# is that some kind of subtle message
that you're in need of a shag?
or is it a cormorant?
is that heal tool work? I need to update to PS7 so I can see what that does...

C'est la question qu'on a posée, en 1992, à Normand Ballard, spécialiste en automation industrielle et en robotique. Après une année de réflexion et grâce aux efforts conjugués de Sylvain Ballard, analyste-programmeur, une solution a vu le jour

# explain what?
it's Cal's profile, he's the guy who made the board, therefore he can set that to whatever he likes with nobody to tell him otherwise

you worry too much

# ok
the timestamp of the account is 0, which is 0 seconds after 00:00 1st Jan 1970 (which is the unix epoch).
(NB: that's GMT, so that's why it's 20 hours, even though you posted as 21:38, because that's BST)

# what's an epoch?
microsoft's systemtime begins at 14th september 1756 or something, I like that.

is the beginning of an age or something isn't it?

# I guess
an epoch is a defined period of time. whenever you want that to be.

the unix epoch started then, and will run out when too many seconds have gone by for current computer numbers to cope with (some time in June 2038 for 32-bit machines, but hopefully we'll all be using bigger machines by then).

# hey ho
how's you? did you put my mini on your mini colour site?

I've finally come to the conclusion that as and when I refurbish it, it'll have to stay this colour - it's just too unusual to allow it to disappear from the local roads! however, this will require sourcing a replacement cream-coloured vinyl roof... any ideas?

# ello.
fine thanks.

yup your mini is:

here (including click-for-big)

I believe the original roof should be tan, rather than cream. You'll probably not find the stripes for the sides. You might try "Newton Commercial", they specialise in authentic old trim and stuff.

There's a guy in our mini club restoring a rose 1100 special, I'll ask him if I remember.

[edit: I should note I was offered another pic for that colour this week. I turned it down, of course :o)]
(I helped save b3ta! stup0t, Fri 12 Sep 2003, 21:49, archived)
# the stripes
are sold by loads of places from what I've seen... they're just regular graphics.

I do think it's more creamy than tan though, on the roof (edit: it's similar in shade to the caps on vanilla coke bottles...) - although right now it's white household emulsion, thanks to a former bodger. ah well, the interior's not stock and won't be returning to it, so maybe the roof will change too - I wanna stick a webasto in there anyhow.

yay for keeping a b3ta pic, even if it's got witchy's name linked to my car ;)

Ah yes... I spotted that the white wasn't right, but didn't realise it was paint.

I didn't know whether to link the car owner or photo taker... difficult one. I'll add your name too, if you like... what credit would you like?

I forgot that graphics are dead easy to produce nowadays. It used to be a problem!
(I helped save b3ta! stup0t, Fri 12 Sep 2003, 21:58, archived)

I don't mind not having a credit - as and when it gets fixered up maybe I'll get you a better shot, then I can claim my day in the spotlight!

# crumbs
mini prices are rocketting atm, 300 quid is a joke! I've seen rust buckets with no redeeming features for 500. Didn't buy them, obviously, but they held out when I offered 200, so someone's paying.
