Results!!

Okay, okay, I know that I'm a day late in tallying our polling results for the two suggestions. To know why, jump over to my blog, the political situation has turned really exciting in Malaysia, with a huge wind of change that has brought about a shocking tsunami to our Malaysian government.

A totally unexpected result, from the Malaysians...

So enough of that (means if you want to know more, read my blog..), and we shall now look to the decisions of our citizens of Generation-L on the two decisions posed to them:

1. Should we have the player on autoplay? &
2. Shall we have a slideshow on this blog, featuring family photos, gatherings etc?

The results for the 1st poll has come out as a plain and simple.. "NO"

We had 6 voters, and 4 out of 2 had said that they don't want the player on autoplay. Well I do admit, that it will slow down the bandwith, and it loads as it plays, so the song sounds sort of broken, and irritating.. That, I guess was our main reason...

Verdict: It's plain and simple, it's democratic, so we follow along with the wishes of those who exercised their right to vote. The player remains as it is.

For the second poll... ahh, for this we have a huge difficulty, as it seems that our voters are only interested in the player, and they didn't vote about the slide show. It could be that they are still deciding, but a decision is indeed hard to reach when you've only had 4 voters and 2 have voted "Yes", and the other 2 "No"..

It's a tie and it's impossible to make a decision.

Thus a new poll will be held to determine, if we shall have a slide show featuring our family pictures. Here are the details, to aid the rest of you in making an informed choice.

1. The site which i will be using to put up the slide show will www.slide.com, check it out.

2. I'll create the account, and give each of our authors, the ID and password.

3. The authors themselves must upload the pictures that they wish to be on the slide show
--> Reason being, I personally don't have all the family pictures, or your pictures, and we don't meet often. This is way more convienent.

4. If you would like a sample of how it will look like on this blog , head over to Oracl3 to check it out. When the new blog layout is done, it will most probably be similar to Oracl3 as it will be done by the same person. So the slide show on this blog will be in the same position as that.

5. I profess that, I'm not very sure about this, as i haven't used slide.com for over a year, but most probably, after uploading the pictures, the html codes on this blog needs to be refreshed. (unlike the music player) If you know how to handle html codes, you could do it yourself, or you could drop me a message, and I will do it when I'm free.

6. To be fair, each member will only be allowed to upload a certain number of pictures. This is to be revised later, and following my discretion as this blog's moderator.

But don't worry, this quota is just to ensure that everyone gets to upload the pictures that he or she wants. If you have exceeded your quota, based on my discretion, and the number of pictures posted, I may grant you permission..

Note--> However, this quota requirement will only be placed into practise if we have too many pictures on the slideshow.. So basically it's just to control an overflow..

So now, on to our poll.. Please ensure that everyone votes, so that we can reach a consensus..

The same rules apply, you may only cast your vote once, so think carefully!!

Unfortunately for me, my attempts in roping in our other cousins of the Lim family has not been very successful, I therefore appeal to the other authors to do your part, (even if you consider your sibling a brat, just invite them in, they are still family) and help to rope in our other cousins to contribute to the blog.

The author's work is fairly simple:

1. Just post about yourself

2. Just post about what is going on around you, where are you now, any new adventures, how's life, how are your kids etc.. (There's plenty of things to write.. Share your pretty pictures, you can even be poetic here..)

3. Family gossips are allowed based on discretion, this is the World Wide Web, we don't want to launder our dirty laundry.
--> BUT please note, if we garneer enough authors, (And also if there are too many dirty secrets getting out haha) this blog may be made private, and the only people who may enter to read this blog will be the people that we choose.

4. Basically, use this place to bond with the other cousins, to tell the other cousins how you are doing etc

5. Please keep all posts decent enough for general viewing, because as dirty as you might want to get, some of our cousins are still, if contributing or reading, of minor age.. haha.. though we could educate them?? haha

Well, that's all for now, remember no matter how busy you are, it doesn't hurt to spare some time for family :)
