Hi fellow Frosties!
I'm new around these parts, so I thought I'd start with a hello. So, er, hello! Any pointers on house rules and what to do/what not to do (i.e. give me a kick up the arse if I shouldn't be posting this type of thread in here)? I'm the dude in the Snowman cover that's in the Friends of Frost* section, so thanks for all the good comments there :).
I'm normally a Hob-nob man, but I'm quite partial to Rich Teas at the minute.
Welcome to the forums Sned. Do what you like, everyone else does :lol:

Bloody hell!
*bows respeckfly*
Your drumming was crap though, mate.
Anyway, so long as you don't step on the cracks between the boards, you'll be fine.

Just ignore RacingHippo - everyone else does. ;)
Welcome again!
Ah! You found us then! Good to see you made it, as for rules there really aren't many. We just ask that everyone shows respect to everyone else and always leave the last biscuit for Jem.
Welcome aboard sned :D
Welcome, welcome: we're all friends around here.
Watch out for that Trapezium Artist chap though; he winds Nellie and Catherine up occasionally and enjoys enlisting support. Probably because they always give back so much more than they get and he needs the help ... ;)
Terrific Snowman cover, by the way: I just had a watch again and I still like your little chair twirl at the end :D
Actually, TA, Nellie and I are both sulking now as you mentioned the women in your life in a recent post and neither Nellie nor I featured. We feel used and discarded.
Welcome Sned and have some tea with biscuits. Brilliant cover, well done sir.
So you see... we're just like any other people... completely bonkers :D (in a good way of course)
Thanks and hello to you all :).
I shall endeavour to leave the last biscuit for Jem unless it's a mint Club, they're just too tasty - I could never give away my last Club.
Welcome aboard, Sned. Grats on the cover - it was more than just about the music...and that sums up the whole Frost*iverse really.
There's an excellent repository of bits and bobs from Jem and other Frost*ies stored away by the excellent Drarok at www.drarok.com/files/ (http://www.drarok.com/files/)
There are no rules really....other than the obvious limits of decency and respect....and a total ban on 'Now Playing' threads! ;)
Welcome, Sned! Threads can become easily derailed around here, so don't be surprised if - ooh, a blue car! Interesting shade of blue, that one. Sort of like a refined cyan. I like turquoise, personally. I find it nice and relaxing. :)
...which is all well and good but did you know that the moose (North America) or common European elk (Europe), Alces alces, is the largest extant species in the deer family? Moose are distinguished by the palmate antlers of the males; other members of the family have antlers with a "twig-like" configuration. Moose typically inhabit boreal and mixed deciduous forests of the Northern Hemisphere in temperate to subarctic climates.
They also like to be whispered to.
(BTW hi Sned!)
Mousse...that's something I've not had in aaaaaaaaaaages. I used to like it when I was younger and ate it all the time but I can't even remember the last time I ate any. I might get some mousse next time I go shopping. And maybe put it on a biscuit.

Oh gawd ... :(
Ah! :idea: How about this for a rapid attempt at recovery, Catherine?
I was talking about the women in my life, but I can only ever think of you and Nellie as young gals, tripping the prog light fantastic in eternal youth.Ok ... it was rubbish. See, Sned? Even here on this forum, people of the female gender are just as impossible to comprehend as elsewhere in the world. But always worth trying, I reckon ...
Welcome aboard sir!
It's a nice place to come and relax. Just watch out for the bots. They get pushy eat all the biscuits and drink all the beer,relieve themselves and don't clean up afterwards. Just give them a good flying kick and they'll go away ;)

Pah! :evil:
hey Sned. is that like, "hey, it'S Ned!", or is your name really Send, and you just can't type, like me?
oh, and I hit a moose with my Honda Civic once. bastage got up and walked away after he totaled my car.

I'm trying to be shocked at such cold-blooded violence to another creature, but I'm just too impressed at your car-brandishing prowess.
PS. Sned - Please apologise to your drum-loop on my behalf. We drummers just get a bit sore about machines TAKING AWAY OUR
BLOODY JOBSoh a biscuit, thanks Nellie.

Hehe oh don't worry about that - I'm mainly a drummer myself, I just thought that drum loops were fitting for this song (and I did it all in about 3 hours so didn't have time to get drums recorded). I've never really used them before so it was quite a different experience for me.

I think my name might have been "Send" a long time ago and I may have just forgotten. When I was driving down the motorway the other week I had a kamikaze bird fly right at the bonnet of my car - it didn't leave a dent but I've still got some feathers stuck in the grille. I think it might have left a dent if I wasn't on the crappy 50mph roadworks that seem to be spreading like a bad rash over the M1.
Never mind that:
The wave propagation speed in meter per second is the speed at which a wavefront (e.g. an acoustic signal or en electro-magnetic signal such as a radio wavefront, a light pulse in a fibre channel or a change of the electrical voltage on a copper wire) passes through a medium. The propagation speed for transmission in a vacuum, for example wireless communication, is the speed of light, meaning that the VoP of 1 (100%). In electrical cables, the speed mainly depends on the isolating material.
So, now you know. ;) ;) :roll:
Quote from: "Big Black Shed"In electrical cables, the speed mainly depends on the isolating material.
In my experience, specifying different isolation and jacketing material at manufacture seems to have small but identifiable spectral effects; and to some degree I believe that the transmission of the envelope, or "timing" of any set of complex waveforms - rather than just pure frequency and amplitude information-may vary minutely with frequency. And I haven't seen this modelled reliably yet. Thoughts, anyone?
Ah, another day. Hi, Sned. Is the kettle on?
Quote from: "Geetar"... I haven't seen this modelled reliably yet. Thoughts, anyone?
I'll get Pygmy Hippo to have a go. He's got LOTS of Lego to build models with.
What's he like at economic models? I find the little red bricks very useful for representing changes in public sector payroll year-on-year.
Gives a good idea of the size of the bloodbath to come...

No there isn't! I started working on a site at http://frost.drarok.com/ (http://frost.drarok.com/) for people to contribute stuff to, but the stuff at the address you gave is just where I dump anything and everything, there happened to be some Frost* stuff in there, I have no doubt.
Perhaps you meant http://www.drarok.com/frost/ (http://www.drarok.com/frost/) which is where I duplicated a load of stuff. :)
D'Oh, my bad.
Thanks for doing it though, it's been great to wander back through some stuff. :D
I keep meaning to tidy it up a bit, add a few files that aren't on there, but I get distracted so easily... :9
