I have a wifi iPad but it's deaf. I need to be standing pretty much on top of the transmitter for it to work. Just spent 24 hours at my parents house. They have wi-fi but though my lap top picks it up in any room in the house my iPad can only do it in one room. So yes I do but can I guarantee it will work? No.Cheers

I believe that my iphone can go online. But I've never tried.
Come to this thread for cutting edge technology and in constantly being in touch on the move :-)
That edge couldn't cut butter!
isn't the trailing edge the one that gives the lift?
You know all about it if it get stuck in the lift
There's a question for you in the introduce yourself thread, Jim.Great blog post again, by the way.
Gonna go find it on Facebook so I can share it.
Jim wrote: "isn't the trailing edge the one that gives the lift?"Not really. Lift is a complex combination of angle of attack and airfoil shape, and a healthy dose of Newtonian physics.
No it's isn't.It's a mixture of fairy dust and fervent prayer.
Depends if you are doing it in theory or practise.
And it's a bit of a misnomer anyway, as it is the reaction to the creation of a loss of air density & pressure, and would be better termed 'Suck'
Yes, but 'lift' is classier.
yeah, it should be called 'push' (stand behind a spinning prop or underneath a helicopter and tell me that is "suck"... ;))
Stand in front of the prop, and you might think differently Tim....
Oh Jim. Do download the medieval book, please.I'm learning all about building cathedrals.
Go to Barcelona and finish that one off then!

Remember I've still not got anything other than the desktop to read it on yet, and looking at the price, it's actually pretty cheap second hand paperback :-)
Then buy the manky paperback!
Well the Kindle edition is £5.03. I can get the paperback secondhand 'very good' for £2.81
Order it.I just finished a great chapter on medieval books.
There's no way I paid £5 for it. It must have been on offer at some point.
I always buy whichever edition is cheaper (even hardback sometimes!). Some people price their ebooks way too high!
Dunno about people, Tim. Publishers certainly do.
Sorry, my telepathy must be on the fritz today.
A whole day of formatting for me.What joy!
Where you going Mary?I have no idea what that meant, Tim.
my typing is on the fritz?Kinda loses its potency when you have to explain it! Ho hum!
France. Alsace. See the Gumbee Fantasy Writers' Guild page header? There. Lovely hotel, with pool. Should be fun. Not much internet access though as I'll be taking the iPad only so unless we're within about 5ft of the hotel's wi-fi station, I won't be able to pick it up. There are a couple of blog spots popping up while I'm away. I've done Katie's silly and sensible questions blog, although it's difficult to tell which are the silly questions and which are the serious ones.Cheers

I also did something for Rosen's current project which was well scary because that's playing with the big boys and girls ;-) proper authors there. Cheers

I wonder if our fritz talk is completely PC, Tim. ;)That sounds glorious, Mary. I've still not been to France. :(
Oh! Like your typing! I got there in the end!
This feels like the transit lounge a an international air terminal. I get this overwhelming urge to lose everybody's luggage for them just to help make the experience feel authentic
Bet you wanna charge us all £3 for a bottle of water, too.
Well if you want to drink the cut price water go ahead, but frankly I think you'd be better paying £8 a pint for the lager, with complementary peanut.
And you say you're no good at marketing.
Does the peanut say nice things about the lager?

A man walked into a bar and sat down, and ordered a beer. As he sipped the beer, he heard a soothing voice say “nice tie!” Looking around, he noticed that the bar was empty except for himself and the bartender at the end of the bar. A few sips later the voice said “beautiful shirt“.At this, the man called the bartender over. “Hey…I must be losing my mind,” he told the bartender. “I keep hearing these voices saying nice things, and there’s not a soul in here but us.“
“It’s the peanuts,” answered the bartender.
“Say what?“
“You heard me,” said the barkeep. “It’s the peanuts … they’re complimentary.“
I once saw a shop offering complimentary medicine. Mind you, I always feel better when someone's nice to me!
I got in trouble at work for sending round emails about the stationary order...
Well you wouldn't want it whizzing around. Someone could get hurt.
Specially if its for drawing pins!
True story: a colleague sent an email with an attachment to some secretary asking her to forward it to her boss. Came the reply: "The attachment got lost first time. I resent it." It took quite a while to calm the colleague down.Email is a dangerous thing.
So is a little bit of literacy :-)Hang on, paranoia kicking in, why are we all standing round on my author thread talking about howlers and misspellings!
Are you trying to tell me something :-(
