fearfaoin; I've only just noticed your avatar waving at me. Has it always done that or am I just not attentive enough? :lol:

I thought I'd try it out a couple months ago.
I tried to make it wave infrequently enough
that people might not be sure if they saw it.

:thumbsup: Very good, I was convinced that I was slipping into early senility because I hadn't noticed it before.
I would have been more confused and mentally disturbed if you had replied 'What waving hand?' :lol:

I guess I was looking at the right moment - I've always noticed it. In fact I didn't realize how infrequently it waves until you mentioned it! How do you set the timing? I like it.

Don't worry, C.W.M., someone else would have jumped in pretty fast if fearfaoin HAD said 'What waving hand?' :lol:

Well it was quite stationary for many years,
until quite recently. I used The GIMP to make
the animated gif. The animation creator lets
you set the delay for each frame. I just set
the delay on the first frame really high (about
7 seconds I think).
