OK, so Ben's current title line is "1 NI Knight = 1/10 LAVA Knight".

I think what Ben was getting at is that he's 1 NI Knight (requires 10000 posts) *and* 1/10 LAVA Knight (with his 1000 posts).

And the last two winters here in MI have been brutal. Cold and lots of snow.

Really? I thought last year was quite mild. Can't trust my memeory though...

This winter has been a little cold and very dry.

Can't argue with that! Although I think that if it's going to be cold (like it has in the last month or so) then we should at least have snow I'm still waiting for a blizzard...

I reviewed all of the config pages I have and looked at the help but could not figure out how to set my title.

G'Day Ben,

Firstly - congrats on the big 1000! Thanks so much for being here

You should be able to see it if you go to "My Profile" ==> "Edit My Profile" ==> then scroll down to "Profile Information" - there should be a text box called "Member Title" - let me know if it's there and you can edit it.

Australian spirit: Sit in the back and wait for everyone to wipe out?

Ummm, I was thinking the glass half full and "never give up", but either of those are good

In the spirit of the Winter Olympics, I wanted to remind everyone of the greatest Australian winter olympian, if not the most beloved. This video shows the true Australian spirit:

...have we tested the profanity filter yet? And if I posted a link that has a bad word in it would the link become broken?

If you really want to know, post in the appropriate forum - don't hijack this thread.

Looks like I found the solution to my problem.

Hey Bob - would you mind adding that info to the LabVIEWiki ?

OP-Amps require Power to work. I think DC-DC converter is your best Bet.

Totally depends on your application. ie: is the output voltage higher than the input voltage? What's the current requirements? etc.

How about a good ol' fashioned opamp?

You too!!

There's a thing here organised by one of my favorite bars (Honest? John's in the Cass Corridor - they have a BLT with 30, count 'em, 30 rashers of bacon) where a load of ppl swim across the Detroit river in Janurary to raise money for turkeys for inner-city families. Lots of fun (they all have an ale or three before the dip), but bloody cold!

Courrier and Courrier New are decent standards (they usually come preinstalled with most OSes) - anything else usually requires the font to be installed along with your app.

If I ever find myself drowning with you Chris on the boat holding the life-preserver, I will have to rember not to yell "Does anyone have a Life-preserver?" but rather "Please throw that life-preserver!"

My glass is half full Ben

Woohoo! We finally got some snow!!!

I heard that... that the Super Bowl set a new record for number of viewers. Seems to me there should be an asterisk next to that record indicating "Weather assisted".

Oh, nevermind. It's only really slow when I'm connected through my work's VPN.

Righto.

Which books and/or on-line tutorials specific to PXI and Real-Time would you kindly recommend...

The NI Self-Paced RT Course is excellent.

Who do I friend on Facebook in order to learn how to properly make a LAVA post that will result in a tweet?

No friending required - just make cheques out to "Christopher G. Relf"...

I want to make #popcorn for Justin!

I *know*! That vid's gone viral - it even made it through the Chinese firewall...

...will it work Ok with my IE6.

Sure - but most people either use a twit client (a small app that runs on your PC and/or phone that updates you on the tweeters that you're "following") or opt to get an email when there's an update. FYI: I use tweetdeck on my PC and PockeTwit on my Windows phone, but there are a multitude of clients out there. (...and, since you mentioned it, I also have my Facebook status update to my personal tweets and my LinkedIn status update to my preofessional tweets, but that's probably a little extreme )

For an old lag like me it is very confusing do I take my LAVA via Twitter or maybe the RSS Feed or maybe the LAVA Facebook or shall I just keep on reading the good old web site itself. Actually I think I will just wait for the DVD to come out

Coming soon to a home theatre near you (it's a blu-ray in 1080p with 7.2 surround sound, so make sure your technology is up to it ).

Seriously though, we tweet the little stuff - we don't tweet every minute of every day (actually, we average maybe once or twice a week), and it's mostly hot topic, retweets and system status messages, so you'll still want to either use an RSS feed (IMHO the best option) or go directly to the wesbite for the full LAVA experience.

Actually, @lavag is most active during NI-Week - it's updated with schedules, good session previews and summaries, lunch meet-ups, and info on where the LAVA crew are getting on 6th Street in the evenings for beer and tequila shots But just because it's most active during NI-Week doesn't mean that there's good stuff going out on the wire throughout the year...

If you're on Twitter (and let's face it, if you're not then maybe you should just shut your Windows 95 machine down and go outside to yell at those pesky kids on your lawn again), then you should follow the official LAVA account: @lavag . All of the Admins and Mods use it to let you know about hot topics, retweets from LAVA members and industry experts alike on LabVIEW topics, as well as site housekeeping information that's time and/or accessibility sensitive (eg: "Forums are experiencing difficulties - we know what the problem is and we're working on it").

So, what are you waiting for? Head on over to www.twitter.com/lavag and follow @lavag !

Has LAVA been really slow the last few days, or is it just me?

What do you mean? The website responds to your requests too slowly? The RSS feeds take a while to populate? The number of posts have dropped off?

Not sure how I feel about having fudgies (urban dictionary, the first definition not the other two ) all year round.

Wow - I think that needed a "NSFW" attached to it
