Be still my beating heart!

I have always designed it so that the ball-of-foot is over the center of the effective edge length. That sounds about right. Looking at my serious carving tools (all of which are boards or skwals, though, not skis), the insert pack centre seems to be set around the middle of the effective edge. How...

But sometimes I don't like to make too many upgrades and changes unless we really need it, but I do agree that upgrading, e.g., to the new phpBB3, should be in order. It's not just "should be in order", it's "100% necessary". You'll be wanting to upgrade your database at the sam...

Kam I've tried integrating phpBB with other software (a few years back, mind), there's 2 major issues: One is cross-software logins, which is a bugger to solve. Unlikely to be an issue for you if the "main site" is not publically writeable, and the few people with write access aren't worri...

Rather than asking for / requiring funding from the users to cover professional hosting costs (this rarely goes down well and usually ends up with a lot of users quitting the site, especially if it becomes "2-tier" with regards to those who have donated and thosewho haven't), it's probably...

The youngs moduals for bamboo are higher than that of maple or ash or even pine? http://www.waset.org/journals/waset/v34/v34-57.pdf implies the MOE of laminated bamboo is around that of Ash, as far as I can gather at a first glance. Most stuff is for bamboo in its natural form, which is *waaaaay* s...

Lots of trouble, usually serious...


Beautiful skis. Really good work.

I kind of call bullshit honestly. I dunno. I've seen people in deep pow on those teeny tiny snowblade things that are barely longer than a boot. A 135 board should have more float than that, as long as you can maintain speed. [size=0]It looked a lot like walking, though. On a board, it's likely to ...

As far as what I've read, 3 phase has 3 120v lines coming in, but somehow is not a series and somehow works out to be something like 208V. No idea why it is used. 3-phase is used for power distribution because there's less transmission loss. When you have 3-phase to the premises, it's usually then ...

Might have an ES button I can send you. I'll let you know tonight.

Simon.

Edit - nope. We'd decomissioned a couple of draglifts, but the cabinets (and the buttons with them) went off to the scrap at the end of last week, it seems.

Technically, a wiki is a really easy thing to set up. It's keeping it running that's hard. First off, it's really hard to get people to contribute. Especially if other people can come and "contribute" all over what you just wrote. Secondly, it's hard to keep momentum. Once you have a few a...

Copy and paste and you're in breach of copyright. Kam et al put a lot of work into this and ripping it over onto another site is not what you sign up to do. Bullshit. Blog posts are not protected by copyright of the creator of the forum. Not bullshit. You are perfectly entitled to copy your own pos...

scary. Is it wet or hosed down or fed from the bottom? so weird. Looks like it's kept wet by some sort of integrated water feed. This explains it a bit : http://www.snowflex.co.uk/technology.asp I'd be interested to see if it's possible to carve on it without dded your edges or the material itself ...

It's a damn sight easier and safer to cut discs using a table saw.

Ah, dammit. Only just saw this, or I'd have tripped over to cham this afternoon. Would have got me out of plastering, if nothing else.

Hope it went well.
