I just found out that there's a storm in the Atlantic that's suppose to his Louisiana.
But I don't know why they project them to hit one place so early. Generally that far out, it's near impossible to predict
What is the daily post record???
I'm thinking eighty bagillion.
Or maybe eighty bagillion and one. Who knows, I may spurge today.
Are you going for the record today, and do you think you'll go the distance???
I'm going the distance. I'm going for speeeeed.
Alrighty then, let's see what you've got!!!
After lunch. I'm thinking of cooking a gumbo, so it may take me a while.
I've been reading up on people bashing DoEvents() but there's a time and place when it's needed. For example, a while back I was dynamically adding and removing tabpages. When adding the tabpage I ran into a problem where setting the tabpage's text would cause an error because the code was trying to set the text before the tabpage was finished being created. Something along the lines of:
. So I had to place a DoEvent() before the text was added in order for it to work. It wasn't a long running process. I didn't obstruct the flow of the program.Code:Dim tp As New TabPage
tp.Text = "Foo"
TabControl.COntrols.Add(tp)
I'm not so opposed to DoEvents, myself. There are situations when it can cause some unexpected behavior. Just avoid those situations. It's certainly not something you would throw around without any thought, but what is?
It was the TabPage example I posted above. Not quite that simple as I was adding controls to the tabpage and setting the tabpage properties as well, but the reason I brought up the DoEvents() was because of Idents' 'Is DoEvents Evil' link in his signature.
Just saw the post about the storm. This is pretty early in the hurricane season, so it shouldn't be huge. When I lived in the Florida Keys we kept a map on the wall. As soon as a storm was named, we added a pin, then tracked it until it didn't matter. There was an old belief that there was a slot, roughly between Cuba and Bahama, and if a storm got into that slot it was going to hit the Keys. Frankly, I'd say those old-timers were hedging their bets, because by the time a storm got into that slot, it was only hours away from landfall anyways, so it had little time to turn. It's almost like predicting that a storm was going to hit as the coconuts were flying past you.
I like buns.
Me too, man. Me too.
Hey Shaggy, I was reading an article on the internet, and it made me think of you.
Check this out.
Hey dday....you got a shiny new piece of bling. Bling bling bro!!
Yeah, I have no idea how either!
I'm getting into the lighter greens :cool:
By the way Niya, I've been working on a project that'll convert keywords into color. Like "You may want to set up a Public Enum in that case..."
It's an interesting article. Probably impractical for me, though. Whenever it is cold, we have a strong inversion that makes anything that burns a bad idea. Therefore, at the time I could best use heat and electricity (I have an all electric house), I often can't even have a fire in the stove.Quote:

The "colonist" where stuck in a situation where they built a generator, but they where short on gasoline. Sure enough they built a successful wood gasifier and hooked it up to a generator.
I was interested in how people converted their gasoline cars to wood gas cars, and the way that they do it is connect the wood gasifier directly to the carburetor, bypassing the gas tank all together. The reason why they're forced to do this is because wood gas is in a gas state where as gasoline is in a liquefied state when stored in the gas tank. It's really cool.
It's actually possible to convert wood gas to a liquefied state, it's just the amount of energy required to convert it out weights the final product.
I've heard about the wood fired cars following WW II. It seems pretty neat. Of course, you'd then have to be discussing your mpc (miles per chord).
I would imagine those gassifiers are most efficient with the wood in small sizes rather than rounds. Sawdust may not allow sufficient air flow, though, so wood chips probably work best. Of course, this wouldn't change things very much: Friends would still be asked to chip in for gas.
Haha!Quote:

I would have assumed that chips would maximize surface area, but sawdust would act more like a single solid. I've never tried it, though.
Though, of course, I was only setting up the pun.
Dum dum crash.
The heat has even caused Niya to retreat.

Both Niya and wittis have departed? How odd.
I particularly enjoyed reading about how you get your mates to wood chip in for fuel for your wood powered car Shaggy, that was pretty funny. =)
Yes. If they could, they wood, and if they wood, then they could.
How many logs to the mile do you think you would get? O.o
Miles per cord would be a more correct measure, though the cord is such a vague measure that Miles per pound would probably be better.
