My niece Stella is turning six next week

[steve161]

I have her targeted as a future linux user. What I am asking for, as a gift to her, is a shout out from Ubuntu users across the globe. If you would like, include your location, and even a greeting in your first language if it is not English. Photos of your village/city/country would be above and beyond the call. Thanks in advance my friends.

Get them while they're young, or they'll grow up to never appreciate Linux. They might even rebel and use... *gulp*... Windows.

[steve161]

You lived in an artist's rendering? Very Twilight Zone. Thanks, though, for the reply for my niece's birthday. I appreciate that. That goes for everyone who has responded so far.

Edit: I assume 生日快樂 is Happy Birthday in Chinese/Cantonese? Man, I wish I had the discipline to learn that language.

[themarker0]

Edit: I assume 生日快樂 is Happy Birthday in Chinese/Cantonese?

I think it does.

[JDShu]

Yes it does :D

I'm kinda cheating because Chinese is not my more proficient language, but I like being special. Hm... I didn't realize it was an artist rendering haha, it matched my memories well enough.

Tillykke med fødselsdagen her fra Århus i Danmark Stella

STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!!!!!!!


Sorry, couldn't resist.

Happy birthday Stella!

Breithlá Sona Duit!

Všechno nejlepší k narozeninám!

I'm Irish but I live in the Czech Republic so I'm staking claim to three languages :D

That map... it's so... incomplete. It labels Monaco, but doesn't label Albania, Estonia, and other nations that are far larger. Also, it shows Russia colored in, but not its exclave, Kaliningrad Oblast.

Hmmmmm

I know, of course I noticed that. It annoyed me to, but it has the Czech Republic and Ireland on it.

Why are you complaining without providing a better map? It's quite difficult to find one that isn't really messy and yet contains all the country names.
The map I had first showed all the country names, but suggested that Latvia and Lithuania were one country, which I thought was worse than just leaving out names.

[Giant Speck]

Oh, I see what it is. The map comes from a travel agency called Travel Impressions and shows the destinations offered by the company.

STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!!!!!!!


Sorry, couldn't resist.

And may she never have to rely on the kindness of strangers.

Hi there Stella from Porirua, New Zealand.

Grattis på födelsedagen, Stella, from Luleå in the northernmost parts of Sweden.

I'm afraid I couldn't find any nice pictures of this fair city, but I can show you how much snow there is in my back yard at the moment. I only just moved here, so I wouldn't know, but from what I hear, there usually isn't this much snow here.

Maligayang bati sa iyo Stella. A lovely name you have there. :)
My residence is hardly scenic, so I've opted to just attach a shot of this place I visited last year.

Thank you to all who responded. There is still time, so feel free to post a greeting.

What exactly are you going to do with it?
Making a collage of some sort?

Hello Stella! I am from Pennsylvania United States, it was a very sunny day today. :)

Not a bad idea, if I had the knowledge and motivation. Someone, either me or one of the parents, will sit down with her and show her all the birthday wishes. I figured it is a good way to introduce to linux and the international community. And thanks for the additional responses since my last post.

[gymophett]

Happy 6th birthday Stella, from Gavin in Jonesville, Louisiana, USA. :)

[user1397]

Did anyone else upon reading the title of this thread misread the 'niece' part and thought it was 'nice' so ended up thinking you were aging a stella artois bottle of beer for 6 years and wondered why the hell someone would do that? :popcorn:

Say, uncle, we gave you more than enough motivation, didn't we !
You asked for it, now finish it !
And yes, we want to see the end result. :P

You left out the knowledge aspect :p:p. There will be a response from the birthday girl when she sees the thread. Fingerprints and references available upon request.

What I am asking for, as a gift to her, is a shout out from Ubuntu users across the globe.
It's a lovely sentiment. Being from New York myself, living now in New Jersey, my photos are a little close to home, but I did snap a few the past month or so with all the snow we got. Biggest snow we've had in quite a while, and it is certainly the biggest thats fallen in this region within her lifetime.

http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=3614&id=100000714252666&l=efe3d28886

These photos are part of a series documenting a housewarming gift my wife has completed for my good friend Al. My son James is seen shoveling while I take a break to snap the storm photos.

Happy 6th from New Jersey, Stella!

[steve161]

Hey, Stella knows New Jersey. A little familiarity can't hurt. Thanks

And koleoptero, that is a great picture, and would make a great wallpaper. Thanks

I admit I'm a little strange, but not that strange. The aging thing I may be capable of, but asking members to send greetings to a bottle of beer, too weird. :D

[steve161]

Okay, one more bump before the party this weekend. Thanks in advance.

I live near a very beautiful city called Pittsburgh.
