Re: question: nutmeg
Just throwing my one and a quarter new pence in here ... I used to have a rotary nutmeg grinder. We investigated and bought what we thought would be the best. It wasn't all that cheap, from memory. I found it hard to use and awkward, and it lasted abut a year before it broke irredeemably. I went bac...

In case of outages
Hi folks! We have had some Board outages in the recent past. We have managed to enlist help in order to stabilise it, and it seems fine for now. However, in case it does go down, and in order to have one place for updates on progress in that case, please bookmark - or add to favourites - this page .

Re: Time for a refresh
Amazingly, the re-indexing process has just finished. At the rate it was progressing earlier today, I calculated that it would take approximately 20 hours. It's actually taken just under 6 hours, which is exceptionally good going! :) Anybody wanting to use the Search facility - please now feel free ...

Time for a refresh
Hi Folks Every now and then, certain Board functions stop working. This is usually - but not always - because it needs to be re-indexed from time to time. That is a painful process for me, as it takes some days. However, the time has come. During the re-indexing process, I will need to do various th...

And who did they use as their stereo imagining expert in order to figure out where on the asteroid to land the module? None other than Sir Brian May. Yes, that Sir Brian May.

Re: Board Issues
No doubt many of you have encountered maddening glitches in the Board's operation. We have contacted Dreamhost, and at the moment they are troubleshooting the matter. We are aiming for a resolution in whatever way we have to come to it. The main issues are two: lag time when initiating functions (I...

Re: The Introduction of Irish Whistle Tuning Slides?
You are making a lot of assumptions there. I don't think there were any metal whistles before the mid 19th century. I have yet to see any tuning slides in older whistles : the first tuneable whistles were the Generations when they adopted the plastic heads in the early 1950s. Proper slides weren't ...
