    Price shock

    I've had shocking prices at hymor that, when questioned, were "just a joke". Haha, very funny I'm sure. I reviewed then in the woodyard thread. Shame because the guys on the yard are great.

    Notes on Hymor Timber @ Stoke-on-Trent.

    Are they hobby friendly? YES Can you self-select or is it by appointment? THEY WILL HELP YOU PICK THROUGH ENTIRE PILES TO GET THE BOARDS YOU WANT. Will they deliver? I BELIEVE SO, YES BUT HAVE NEVER USED THAT OPTION MYSELF. Do they have online ordering? I DONT KNOW Are prices displayed...

    Marble Run Blocks

    Those plastic ones are actually much better than the wooden ones. We have a small wooden marble run (cost about £20) and the problem with it is it's too unstable. The blocks fall off each other due to the marbles knocking them. We also have a plastic set and the pieces interlock and are tough...

    GCHQ puzzle

    I'm sure they want people who can come up with answers, regardless of methodology. Brute force is valid when it can be applied effectively.

    GCHQ puzzle

    And we have a winner! It was taking too long so I kicked it off again with 20 threads, starting where it had left off. The next stages starts with this : I'll not publish the url that I found unless people want it. Let me know. Pete

    GCHQ puzzle

    I've just started a little script to brute force it. It'll hit all 6*6*6*6*6*6 (46,656) pages in turn and see which one says something other than "Sorry - you did not get all the questions correct." It's up to 1000 already. EDIT : I doubt it'll work though. I'de have made all but one path 6...

    Photobucket Rant

    You have a terabyte of 640x480px pictures? BMPs maybe? Not jpgs surely. Even uncompressed that'd be over 800,000 images.

    Photobucket Rant

    Thanks, yes please don't read my post as criticism of the forum software. Even if it were altering the urls (which I don't believe it is) it is not the forums fault that photobucket doesn't work in chrome. That was the actual issue. Your screenshots are from ie (edge) too so you see the...

    Photobucket Rant

    Not for me I'm afraid. I've disabled adblock thinking some of their functionality might be blocked but no, exactly the same output. Screenshot attached. GOT IT! HA! CHROME! IT DOESN'T WORK IN CHROME. So, that puts the ball firmly back in photobuckets court. It works fine in IE. I stand by my...

    Photobucket Rant

    It may be the forum software being "clever" but it results from photobuckets defaults being grounded in 2003. Case in point. For Sale thread currently on going axminster-workshop-air-filter-t93635.html He has a bunch of photobucket pics in there. If you force refresh the page you can see the...

    Photobucket Rant

    Why do so many people on here use it? They post something with a picture. The forum makes it clickable. I'd like to see the picture larger so I click it. That takes me to sodding photobucket where it displays the picture smaller! Its just such awful unfriendly rubbish. So, why is it so...

    Easyscribe from Rutlands

    It does accept them. It just doesn't display them or use them in calculations of averages. Some brace wearing type probably got a bonus for coming up with that *feature*.

    Easyscribe from Rutlands

    Begin Rant. Please note that this isn't woodworking related. The rutlands website is astoundingly poorly implemented. I'm a software guy by trade and *every* time I go to their site from work it falls over with a lovely old school asp error. HAHA! It's been happening for years. They obviously...
