Yays. *Cuddles brand-new Jimmy-clone*

More artwork on the way, I'm sure, as soon as I stop procrastinating. I love making icons, though I'm not the best at it.

And to Palmerfans in general: feel free to snag either one of the icons if you like them. I don't care about crediting. ^-^

If you don't mind, I migth snap them for NFA_pics in the Jimmy icon folder. I'll put your user name in the top. NFA_pics is a repository of NCIS banners, pics, promo shots etc for public share but we do like the artists to get credit.

It's no problem, Ozgeek. I'd be honoured!
Be on the lookout for more... I have about five done already, and a few more to go...hopefully will have them done by tomorrow.

[fireness]

I know not all of them are of Jimmy, but they're all from About Face.

To view them, please visit my Icon Emporium: ncisspecialops.proboards29.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=art&thread=1171

They are terrific. Can I steal some for NFA_pics? And not just the Jimmy ones, although that's where the need really is.

[fireness]

Absolutely!

This is from a Marine ball held in LA last Oct.

Could those possibly be posted here a bit bigger? I clicked on them and ended up with a world of trouble. I had things acting strange, freeze-ups, I had to reboot twice because the first time my quick launch and system tray icons vanished, my email screwed up on me, I had to call my ISP tech support, IE was telling me suddenly that my security settings weren't safe and would I like to fix them, I finally ran a virus scan and everything seems to be okay now... but I'm not clicking on those again!

But man oh man, Brian looks GORGEOUS in a tux!!!

[Aerie]

Try Firefox. Many people keep both IE and Firefox for situations like this. I only use I.E. for Microsoft downloads.

When pics are posted at full size members on dial-up can't see them AND often can't even load the page.


Try these from photobucket.

Thanks Aerie - I know about the dial-up issues, that's why I've reduced the image requirements for both Probie's Princess and Jimmy's Crickets clone applications. I appreciate the photobucket clickies VERY much. I just don't want to risk repeating what I went through this morning. It scared the s*#t out of me!!!

Edited to add:

OMG. Can Jimmy PLEASE keep Brian's glasses? These ones are SO much more flattering!!!! I know, I know, the "Harry Potter" look has become a trademark for Mr. Palmer. Like Abby's spiderweb tat and Gibbs' take-out coffee cup. Yeah, yeah. *sulks back into a corner to pout*

[saskie73]

This is slightly off topic for the Crickets BUT this incident just happened to occur when I clicked on the Marine Ball images (before Aerie put them in photobucket).

Just in case this is NOT a coincidence and there is a problem with that website, I'm going to forewarn you guys about this.

Just as I was having problems with those windows (they were freezing up on me) I had some suspicious windows show up from my registry that informed me that there were two installs that had been "successfully completed."

Not by coincidence I think, I had ended up with a virus called "spools.exe". This one was shutting down my Norton Internet Security.

I also ended up with malware called "ctfmon.exe." This second one is also the filename of an .exe in Microsoft Office. The way to tell is where it's located. This one was in Documents and Settings which is an indication that it's not the benign MS Office file, it's malicious and needs to be removed.

I have manually quarantined and deleted both of these threats, hopefully this will fix the problem.

It's a good idea to right click the pic, click on Properties, to see if it's from imagevenue, which is full of spyware and the dreaded spybots.

My Internet Security will not let me download pics from imagevenue. It's classified as Very Unsafe.

Hi there, Crickets

Very much so and let's not do it again. ;D ;D



SG - do not smite me for this.

[saskie73]

Aerie, THANK YOU for the imagevenue warning.

Now, where were we...

Ah, yes. The Hotness of Brian Dietzen in a tux... ;D We Crickets have always suspected such a thing, but it's nice to have photographic proof. ;D

Nice to see him out and about with the rest of the cast - it reinforces for me that he's not regarded as just your average recurring actor.

[ozgeek]

Thanks for the pics Wanderer and Aerie, I am going to put them up on BD's yahoo site (with credit of course). Also I nicked those other icons for NFA pics. Thanks all.

[saskie73]

I echo the sentiment - big thanks to wanderer for alerting us to the pictures, and big thanks to Aerie for making them safe for EVERYONE to click on so we can all enjoy them without doubt and worries.

And we will DEFINITELY enjoy them! ;D

EDITED TO ADD:

Holy crap! Check out the Jimmy Love - we're on page FIVE already!

[Sean'sGirl]

Yay for Jimmy love.

Now fess up Crickets—who wanted to be in Annie's place when Jimmy was doing mouth-to-mouth?


safe photobucket clickies!


ETA: Why would I smite you Aerie? You still have that newspaper, right? ( now I was OT)
