5000 films? Did you mean to say 5000 films? Don't worry Deborah. It sounds like you have enthusiasm for this role & lots of good ideas. We usually take about 3-5 years to make a decision anyway, so that gives you plenty of time to do what you were planning. There seems to be a surprising amount of e...

neil

Ok, that seems to be fixed. Some of the code changes for this mod had been wiped out during the upgrade. I've combed through most of it, but not all, so there may still be little bugs. Seems fine though. Anyone upgrading the bb: please keep in mind that overwriting files will wipe out any modificati...

I know this will be unpopular, but I'd like to suggest we dispense with the film night in its current form. We pay money to the PPL every year for the right to show commercially released films. It's a couple of hundred quid. This is money we could save. The idea of going local/independent with our m...

neil

Milk, what more do you need? This has been taking forever....

neil

Any chance of action on this? Any more info I need to give?

I no longer have access to forest servers so there's nothing else I can do. But if nobody else is going to fix it then please give me the required permissions and I'll do it at some point.

neil

I went to the forest website to look up the date of the next admin meeting. The main message on the main page is this:

PLZ NOTE: Cafe and gallery will be shut on
Saturday 21st & Sunday 22nd Feb
for rewiring works

Just sayin'

Do you know Vijay? He lives in London & rides a penny farthing. I could pass on his email if you like.

Re: lockable box for tools. There is a big lockable metal cabinet in the workshopp room. This was originally intended for locking valuable tools to prevent theft. Sadly, it was never kept locked. I don't know what happened to the keys. I may still have one. I'll have a look for it if the cabinet is ...

neil

Thanks, Amelia. I think Duncan & I shall take your disagreement to be a validation of our point.

neil

I'm afraid my freecycle request for red paint has yielded nothing.

neil

That is so sad. Thanks for posting this. I only knew Ellie vaguely, and would not otherwise have known. It's always tragic when someone dies so young. She will be missed.

neil

Sorry, I totally didn't contribute, wasn't at the meeting and I couldn't think of anything good, but I'm going to express an opinion anyway. me too.... It's vulgar. Not only that but it's classic design by committee, a degenerate mash of creative elements to achieve consensus. this is absolutely tr...

As far as I remember, the only mod I applied to the new bb was View or Mark Unread Posts

neil

Duncan, which version did you upgrade from/to? Were any of these files changed or replaced... common.php search.php viewtopic.php includes/constants.php includes/functions.php includes/functions_display.php includes/functions_privmsgs.php includes/ucp/ucp_pm.php includes/ucp/ucp_pm_viewfolder.php la...

neil

Under "view unread posts", is the "mark forums read" button working for people?

It ain't doing it for me, roughly since the time of the upgrade, I think.

neil

I've taken down the grants posters from the cafe. They're next to the till.

neil

Nooooo! Multiple posting = bad!! One bb post is enough for any subject.

neil

I finally brought this in today. Sorry, I know it would've been better if I'd managed it before everything was rewired! Anyway, I forgot to put it in the workshop and I left it in a plastic bag on the floor of the cafe. Yes, I am a twat. I did put a label on it, though, saying what it is. So if it t...

Yes. How about I bring it in and forest can either use it or involve it in some kind of free shop related event? Is there a place I can put it? Workshop?

neil

Does forest want a wee fan heater? It's the kind that can be mounted above a door. It's not very powerful. There are 3 settings: 800w, 1200w & 2000w. Has a short cable. Was previously hard wired to mains so has no plug.

Let's give in the notice. Need to get a MAC code from BT. I can do this if it is what the people want. I checked Virgin. As far as I could tell, they are more expensive and they like to limit your gigabytage. Be is unlimited subject to fair usage policy. Anyone know how much gigabytage we use per m...

neil

I just checked with BT. We are paying 29.99 + VAT per month. Apparently we max out at 8Mbps, though of course we probably only get about 4 or 5.

One month's notice is required to quit.

Fair enough, but anything that can be done to make the process of switching everything off easier will make it more likely that people will actually do it. Leaving aside such delicate things as computers and PAs, even if there was a master switch that put off all the lights in the building it would ...

neil

I can't find the thread, but I think someone recently mentioned upgrading the broadband to get more bandwidth. I don't know where we are contractually with BT, but maybe it's worth switching to another provider such as Be, who are apparently very cheap, fast and reliable. This is the Be Pro package:...

neil

This is a pretty crazy idea, but having put loads of energy in the past into trying to get people to switch shit off, and having realized that it is impossible (sorry for pessimism), I believe this is the only way to get everything off at the end of the day: IF the building is to be rewired, you nee...

Rather than barring, you could suggest that if they don't like it they don't have to keep coming. You could even go a step further and say we'd be happier if people with that attitude didn't come near us. I guess the two main options are to either continue stonewalling her, or write back explaining ...

Every year during August the Forest runs a theatre and arts programme alternative to the mainstream Edinburgh Festival events.[citation needed]

what would be the best article to cite for this citation?

no sign. word of mouth.

is there going to be a system for out of hours drop off?

unbelievable. swap system will kill the free shop. even freecycle refuses to embrace a swap system. if this happens i will be mourning the loss of something great.

I thought Matter was pretty good in the end. Not as good as The Player of Games or Excession, but worth reading. I liked it's ruminations on the meaning of death, and altruism.
