    Happy Birthday

    Awww, thanks Clark. :) (only just found this thread :oops: ) Theoretically I postponed my birthday until I have time to celebrate it properly, but I've made a few exceptions and this can be one of them :D

    Maths question... My maths sucks ;)

    actual A / reading A = actual B / reading B ( actual A / reading A ) * reading B = actual B (4.35/4.25)*54 = 55.27 Assuming that it's a constant and linear under-reading. *edit, sounds like he's got it set up for the wrong sized wheels.

    Oooh what am I?! *Edit - cool, sturdy stem soldier :lol:

    Nano tanks section

    Tried that and got an error, besides it's still not as obvious as the 'view your posts' button here! edit* Got it to work but it doesn't show which threads have new activity on or not, they all look unread even though I'm logged in. Anyway I should probably post this on TFF :roll:

    Nano tanks section

    This is why I never take on positions of power - I am always the secretary... I just sit in the back and opine while occasionally making sure things happen. :) Myself and Miss Wiggle had a few weeks of suggesting to people on TFF that they should follow the rules in the Buy/Sell/Swap section...

    Nano tanks section

    Could do, the advantage of having them with some sort of delimiter and always in the same order is that they're easier to scan if you're looking for something specific.

    Nano tanks section

    I don't think it would matter, so long as most of the journals were done it would make searching them a lot easier - also don't forget that titles can be changed by the original poster so they could be updated easily enough :) :D it's a larger club than you realise, it's just that most of the...

    Nano tanks section

    Maybe we should make a recommended title format, a bit like the Buy sell and swap section. [size][tech][type]name So mine could be: [30USG][High][Jungle] The Upgrade Any of the sections could be left blank and then if you're a newbie it could be something '[20USG][?][?] testing the water'...

    Nano tanks section

    Would agree with that one Dan, but I would keep in mind the idea of segmenting the journal section when it gets bigger. :) Thanks for the feedback :D

    Nano tanks section

    hehe, I'm sure it's getting worse, Our supervisor came in the other day and complained that the robot lab was looking a state, my colleague commented it was because there were lots of little bits... he reckoned we needed a drawer... My mind went straight to one of those tool boxes with lots of...

    Nano tanks section

    It's because of the stuff behind the right hand column, but it's ok because my ukaps tool kit stands neatly in front of the left hand side and lines everything up again :) yes I am sad enough to have noticed and thought about it!

    Nano tanks section

    Awww but it could be so neat and tidy and you'd always know where to find everything! :lol: For anyone wondering what on earth we're talking about

    Nano tanks section

    Hmmm, every fibre in my body wants to 'organise' the forum into neat little categories... however I take the point that we're not quite at the size where it needs to be organised like that! :lol:

    Nano tanks section

    It might be good to have different sections in the journals area, not just nano but styles as well. Plus a beginners/first scape area might be a nice idea. Not sure if that's possible as I've noticed you've only gone to a depth of one everywhere else.

    SNOW!!!!

    Ditto, I played with the curves to get the contrast I wanted as my camera (and later my phone) were completely flummoxed by the snow. :lol:

    SNOW!!!!

    Yup, had plenty here, the uni is officially closed for both Monday and Tuesday, but since when has that stopped us! I got there about 8:30am yesterday and armed with my camera took loads of photos. :) Am now waiting for all my batteries to recharge ready for this afternoon, I want to take...

    Buyers rights?

    I've had mixed experiences with the living seas, partly down to my own tardiness. Generally they are a good source of cheap hardware, I got my light units, filter and heater from them without any issues. However when my heater started to stick on getting a replacement one was a nightmare...

    Buyers rights?

    Get a phone number and have an actual conversation. If they claim to have posted it then ask for the couriers details and the tracking number and follow it up from there. If they claim it's still in their warehouse then they should be able to cancel and refund the order if that's what your...

    Train tickets to ADA Event at TGM - Heeeelp

    Not sure they'll be of help this time around but megatrain do some fantastic deals.

    Check out my RSPCA news story and blog!

    As I've posted on the blog, there may be factions which think our hobby is wrong but that just means there's education to be done. The last thing the OATA needs is the RSPCA deciding that it's going to take an interest in fish trade in competition with the OATA, they need to work together and...

    Bank Charges?

    Hmmm, as a Nationwide user who doesn't go over her authorised overdraft I find this a little annoying. I have had one cheque bounce in my entire life and it was when I was 17, I learnt my lesson, Nationwide were great, took pity on me and refunded me the £25 and it didn't happen again. While...

    Where are you from?

    I wonder what distance metric it uses to sort... euclidean at best, alphabetical at worst ;)

    Where are you from?

    That is quite cool, is it auto generated? Shame there's no obvious way to zoom in.

    Where are you from?

    Guildford, Surrey (one day the forum developers will cotton on that this is done a lot on forums and will link the profile info into a map so you can see/search for people local to you. As it is we have to make do with threads like this :roll: )

    suggestion - plant index

    What would be really nice would be to create a front end that once the data has been collated allows you to search on height/light requirements etc. I envisage it being a bit like an ebay search with check boxes and it returns thumbnails with scientific names and a link to the data...

    facebook

    Yeah, I've had a few through too. Please don't be offended if I don't add you, I tend to keep Facebook for people I've actually met offline... Which I suppose means I am really going to have to sort out a way of getting to the next meet. :roll: :wink:

    I'm there too :)

    What do you do?

    Unless of course you live somewhere without a poundland or equivalent. In which case it often is cheaper to buy for a couple of quid off ebay :roll:

    What do you do?

    PhD student - in my final year trying to get a computer to understand sign language. So image processing and computer vision. The only difficulty is I have no idea what I want to do when I finish, except that I don't want to spend the best part of my life sitting in front of a computer hidden...
