It seems that Ben is at it again. This time Mustard and Coke get thrown in the mix.

When I saw this video the first thing I said to myself was: "This is one for the LAVA lounge".

Time to pimp the marketing girl

While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles. Now while doing this draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction and there's nothing you can do about it.

After a few hours he emerges with "hey look at what I built!". The instructions are perfect and detailed. The code is right there so you just click on the link, it opens in NXT G and you just run it, done! PS. people actually read my blog? Thanks!

QUOTE(crelf @ Jan 8 2008, 06:25 AM) The RSS Feed for the downloads is here. QUOTE(pallen @ Jan 8 2008, 08:55 AM) Yeah, I just noticed my RSS feed in Thunderbird is dead too. I just fixed this, check again, thanks.

QUOTE(tcplomp @ Jan 3 2008, 10:45 PM) I changed them now both to: Submit. They are now both the same. Too complicated to explain why they were both different.

This now implemented. Text on the buttons is not dynamic (edit vs. post) but it works. Please keep an eye out for bugs and report them here please. Edit:Ok, it seems like I missed something. The buttons only show when editing the first post in the thread. Oh well, back to the drawing board. Edit:Ok, I think I got it now.

Hmmm...

LAVA already has forums for stuff like this. Anyone (as always) is welcome to post there. http://forums.lavag.org/Announcements-f25.html Products, or Other announcements will do. As far as expiration, a quick PM to me or You (since you now have the power) can close these topic off or even delete them.

it's interesting that there's approx. 350 topic views but only 12 votes. Now I realize not every view is unique but sometimes you gotta wonder...

I've moved this suggestion to it's own thread because I think it's a good idea and I want to keep track of it. I think it's possible to move the reply button further up on the page with very little effort.

QUOTE(tcplomp @ Dec 18 2007, 09:22 PM) There's one reply button at the very bottom of the post and one at the very top. There are also "" quote replies at the end of each message.

I know some of you have NXT kits AND cats... C'mon, you know you wanna.

Well, I don't want to say that I thought of it first... well, I did. Anyway, that's just because I'm Greek and of course the Greeks invented everything. In any case, tagging was released on the NI Forums recently: I was thinking of installing a tagging system on LAVA, before NI decided to release it on their forums, but decided not to because I don't find it useful myself. Perhaps I'm wrong and you all really want it. Well, do you?

There was an issue today with the LAVA RSS. There were bad characters in the feed causing it not to render in RSS readers. This is due to someone's display name using illegal characters. The user name was changed and this should eventually resolve itself as the feed refreshes. I tried re-caching the feed (since some of you will respond asking me to do that) but it didn't work. We just have to wait.

That's great, now stop spamming LAVA.

alfa, I am disappointed in you. I thought we had something special here. Don't you know that the NI forums are the dark side? They are evil. They track your IP address and have direct connection with those that want to silence you. Be warned, if you keep posting on the NI forums you will be in big trouble from the authorities. We want your voice to be heard so please don't do anything to jeopardize the message. Stop posting on the NI forums.

We already have a page here for getting started. Instead of linking to all those resources every time, just build up this start page and link to that. We should track which questions are repeating and create articles on this in the Wiki. Hey, Christmas is coming up and some of you will have some extra time on your hands...

QUOTE(tcplomp @ Dec 11 2007, 11:16 PM) This is an official notice form NI. I don't know how NI decides who to send these notices to, but I am subscribed to several NI newsletters and things so I'm not sure which one was used. http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/AEE74EFEF7D6CA4E862573A90000A628?OpenDocument' target="_blank">Here is the official page if you're in doubt.

QUOTE(Gabi1 @ Dec 11 2007, 03:33 PM) Great idea, go for it!

Also, if for some reason you want to pass on your nomination in private, you can send a PM to me or crelf.

I guess we should make more posts to push it off the homepage then...
