DC-Forums Avatar Badge HowTo

[blackwave]

Greetings, I have gotten a few emails and PM's regarding how to make your own dc forums avatar badge... here is the way I made mine last year and updated it for this year's defcon, also including a little bit of history and what not... :

Hopefully it will be of use to you :)

I printed mine on a floppy disk label, I can do that for anyone interested. If anyone wishes I will make up business cards for you with your Avatar, e-mail, handle, and any other information you want that will fit on it.

Sometimes you put a so much effort into things that it frightens me. Great Job though. And making it idiot proof is pure genius.

Thanks, it is either that or sleep :) Besides I like the idea of write once, run anywhere :D Believe it or not, it does save me time in email correspondence :)

That's what you get for being friendly.

Well you need a flat paper path and the ability the change the tension bar so the whole disk fits under it. Or just print on the LABEL and then peel the label off the paper and stick it to the disk. No one will ever know. :D

Now, tell me how you write "Happy Birthday" on a birthday cake using a typewriter!!!

[encrypt31945]

I forgot about the label.
As for the birthday cake, I am completly stumped. :D

[encrypt31945]

Hey! I am not a newbie.... Wait I think I am.
Damn this really sucks. Anyway I already have your secrets Hahahaha! *encrypt runs off to use Hax0r secrets

[astcell]

Damn, I had planned to sell that secret on Ebay to pay for my Defcon trip!

[encrypt31945]

You could still in a way. Just make custom disk avatars for people.:D

[astcell]

I doubt I can make money at it, I mean if you can register to post on this board you can probably print on an avery label!
