Cels Forum

No, no, no, guys. . . Here's how best you can do this:

1) Decide what you're most interested in looking for. Say, for example, cels from Fushigi Yugi and Ranma. (Just to
pick two out of the blue.)

2) Go to the pages of those cels the day before the update so that all the pictures are currently in your computer's
cache. (This reduces downloading time for those of us with slow browsers - only new cel pictures have to download.
NOTE! If you have a browser that cleans out the cache when it closes down, you'll have to leave the browser running
and just manually disconnect from the phone line.)

3) Write yourself a letter "blank" to Yann. This means, have all the info you that can type in advance already
typed in, with a blank left for cel numbers and descriptions. Highlight the whole letter and "copy" it, so
that it is in your computer's cut/paste file. (If you need to send a second letter, a second blank is easy to make!)

4) Set your alarm for 3:55a (assuming the update is at 4a) and go to bed at your usual time but leave your computer
*ON* when you go to sleep. (Saves boot-up time later.)

5) When the alarm goes off, drag your butt out of bed. Your computer is already on and completely ready to roll, you
shouldn't be waiting through obnoxious download times because most of the page is already in your cache and you
won't have to speed type trying to put together a letter. Stay up for about 10-15 minutes, get what you want, and go
back to bed. If you stay up for no more than about twenty minutes, biologically your body shouldn't notice. (Asuuming
you're one of those people who *CAN* go back to sleep after getting up at night.)

This is my tried and true method of getting *any*thing done that requires me to be up at ungodly hours (taping Pay-Per-
View movies, babysitting Ebay auctions as they end, etc). I'm never blitzed when I go to work the next day and my
husband doesn't mind so long as I don't do this more than three or four times a month. :)

(He darn well shouldn't mind! He's a Transformers collector and his rarest, most expensive one was won for him by me in
this exact way! I better never hear a complaint. ;)

So post the new cels whenever you like, Yann. Just let me know - I'll be the one in front of my computer in panties
and plush, moose-shaped slippers. :)

Many Sharp Smiles,
