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

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.

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:

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

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

Add a VI Heirachy Button to Filter out Reuse Components.

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?

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.

My glass is half full Ben

Woohoo! We finally got some snow!!!

Righto.

The NI Self-Paced RT Course is excellent.

No friending required - just make cheques out to "Christopher G. Relf"... I *know*! That vid's gone viral - it even made it through the Chinese firewall...

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 ) 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 !

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?

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

crelf is always in a good mood! BBQs where you grill while standing in the pool - there's a Christmas for ya! I saw MikaelH actually tweet a photo him doing exactly that this summer/winter:

Move north - we *still* don't have any snow, although we're forecast 7" on Tuesday. I was downtown Detroit on the weekend and there's no snow on the ground at all My philosphy is that if it's cold, there should be snow. Cold without snow is just annoying... Sounds right to me... I remember being awfully confused as a kid watching movies made in the US that had birds flying south for the winter
