No recommendations as we are currently looking at taking a 1 year old in a month or so time.

Esprit seem to be the choice of operator with childacre facilities. Chalets I ahve looked at seem on the whole to want you to book the whole chalet asa group beofe you can bring babies – fair enough really.

Looked at sorting out independant childacare but this seems quite expensice circa £700pf for the nanny.

And mine.

Epping Forest is still a mudfest, hopefully the predicted cold spell will firm the ground up a bit before this weeks night ride.

Doesn’t even need to be a Garmin HRM Strap, any Ant+ strap will do.

Prolly easiest to connect a computer directly to IP Cam and give PC a IP of 192.168.0.x then configure the camera to use 192.168.1.x
(Might need a crossover cable not a normal cable)

Or

You can change the subnet masks on your router and devices from 255.255.255.0 to 255.255.254.0

Note: with the above some home routers won’t support this as they do not allow a Class C Network with a Class B subnet

Is your current network also on the 192.168.0.x ip range?

My favourite at the moment.

banana
cup milk
2 Tbs. of honey
1/2 cup granola
1/2 cup of ice

Might be an idea to offer financial incentives for early sign up, and/or publish a early closing date for entries. Seems to work very well in the Triathlon worlld.

Without incentive what is the point in people parting with entry fees early?

Of course you need a popular event for this to be viable.

Merry Xmas (I don’t want to fight) – Ramones
A couple of tracks from the Bowling for Soup album – Merry F**kin’ Xmas

Mostly just punctures. If on nearer to home I swap the tube, If nearer to work I get someone to come and pick me up.

Always found skiworld to be reasonably priced with nice Chalets

I have one. Screen clarity makes my original iPad look like something from the 90s. Have not seen a retina iPad so cannot compare.

I had to have a quick google to get the hang of the interface but once that was done it became very easy to navigate.

Having landscape as default is taking a little getting used to and so makes me think of it more as a laptop than a tablet. Seems reliable enough so far. Needs more apps. Both the on screen and the soft cover are nice to type on. Is nice having proper (nearly) office.

Having seperate user accounts is a big plus.

Still getting used to it but currently if wanting to look something up quickly on the net I still reach for the ipad.

Hopefully as more apps become availible and I get used to it surface will become my default device.

Sharepoint There is a free version but cannot remember name offhand. Might be Search server?

I have used http://www.gradwell.co.uk for the past 5 years.

I thought the Olympic park was going to be shut to the public until 2014

I think what the point of my thread is this; who’s started from this point of utter beginnerness? I’ve thrashed about on MTBs for over 20 years, and take for granted my level of skill.

Me

Always fancied doing a Triathlon, finally entered one last year. Could barely swim, had not run in years, wrong side of 40 and fat. Was surprised to find that running came relatively easy, I took that as being due to cycling. Swimming I persevered with and while I upped the distance the speed remained constant. Did a couple of shorter distances and was both surprised and pleased to finish in top half of the field.

August last year I read Andy’s book, got me thinking……..

Entered an IM, bought myself Be Iron Fit by Don Fink and used his 30 week training plan. Lessons learned. Build the running up slowly as you will injur yourself. Get swim coaching the sooner the better and also get some OW practise. And despite what Lance says it IS All about the bike.

Unless you are single/have no responsibilities you will need to organise training time well and be prepared for early morning starts.

I will be doing another IM next year.

I have literally just binned one of these, now sitting in a bin bag in my back garden. As above it is serial so need a USB to serial adapter unless you have an old pc.

Yours for cost of p+p if you want?

Just tell him your IP, then he can do what he wants with his DNS as long as he gives you details for your host header.

Just under 2mb, not as slow as some on here but I am in London. Apparantly I am a long way from the exchange

Then the Sex Pistols

not dead last time I looked?
Frank Zappa and Janis Joplin top my list

OP should also consider salary sacrifice for childcare vouchers

Unless you are already in a scheme there is now no more benefit between 20,40 or 50% tax payers.

Olympic lanes kick in tomorrow so guess commute will get a bit worse.
Crowds of kids in swimming pool at lunchtime are abysmal.

It’s right up there with the Joh Frankland rock in Hackney

So you apply for tickets and get none.
You then book a family holiday.
You then go and buy a ticket for the race knowing you are on holiday?

Or have I read that wrong?

Not as quick as Mike Hall but he eventually managed round the world.[/url]

Had the first 3 months ago at age 43, missus is 33.

Bit of a pattern emerging here on the age differences.

Just started using the new ‘premium’ one – get some very erratic readings. Think I might revert to the old plastic one.

Valid all London Zones but must produce Olympic ticket if asked.

One lot of mine arrived this morning. Also included a travel card valid on sameday as tickets.

Druidh – That looks like a Mk2 gamma, certainly tank is Mk2 colour and from that pic it looks like 4 pot callipers on the front?

Also owned a RG 250 back in the day and several 350 LCs and orignal slabside GSXR 750

To use ipod as a source you will need the Ipod dock, and to have music in two rooms 2 * Play 3. If none of these 3 devices are going to be wired into your network you will also need a bridge.

Any particualr reason you want to use the ipod as a source, do you have your itunes library on a PC? if so you can use this as the source and save £100 by not needing ipod dock.

Alternatively could you not get a NAS drive for same price as a Ipod dock?

Do you find time to exercise and ride? I’ve started to get faster and now racing and not doing too badly. I’m guess this will be on hold for some time? any advice?

We had offspring No 1 in March. I was about 12 weeks into a 30 week Triathlon training plan. The adjustment has been hard but by getting up extra early (you will be awake anyway), lengthening commute home and the occasional lunchtime session I am currently fitting in 14 hours a week.

Takes a bit of commitment and time management but is doable.

Depending on how much sleep you need nipping out when the missus goes to bed is another low impact time.

Grosse Point Blank

I find using fins tends to give me cramp if I use them for too long.

Circle One Bamboo

Is that the same Circle One that have been making surfboards nr Exeter since the 70s – Owned by a bloke called Townsely?

Sky Go works a treat. Need to have Sky sports subscription though

Article in CTC magazine this month about the olympic “legacy”. The article was quite upbeat saying bmx track nope, mtb track nope, beastway* replacement nope, but look a nice shiny velodrome and some potential plans for the other stuff (which may or may not happen).

I guess that went to press before the ‘beastway‘ replacement was announced

So from your example above if you set cell to Y
Column 3 in rows 1, 5,6, 7 would be true and the rest false?

I’ve been having one on one lessons in an Endless Pool[/url] .

Only had a couple of lessons so far but have imrpoved my swim times lots – Mind, I was a pretty useless swimmer to start with, I could swim 2 miles of FC but very badly/slowly.

If you weant a watch get a Garmin 910XT, will automatically count lengths for you as well as give you lots of other info such as stroke coutn and efficiency scores. Also has multisport mode so you can time your self over each triathlon discipline. Not cheap mind.
