I've already mentioned this to Mad Cow through email and have been nominated to coordinate passphrases, etc on the IRC chat, but I'm also available to do anything else that needs doing. I also have a gmail account. I don't have any axons anywhere near me, so this is about all I can do to help the phone call situation.

I can do the 6-12 PDT shift from Tuesday through Thursday this coming week (Monday's a no-go because my housemate has off, and so's Friday because I have a Revoultionary War re-enactment to attend - my unit, the 1st Ulster County Militia, is hosting the re-enactment of the Burning of Kingston).

Use this number: 845-657-2648, and - as soon as I say "Hello?", ask for "Private Walker" or "Macavity" (occasionally my housemate calls from workto see how I'm doing).

The next week I'll be available for passcode pass-along from Tuesday to Friday, same times PDT, and the week after that I should be available from Monday to Friday, again from 6-12 PDT.

I have the graphics under control for email people, just PM me if you can send to an email address, and I will give you my email address to send to. I will also be posting them on my website, and will forward them on. (Don't worry, I got 455megabits of bandwidth I can consume ) Not that I would ever do anything like that *whistles innocently*

Updated Beekeeper Coordination

[aliendial]

MadCow/Phaedra - plan a message with all relevant contact info for axon hunters Monday. Whoever is going to be around all day should write it so they will have edit rights to go back and change it if needed as Tuesday proceeds. Perhaps someone else who is going to be at the computer all day can write the second message for the same reason - or to hold the current passphrase information. However you think it should work. [plan in advance so you can actually do this quickly before some third party decides to reply] (And - you know this but I'm just being compulsive - be prepared to improvise over gaps in your current plan and for last minute conflicts for your volunteers, as well as for failure to anticipate what Melissa is going to ask us to do )

Anyway, once it's up, get me or another Mod to make it an Announcement in the Axon Forum. And leave a pointer Announcement behind in the General Forum.

PM me on Monday to get my attention when you are ready to do this, but I may be busy so give me some time.

I do NOT have phone capability, I have more than enough email capability though

I have finished mapping out the closest kinkos to each axon in Wa. state
for our Axon Enhottenators, the Rainier Company.

I also called kinkos and this is the info for ALL kinkos locations:

Cellphones-
If you do not have the capabilties to email a pic you MUST have a USB
cable to hook up to their PCs. The use of these PCs is .20 per minute.

Digital Cameras-
There are two options here. The first is the same as for cellphones. You
MUST have a USB cable and pay .20 per minute. Important note here,
their PCs do not support the XD Memory Stick. If you do not have a USB
cable you can go for option two which also does not support the XD
Memory Stick. You connect your camera to their Sony Picture Station and
for 4.99 they will burn you a CD which you place into a PC that costs .20
per minute.

You can then email your pic to your local team or directly to the soon to
be Picture Email Address or whatever they are going to call it.

At it's worst, this would cost you 6-8 dollars including tax.

Wow.. this is realy cool! Amazing how a simple idea spawned all of this...

I just sent off an Email to Cow explaining my situation...

Bottom line: It will be rough for me to do it again. I will only be available after 3:00 Central Time. But I am offering for the job as navigator... considering that I did it already before (about a total of 6 - 8 times last week), and i feel that i can accomplish that job rather quickly and effectively.

Here are my ideas: ALL TEAMS need to relay information (if you go as a team... designate one person to relay info). Also, we should have only TWO numbers out there... one for the navigators.. one for the passphrase (lets finalize these by noon tomarrow).

As for digital Images.... We are going to need resort to what we've always done.... post on forums. Ie: take a picture, run to a computer, upload to forums, hope word spreads. There is no real clear way to combat this.

Well.. I could plan this around my schedule as i come to think about it.... I could be at my post the whole time BUT from the times of 8:30 to 10:30 am and again at 11:30 to 1:00 PDT... so my number could be posted... but just keep in mind that if i dont answer.. i'm at class... so we need a 2nd navigator to take up my slack. I am not expecting a high load (about 1 call an hour) anyways... so if anyone want to help out that would be great (i'll even teach you how to do it quickly... after a while I can find directions to a new Axon based on nothing but their current location in less then 2 minutes).

IMO... i doubt that we will need real time picture relay. Think about it... dont you think Melissa just wants us to take the pictures and send them to her with in a days period (with the pictures edited with a SP hidden message). The PMs will seriously need to give us time to edit the pictures with our SP messages... so i dont think the need for picture relay will be needed.

Really, we were totally not prepared last Tuesday and it showed.
Just setting up coordination between teams and nationwide is a successful
exercise and will train us for what is hopefully going to be a ridiculous
couple of weeks.
