual comic downloading on a 56K modem too.. haha

For German class we had to write a fairytale in German so I bowered (with giving David Craig Simpson credit) the plot line from when Captain Loke took over greater Llewellynland and posted the strips on the bottom of the paper. I doubt that my teacher is cool enough to check it out though.

My senior year in high school (last year to be exact), I worked as a systems administrator for the school division. After a couple months on the job, I started to get very hooked on O&M, and I decided to "share the wealth". Using the administration software used by the school (Microsoft Management Console for the Windows network and Mac Manager for the Apple network), I set the homepage of every computer in the school division (15,000 people, 10,000 machines) to "www.ozyandmillie.org", and left it for a week. Within two weeks, almost every classroom had O&M printouts hanging on the doors or the bulletin boards. I later pulled the same prank at the local university (James Madison), but it only lasted a couple hours before some other administrator changed it.

I put some strips on my dorm walls in the past also bookmarked it on the computer in th school bookstore.<br><br>Granted after after that "cranberry strip" and that fan art I made, I showed that to my Art professor and he asked me if I had some sick infatuation with cranberry sauce. <!--emo&:lol:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I always share a strip when I think its funny, and a friend will appreciate it.

Actually, I do. Besides the PDA thing, I also downloaded the icon animations to my cellphone. I don't think my phone has the memory to show off 1000 comics. Yet. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

My cell phone wouldn't! let alone, when I put a strip on there, it is compressed in size to the point where its just a colorful mass. <br>I'm getting people to look at the site, just stop them in the hallway of my school and say 'hey, you should see this!' Word of mouth is spreading, even if a little slowly here.<br>you know... i really do need a PDA though... hm...

[Muninn]

Word of mouth is like bacteria, you can tell just one person but he might tell two then those two four or five and so on. Also both are underrated.

[spamfish]

Is my cell phone really that outdated? My phone is barely 2 years old and it seems like the black and white is ancient! Also, I can't put images on it. I can view images on WAP sites, but that's all. My pda, however, which is also b&w(FOUR shades of grey!) can view comics, but they get squashed to the width of the screen in the Avantgo web browser, and become unreadable. I do plan on getting a new cell phone toward the end of this year, though, thanks to the contract I agreed to that gives me $100 toward the purchase of a new phone at the end of the 2-year agreement. I'm so glad I commited to that, especially since there haven't been any cheaper plans introduced since I signed that. Sprint PCS is getting expensive now.<br>I share Ozy and Millie on my LiveJournal every now and then, along with other comics I find funny. I only share a comic(of any series) about once every few weeks or so. When I first discovered O&M, I was instant-messaging comics to a certain friend every few seconds! There was so much archive to discover and share! I should share comics more. I just don't want to waste my friends' bandwidth too much. I guess it really wouldn't be a problem, though.
