Getting better all the time

Header pipes need a clean, mind. But God, those new Hagon shocks make a
difference.

bandwith pikeys)

I've also got an as-new front mudguard and some ditton European spec bar
for it.

Is it my eyes or does the oil look a bit low? Of course the engine could
have been running.

 

Ver' nice indeed. A good example of an 'honest' Zed. I hope these will start
to appreciate over the next year or two. There's not many left in that nick.
It may be worth getting the wheel spindles/nuts, rear footrest brackets and
a few other rusty bits replated or painted. Not a criticism, just be nice to
do the finishing touches I reckon, as the rest is rerally nice.
You're right though, the US spec bars do not suit the 650 at all.
Top job sir.

what's wrong with re-sizing the picture to a sensible size, you lazy cnut?

seriously, though, I've just looked at it on a 1600x1200 monitor and only
about half the picture fits on at a time. My rule of thumb for casual
internet pics is "resixe 'til it fits in an 800x600 window and compress to
100KB".

If you want to send a "good" picture then about 1200x900 and about half a
meg is more than good enough for any normal purposes. Only time you can't
easily have too many pixels is for printing.

Oh, BTW, the bike's looking very pretty...

Use a decent browser and it auto-resizes.

 

It had been - just parked up.

I do. At least, I don't use IE. have to admit I've not tried it in Opera,
I suspect that might do auto-resizing. I don't think mozilla does, or maybe
I've turned it off and forgotten about it.

 

feckin' show-off. I bet it didn't fit on that, either.

 

You can turn that off if it bothers you.
Tools->Internet options->Advanced->Multimedia

The problem with overlarge pictures not being resized is the extra
bandwidth, e.g. we're so overloaded here that port 80 traffic is throttled
and it's not unusual to only get 5-10 KB/s downloads (not ideal when you
have to get a 280 MB upgrade from CERN!).

From what I've seen 99% of academic bandwidth is used by students either
gaming or looking at porn.

 

well, each to their own. I have it on the system here for 2 reasons: 1)
it's almost impossible to install XP without it, and 2) there are some sites
that are so bug-ridden that only something with micosoft's "flexible"
attitude to standards will look at properly. Often, they've been written
using micorosft's non-compliant software.

 

...which is why I get 800 KB/s transfers at 9 am and 5 KB/s by 6
pm. I managed to get around port 80 throttling the other day, to get a
Scientific Linux CERN DVD .iso, by running Mozilla at CERN and downloading
to a scratch directory there, then scp-ing it to my laptop -- took 50 mins
in all for 2.4 GB. If only I could convince them to distribute using
protocols other than http.

You are half way there really as you have identified a time(money)

Nice one! Don't tell the students.

I download a lot of big stuff at the local library and the speed is
excellent, allowing for day-to-day englingements, but I can't use ftp
either. Shame, but only a mini-niggle for me anyway.

 

The entire Uni feed is 100 Mbps. They've installed a 1 Gbps link,
but the fibre's broken somewhere in Hillingdon, I hear... I'm trying to
convince the boss to get 8 Mbps broadband on the outside line we have for
our FAX!

Beyond bogglery. That is pathetic.

Fucking hopeless shambles. Probably some oik from NTL putting a digger
hoe through it.

Just do it without telling him.

 

Firefox does - switch between resized and full sized with the left
click of a button.

 

ah, I see there's a "resize to fit" in the appearance menu; having turned
this on it does as you describe...

....doesn't stop it wasting bandwidth, mind.
