Happy new year, Dogz all!

This was a totally heinous crime and it is, perhaps, a pity that the bloke couldn't be tried according to Sharia law. Almost as dangerous however, is the style and content of the original blog, which appears to be only a vehicle for one individual's racist hatred. Here's an interesting fact. The eminent young neurosurgeon who operated on me a couple of years ago is a practising Muslim. I can confidently say that he has all the qualities that place a person head and shoulders above the baying mob as typified by the blogger that JP unfortunately stumbled upon.

Here's what Microsoft say: Procedure Entry Point Not Found in Msvcrt.dll File If you have the CD then this is probably the best way to go.

He was trying to put the plane into a spin - but not the flat variety. The stall was intentional but - as he says in his assessment - he used his ailerons when he induced the spin. That was what unbalanced the aircraft. The engine was switched off as part of the "Flat spin recovery technique" which eventually worked.

Well, they should have twigged it when they took on that programmer named Tourette...... This one just took me away Thanks for posting Sweper

Happy birthday from here too, O_T (Do you think we should tell young Colin that the Bus pass & the Winter Fuel payment start at age 60 - or will he find that as depressing as I did? ) best wishes B

Splendid!

10/10 for a perfect wheels-up touchdown. 0/10, however, for forgetting to lower the undercarriage

Me, I'd suggest just using SATA II until the time comes for a new mobo. And hey, never mind the bear, green wellies are just weird and strictly for the chattering classes, new age, Range-rover, Sloane Ranger glitterati, who never pushed a wheel-barrow in anger - let alone shagged a sheep.

Negative! Its for those folks who thought paying $14 USD so they could test out CLOD months before it was available in the States was too good to pass up. After said testing, many of us had deemed the program sub par and not really worth spending the original 40 or 50 dollar asking price. CLOD can be had now for as low a 25 bucks me thinks, and if it gets its stuff together to a level deemed sufficient, which for some at least it is not currently (insert flame war here), may or may not be purchased by several of us in its full English version. Well, you crapped out on a box, a DVD, a Spitfire manual & a cheap tea-towel, so there!

Here's a close-up of the Marconi tuning knob mounted on the three-turn pot I'll have to get the painter back, lazy sod.

Oh sorry, I misread your OP! 10-turn pots, wow.

Very nice work! Those three-turn pots are great - I have one for elevator trimming and it's very exact. B

Damn, I forgot to censor that one Well spotted.

And now for a lot of programming

There may be a way to script that response in the CH Control Manager. I will have to ask Bob Church (CH software creator) if and how it can be done. One button push - runs script that holds X and Y axis steady at current setting - second push - ends script and hands back control. I don't see why that wouldn't work. I certainly have enough buttons! I hope to get on with the control panel tomozz. One of the nifty bits will be a pitch trim-wheel that I can operate with my forearm. It's based on a 3-turns potentiometer and a big grey Marconi knob - and should be very sensitive. I have a cockpit panel light too and a glorious old bakelite starter button. I'm starting to drool with anticipation All my buttons, switches and rotaries are wired up, I just need to drill holes and plug everything into the Bodnar board. And then the fun will start.

Finally, some movement on the home front! My pal, bird-dog, came around and we wired up the new stick: ..just needs about a pint of Bolognese sauce poured over and, ta-da, here is the Franken-Tripehound Mk II It's been plugged in and calibrated in the CH Control Manager, with all axes and buttons recognised. Each device (stick & throttle) has lost a four-way hat. The input has been replaced with four buttons on the stick-head... and two two-way switches from the throttle. The three buttons on the throttle handle have been re-sited on the deck. The two spare axes, one from each device, are at the back of the deck (nearest in photo) Apart from showing up the need for some fettling......this shot shows off the doubled trigger buttons well Just got to finish up the control panel (almost done) and wire the throttle into the Leo Bodnar board and I'll be ready! he heh.

Yup, that's just a bog-standard pint glass - and the crown verifies that it is indeed a full pint and not something slightly smaller. I think it's an offence to serve beer in a glass that hasn't got this mark. The glass is of the style we call a "sleever". The one you have is for girlies - note the bulge about two-thirds from the bottom, designed to prevent the glass falling through the gripping hand. Real men use a straight glass (without the bulge) and rely on their grip to guide the foaming ale to the quaffing-hole. Down South you can also find the other standard English beer-drinking utensil - the tankard. These are fairly girly too, which you can tell by the headless nature of the beer within. Or could that be lager? Real men drink real beer from these.

Also 4Gb OCZ Reaper PC3 12800, 2 sticks for Dual Channel - DDR3 PC1600. Will go well with the above CPU.

Also make sure that the receiver is not buried behind items on your desk. I have MS wireless too and it's usually fine unless my desk is cluttered up....

I would seriously consider water-cooling, especially with Intel procs. I built my own several years ago using various parts easily available on the internet. I'm actually an AMD fan and the fittings haven't changed since Skt 939, so that's a saving. The advantages are many: 1. A water-block doesn't get in the way of anything. If anything it really improves the flow of air around the case. 2. It keeps the CPU that you paid so much for at a lower and more constant temperature so that it will last longer and give better results 3. Water-cooling is quieter than air-cooling. Fewer fans are needed to keep the case cool and the radiator fan doesn't need to be fast or loud. 4. Nowadays you can buy a pre-assembled watercooling set from Antec, Corsair and even Oc UK for around £50. Simples. B
