Re: Bending Irons

Downunder solution - the guts of an electric hot air paint stripping gun with rheostat salvaged from a dumped fan or column heater.
If you could get your hands on one of those old bar heaters with a rheostat a little bit of sawing and rewiring would do the trick nicely.

Re: Post Recovery: Please help us if you can.

Have the 33 pages for 831 results in page by page form for emailing -this is just the raw results that still have to be trawled and processed. All links work so would very much like to forward this folder to another safe haven or two please.

Re: Post Recovery: Please help us if you can.

With Safari the Google search stays live while you "mail this page" - just did one to myself. Therefore one trawl of http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q ... =&gs_rfai= kept live with individual google pages mailed to another receiver would get one score with non-duplicated song sheets. Have to g...

Re: Post Recovery: Please help us if you can.

@ Puff: I am not sure but I believe that search results do not always come in the same order (may depend on surfing behavoir of the user too?)
Markus that is why I suggested that one searcher, mailing pages from one constantly live trawl. could save a lot of unneeded leg work/ duplication.

Re: Post Recovery: Please help us if you can.

We get 32 pages but the forum only needs between what dates.( ie last good index and crash time) That would reduce the search somewhat. Thirty two members taking a page each at a set time - so google was in that one order for all searchers -might get it done fairly quickly? Another thought would be ...

Re: Recent Server Downtime

As Markus says it could be a lot of work if the likes of Web Archive or whatever that transmogrified into can't be accessed. But. Keywords and Google ie keyword+anzlf could get a heap of it back? Could we all take on a couple or dozen keywords and work on it?

Re: How good is the dollar at the moment.

As Peter says the importers, both here and in Oz, will be clapping for parts, gizmos and finished 'instruments' prices. No point in building what you can't sell unless it's just a hobby. Am of the belief the same manipulators are behind this as were behind the 'recession'. Give 'em all the Lillian's...

Re: Recent Server Downtime

Is there any chance that Google has any archive of "cached" snapshots. Early on in the downtime the forum index at least could still be accessed there. Great work Bob - thanks. Internet Archive perhaps - where's the fingers crossed Smiley? Would kind of like to put Lillian's cat look on the face of ...
