  1. I was fixing my mates mums computer, she's a fairly straight, christian teacher in a primary school and was nattering away. She was telling me about a time she was making a christmas worksheet thing, using google to find pictures "So I was searching for 'donkey' on google, and you would not believe the pictures that came up!"
  2. Download the file you need to edit (use an FTP client to connect to the server), edit it in a text editor, upload it back to the web server with your FTP client. Ps no idea what expression engine is!
  3. Ok, I blame iOS in that case The embed code for videos is so simple now it'll be up to vimeo or apple to fix it. I'm refraining from upgrading my iPad..
  4. Does this work? http://www.trials-fo...k-donovan-2012/ I've changed the embed code. Will look at youtube now.. edit: youtube http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/topic/177579-russian-guys-vid-from-spain/
  5. I'm sure a hollow patch is fine. When you're working so closely with things, it's easy to see the tiniest mistake. In fact, my bathroom tiles were all slightly concave which meant if I lifted one I could see that they hadn't fully bedded in the middle, but they're fine. Nobody knows, except me. And now TF My bookshelves are coming on nicely. Finally feels a bit more like a home rather than a painted shell.
  6. Got a 2m iphone cable with usb plug thing. I can finally use my ipad and charge it at the same time whilst sitting further than 20cm away from the wall! Thanks for posting the link
  7. PM me, but, read what I'm about to say I have about 9 envelopes left ready packed with stickers. I'm back in pembrokeshire now (where the stickers are) but they seem to have disappeared. On top of this, having just checked my PMs, I've got a lot more than 9 requests for stickers. Bugger. So, I'll go through the PMs on a 'first come first serve' basis, but when the 9 are gone then they are gone. I'll probably get some more printed up, this time maybe a bit different - I'm thinking a single sheet than incorporates everything
  8. I would, but I don't have the time at the moment. If you want to create a topic I will pin it for you and keep it clean (delete comments). People are naturally going to want to comment in each video so if you could include the link to each topic too that'd be pretty sweet.
  9. Yeah, why the feck did they put it there?! According to the plasterers that's pretty standard for houses in Cardiff. Thanks! At one point I wasn't even going to go for spotlights, really glad I did now - without them on it all looks a bit dull. I guess I wanted to avoid the hundreds of spotlights and a massive TV on the wall look. I'm always thinking about eventual resale value, and I think if people can see it would be easy to either remove the spotlights, or remove the pendants then maybe they wouldn't be put off by either I shamefully stole the colour from a similar 'diy build thread' on avforums.com I can't take credit. Sounds like a big (fun) job you have there! make sure you post pics! Nah, it's just grass really, for eating (eventually)
  10. I'm finally getting round to putting in some 'finishing touches' downstairs. Built a book case yesterday (one more to go which will go in the other alcove), props to the B&Q wood cutting service. I left the measurements with them, told them what thickness of MDF and came back 3 days later, and they'd cut all of the main component parts of 2 massive bookcases for me - all for a grand total of £78. The backs of the bookcases are tongue and groove cladding from wickes. Obviously need to finish them off and paint them white. A before/during/after pic. PS thats a lemon grass growing in that pot. Its getting massive. Can't wait to harvest my first lemon grass, might be another few years
  11. Sounds like a plan. Good luck! As for handing in the actual notice, I just printed one off monster.com - pretty formal wording but had an informal chat with my manager to let them know why I'm off.
  12. Ah, I think I know what that is! I'll get it fixed later. PS - top marks for using the preview thing
  13. Nice one dude! Thanks Will be going through my pms next week some time, the stickers are about 100 miles away from me at the moment and I won't get back to them until next Wednesday
  14. you'll be able to once you have 5 posts (there should be a message explaining it at the top of your screen)
  15. You need to click on the video in youtube, and paste the URL. You've just linked to the 'my videos' page!
  16. wahay, an actual sticker on a bike! I'd have gone for white on black, red on white though, personally
  17. Alright chaps, I don't mind really. They should be with everyone shortly
  18. There are 3 answers, 25%, 50% or 60%. The bit that makes it confusing is that the answers are percentages. If you replace the percentages with something else, eg cat, dog and horse, then you the chances of the answer being cat (25%) are higher than dog (50%) or horse (60%). But you still can't be sure.... Gah! Edit, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Hall_problem is a similar thing, worth a read although the Wikipedia article is a bit long. Even got my dad with this and he is usually on the ball with this kind of thing.
