I was thinking that if the weather cooperates and you remain interested (and are in reasonable physical shape etc..), we could stop in for a day or two near New Paltz NY after the meet. In climbing circles, the area around New Paltz is known as "the Gunks", a world-class destination climbing center. My current BBS pic was taken there last fall.

You'd need a sleeping bag (cheap tenting there), sleeping pad if you have one (I have spares), track pants or similar, and a warm sweater that can get dirty if need be. Oh yeah, and the bravery to tell me your street shoe size..

I've been trying to get one or two of the other (rock climber) Empeg meet attendee's interested in this, but no takers thus far.

If I were creating an HTML page with FORM tags to submit these parameters, how do I get the "NODATA" thing working?

When I try (input type=hidden value="" name="NODATA"), an equals sign appears after NODATA, causing an error.

Time to take it off the board

Tell your FORM to use the GET method (rather than POST).

I'm not sure how to get your web-generator to just put NODATA instead of NODATA= though. I'm very retro.. I do all of my web stuff with vi.

-ml

What happens when you just include the "?NODATA" as part of the form URL? (probably get another '?' character, right?).

If it still buggers up, I'll have khttpd tolerate the '=' after 'NODATA' -- v237 (later).

Cheers

Method is already get. I assumed I'd get a second question mark if I added the ?nodata to the base URL but didn't actually try it...

mark,

just upgraded from v225 to v235 and my screen is now dimmer on A/C. (noticably)

am i missing something?

v234 release notes stated that Hijack settings need to be reset. This is because Mark hijacked more flash memory for saving settings (A Good Thing), but in the process the memory map changed, so your previous settings are garbled.

You would have seen a "Hijack Settings Lost" message on the screen at first boot.

Just go through and reapply the settings and you'll be all set.

Sounds like fun, but I am just wondering how hard it would be to go having no real climbing experience, just wall climbing and climbing short distances on smaller rocks.

Definitly let me know if you ever plan on going somewhere near Colorado Springs, as Garden of the Gods has always called to me since I wall climbed quite a bit a few years back.

No problem for anyone who has ever scrambled up an indoor/outdoor climbing wall. But we do need at least one other experienced outdoor climber if the number of newbies is greater than one.

Cheers

Hmm, I might have to extend my vacation in late May to try this then, I thought I remember you saing you were coming to the CA meet right?

I'm sure out of a possible hundred attendees, we can drum up more interest.

Drakino, you have more experience than I and I'm going to give it a try. I used to climb trees when I was growing up, bout the only thing I have climbed since then has been stairs.

Maybe I will see if there is a inside wall around here for me to try so I can get a feel of what to expect. Even if I chicken out at the last moment I can sit and watch you guys climb and make fun of you

When is this proposed meet? And what difficlutly are the climbs? I haven't been in a while, but I still know how to operate most of the gear. I've never done lead, but I'm assuming since novices would be present, this would be strictly top-rope.

Bruno

The meet will be in the boston area first or second Saturday in May.
I've been doing some planning/organizing on it, seems like the interest level is rising, the thread on it is here

mlord are you definately bringing that soldering iron of yours to the meet? If so, I'm buying buttons immediately. I've been hesitant since I've never even held a soldering iron in my hands before.

Like dcosta said, this meet would be in the Boston area (TBD), most likely May-11. I'm going from there to New Paltz afterwards, where I'll tent out and climb for a few days. Laura may be joining me/us there.

If anyone else wants to try it, they're welcome to come along. But for this to work (with more than one newbie), I'll need another climber to supervise the belaying (I'll provide intro/refresher as needed).

Climbs there range from insanely easy to insanely difficult, but most everything is lead/follow (even the 5.0's). There are some TR routes, but multipitch is really the game. I have no problem taking a couple of newbies up a multipitch 5.0, so long as another climber is on the tail end supervising the belays.

If you (Bruno) can make it, that'd be excellent!

Should be fun (weather co-operating..)

Cheers

This discussion is for the Boston meet.. I hadn't noticed any replies (yet) to my query about the West Coast meet.

Cheers

Laura, is that the Launcher (et vous?)?

>mlord are you definately bringing that soldering iron of yours to the meet?

I'm still thinking about it. Do ya reckon we'd have a place to plug it in for a couple of hours?

-ml

Yah, that's it, my 73 NovaSS. That picture was taken my first time at the track for test and tune day. It's to small to make out the number written in the window but it was "69". I'm going to try cutting that picture down so it will show up a little better.

Does the solder iron by chance have a cigarette lighter adapter?

No, no lighter adaptor. Unless someone has a 12VDC-120VAC inverter? (I don't really want to pack my UPS as well!)

But perhaps dcosta will find us plug in Boiston, then I could do his and yours between drinks.

Cheers

As long as you do mine after the first drink. After 5 or 6 you might be so steady as to solder those tiny itty bitty peices. I'll have to order a kit soon.

Tony...HTML forms do not allow what you are trying. Write a note to the W3C...mayber there is an Empeg owner there that could push that through for you...lol

Well, give it a try Tony, and if indeed it doesn't work, I'll grind out a new version for ya.

Cheers

Oh...would you two get a room already...lol

edit: Mark and Laura that is....
;oP

Back to the topic of programming. How about that hijack thing

May... Damn. That's tight. I do love Boston though. I'll have to see how things are moving on the moving front.

I haven't been climbing in a long while. Still remember how to belay (with a few pieces of gear - most often used a grigri though). However, have never done lead or multi-pitch. I gradually stopped climbing before a couple of my friends started on to the lead stuff. I'd be really embarassed if I got out there and couldn't complete a 5-9.

Hmm... Wonder if my shoes still fit. I can ask a buddy of mine if he'd be interested in the trip. He doesn't have an empeg, but he's got plenty of climbing gear and experience.

Might also want to try using a "Button" input type instead of submit and using the JavaScript void(0) method that CharcoalGray99 is using to send requests to the player without refreshing the page. You would basically build up the request string on your own through a js function, and request it.

I bet if you look at cg99's js include file, you'll see an example of this.

Yeah, I know how to do that, I was just hoping to avoid using "Satan's Own Language" for this simple test-my-voladj-settings page.

I believe the Javascript void(0) is a thing of the past at this point, replaced by NODATA in most/all places.

Sheeesh! And I wonder what Jane will think when she reads this thread and sees that insinuation!
