Hello Monkeymike!

I am the editor of the Geological Society of London's monthly magazine Geoscientist. In November we are carrying a feature about Cwm Idwal, and Darwin's visit there... I have been looking around for illustrations for this piece, which is a little short on such things, and found your excellent photos. I was wondering if you would be kind enough to allow us to use them to illustrate this piece, which is provisionally entitled CHARLES DARWIN’S VISIT TO CWM IDWAL, JUNE 1842 by Dr Peter Worsley of Reading University.

I would of course credit you with the authorship of any pictures we use, but perhaps you would like this to be done under your real name?!

I look forward to hearing from you.

With best wishes

Ted

The gods must have it in for the lot of us then!!!

...hmmmm maybe it's not such a poor strategy after all. If we use up other peoples cheap resources first and then only exploit our own when the price is right...then we would probably be maximising the return...

I think that a lot of the current energy is wasted anyway. Big Brother for instance (the TV program not the totalitarian state) that's got to be a waste of hundreds of mega watts.

We've been taken over by the marketing men and spin doctors, haven't we? Future of the UK? I'm not surprised that a lot of Scots want out now - maybe they'll have a chance if they stand on their own. Here we are, a country surrounded with oil and gas reserves, and coal fields under the land, yet we're facing severe energy problems. "Those whom the Gods wish to destroy, they first make mad..."

That would explain that then.

Wrote the theme toon, sing the theme toon....

etc.

I didn't realise he narrated it as the only bit I ever saw was the 3 seconds that it took me to reach the remote control. This tended to be the " and now on BBC (Whatever) Button Moon!" & 0.087923 of Button Moon.

I thought everyone knew about him doing the song for Button Moon. The actual programme was written and narrated by him and his annoying-voiced american wife.

I'm dual booting on a slave drive. The XP remains on hda while ubuntu sits on hdb
I've still got ~50Gb of unallocated left on hdb.

I'm finding it quite nice. You can run skype on it, it comes with openoffice 2 and there is a software channel that's got loads of stuff to download.

It detects my USB key, my digi camera and (with an extra software package) my mp3 player

You can even run Azures bittorrent on it.

Nvidia has got a driver package (which is just as well as it runs like a pig without) The only thing I haven't found just yet is a good wysiwyg web site editor.

oh and frozen bubble is great fun.

Have you duel booted with Ubuntu, or re-installed over existing windows OS? Either way, is it any good?

They're moving the atomic clock from Rugby to somewhere else in the middle of nowhere, possibly Cumbria. Of course they might have already moved it but I can't remember. Now when they make/made the move, anyone in the midlands would see their clocks all get that tiny bit less accurate. Ok, a boring story I know but boring stories is all you get living in the midlands.

funnily enough that only happens to EVERYONE ELSE. not us!!

this whole webworld is wasting my life. I thought that after two weeks of having a website you automatically became a millionaire.

I think it's because of the BLOG. my first appearance on google was as a link on an updated blog list. (that's now gone) I think it did the trick!

Y'lucky google pics you up at all. I still can't get any joy with wild weasel!

Hi, I did try to tell you that you had a gambling problem. You wouldn't listen though. Maybe you have learned your lesson?

Yeah, but that means dropping all the other functionality that comes free with XP.
Like; Genstat, minitab, mapinfo, mathcad and a proper antivirus programs to go with the proper viruses that XP can get.

There is another program you could have used. It is called OSX!
