I'm sure someone will put this in BB8 (probably already has) but for those of us still in BBASland:

"Hello BB8: Reloader user,

I know that like us you are eagerly looking forward to this season of Big Brother. You're more than likely itching to hear any news related to this season's show. While I personally can't tell you much about the show, I can tell you some things about this season's edition of the Reloader.

First and foremost, this season the Reloader will be offered completely free! You heard me right, for free! Before you purchase your SuperPass, if you can remember to come to www.bbreloader.com, we'll refer you to RealPlayer's site to purchase the SuperPass and in return give you the Reloader for no cost! If you plan on buying the RealPlayer SuperPass to watch the feeds, you might as well get the Reloader for free as well, right? Share this great news with your friends and mark it on your calendars to remind yourself when it comes time to get your SuperPass. If you want to read more about this cool promotion, you can find out more about it here.

If you already purchased your SuperPass or simply forget to sign up for a SuperPass by being referred from our site then the Reloader will also be offered for purchase.

In addition to the Reloader being offered for free, we've added a few new features that we think you'll enjoy.

- Screen capture watermarks. Instantly watermark your screen captures with text overlays
- Custom screen capture filenames allowing for ultimate personalization.
- All new keyboard shortcuts to control feed size and selection.
- A quick hide boss key! If your boss is nearby, instantly transform the Reloader into Microsoft Excel with a single key! You can download a video of this new feature here.
- We've revamped and made it easier to record video of your feeds.
- We have also implemented another new feature we call BB Screens. If you enable it in your Reloader settings, all screen captures are instantly uploaded and filed under the appropriate date and time on our newly launched site: www.bbscreens.com Once the screen capture hits this site, anyone can tag it or post comments about it. Essentially you'll then be able to visit the site and see what was happening throughout the season at any point in time.

Those are just a few of the things we've done with this season's edition of the Reloader. We encourage you to visit www.bbreloader.com to find out more about the software.

If you have any new feature ideas, please don't hesitate to send them our way. The Reloader has always been a product of the community. Without your amazing ideas, it would simply not be what it is today.

Here's to one great season of Big Brother!

Sincerely,

The BB8: Reloader Team"

Just a few months now - it will go fast I HOPE! :-)

*I* get distracted?! Do we need to discuss the hockey incident again, Belle?

Okay, fine - I've been distracted. I'll email Jade today and try to get the kiosk thing sorted out.

Nana, I found Reloader to be really easy to use, including recording clips and taking screep caps.

Probably the quad cam, Mama (sucky useless quad cam).

I have to say: I think it is *extremely* unfair that just when I am most cranky is when I am suddenly expected to stop my own self from being snippy at work. That said, I did not decapitate anyone today, not even the evil little woman in my department; in fact, I ran such a grimly efficient meeting that both my bosses complimented me on it afterwards (despite looking a little shellshocked).

I am totally buying myself a pony in SL tonight. Or a plane.

NEW TIARA. Yesssss! I need a new tiara AND a pony (a silentish one. The howling dog is starting to p o the hapless wandering newbies I think). And you are totally right Chris, some surfing as well.

I'm back from working out and need to make a phone call but after that I am down with this program!

(also, Rose, remember you promised us a tour of the build tonight).

Robyn Kass, the casting director for Big Brother was on a local morning radio show and gave a rundown on what they look for when casting.

There is an open casting call in Rockford, Illinois tonight for anyone in that area. It's at the Kryptonite Bar from 5:30p to 8:00p. And since there is currently a snow storm going on in a large area of the upper Midwest, they have no idea how many people will show up. She said it could be from 30 people to 1000....

Here is what she said to bring if you go:

A completed Application
2 pictures -->a face shot & a full body shot
copy of legal ID's -->drivers license, passport & SS# card

They are looking for "people 21 years old and up, who are opinionated, competitive, outspoken and larger than life."

If any goes.... good luck to you!

I've been playing around with Windows Movie Maker, making a video of my granddaughter. Does anyone here know of a better video making program? Sure would appreciate it. Thanks.

Hi Nana731...that is all I have is Windows Movie Maker as well. Hey, you're doing better than me I have only done the picture's on WMM.

I have some video of my son playing hockey and when I uploaded it, it split it up. When I get a chance I will go back and look at it.

Sorry I couldn't help!

Hi Pinklady, Thanks anyway. I just figured there's gotta be a better program out there to do this. Hopefully someone else on here might know of a good one. HAGD

Hey guys.....

This could be WAAAAAYYY offbase....and silly...but I got one of those "zinger" weird thoughts go through my head, that usually turn out right, after seeing the article at Joker's Upsdates about Howie.

It says, and I went to look at the advertisement....that Howie Gordon of BB and BB All Stars is the "special guest" at the Amazing Race Finale Party and Viewing on the West Coast. The only other "special guests" are a trio from the Reality Show "Treasure Hunters"...

Did anyone else just get thay little **ZINGER**???!!!!!!

Could it be that JANIE & HOWIE are going to do The Amazing Race instead of Janie and Kaysar or Will?????

Gee Caycaye - I hope not! Janelle would have to carry him on TAR as much as she did on BB6 and Bb Allstars! I think he gets a little too wound up when things go wrong to make a good TAR partner. Kaysar is much calmer and supportive and encouraging, IMHO. (So is Will, but I guess that ship has sailed?)

Oh, men read maps...they just don't ask for directions. LOL

Caycaye, I was wondering the same thing. Unless it has more to do with kicking off BB8 than TAR. Then again, I heard he is slated to be in Nashville for the Reality TV Convention. I guess we'll just have to wait and see, as painful as that is.

As of May 1, 2007, to gain access to Will's "fan" forum, you need to register (or re-register) giving your first and last name, a contact address, your phone number, they will also be 'recording your IP address and making it a part of your account file.' Allegedly the only people who will have access to your private information is Will, Nancy and Sandy Polley (his web people), and legal organizations per their TOS (did they get rid of their web vendor). They are also changing their current chatroom from userplane to a new one, supposedly to give Will's web people more control of the chatroom (it is rumored it's one that you need to download, but it latches on to many different files on your computer; I don't know if this is true, but you may want to research with experts if you plan to use it).

The excuse Will's web people allegedly have given for this new requirement, is that 'if you're not up to no good it should be no big deal to put your private information on his site.' So, they claim anyone who doesn't want to put their private information on his site is up to no good? The people who cause problems will continue to cause problems, bc they don't care if they give their private information, or some made up version of it, crazies are crazy like that. People don't put their private information on the internet for a variety of reasons, one being identity theft. Many sites get hacked and Will's is no exception, moreover, his web people have already had that happen to them at his myspace, and it happened because of their error. This day and age you need to be very careful about what private information you put on the internet, to whom and why. What legitimate reason would there be for any "fan" site to require this much private information; I don't see one.

This is not something upsetting nor something I am even remotely angry about (I watch the news), it is annoying at best, however, it is also Will's prerogative. Although it looks more like his web people's decision, he's the one listening to them and making it happen. How many fans are they trying to alienate and why? It's like a bad train wreck waiting to happen and Will is standing in the middle of the tracks, I just can't watch it happen anymore. I think I'm just done with this whole mess. I like Will, I've been a fan of his since BB2, that won't change, but what will change is me going to his site, checking his blog, trying to get the newsletter (which I actually have been trying to get for months now to no avail), or purchasing his products. I'd rather put my time, and money, into other areas, and if it's a celebrity, even a BB celebrity, it will be with someone who doesn't allow his staff to treat his fans/customers the way his web people do his.
