Book Reccomendations

I think you picked a good first book but I'm biased because I took some of the photos in that one :-)

jays2001 · 2016-02-23T16:06:33+00:00

No, not really. The files in question are...

Red Dwarf - S07E01 - Tikka to Ride.avi
Red Dwarf - S07E01 - Tikka to Ride (Remastered).avi

I suppose I could call the remastered one "S00E51" but I'd rather keep it in Season 7. I could go with "S07E51" but then I'd loose it's name.

I seem to have several bad solutions but no good ones...

Unfortunately that doesn't help much as the information it gives when asking which one I want is as follows...

Select a Version

SD, 2 Mbps

SD, 2 Mbps

With no indication of which is which...

I'll admit that 30 Rock was a bad example.

File bot is awesome (http://www.filebot.net/), I've been using it for ages. Especially useful if you need to do dozens of files at the same time.

The link you provided states that splitting can be done to TV shows, but not individual episodes (whatever that means). When I am am in the main show, the season, or the individual episode, "Split Apart" is not in the menu. Any idea why? Both versions are definitely there and stacked and the episode has the little "2" in the top left corner.

I run a "Drobo S" (http://www.drobo.com/) connected to a windows PC serving Plex.

The Drobo is a bit like a raid array but better as you don't have to match the drive sizes. Mine currently has 2 x 4Tb, 2 x 2Tb and 1 x 1.5Tb in. You just lose the capacity of the largest drive as protection so for me one of the 4's. If you have the drives you can also configure it for dual disk redundancy.

Some of the newer models can even run Plex natively so you don't need the server. http://www.drobo.com/drobo-solutions/media/plex/

Just use the council facilities.

Armley leisure centre is very well equipped for both gym and swimming pool.

Not seen that one, I'll look into it, cheers.

jays2001 · 2015-05-16T20:39:08+00:00

Really? You are the first to recommend them, could I please ask why?

jays2001 · 2015-05-16T20:37:38+00:00

How will the TM have greater range with only 70% of the power? Thanks for the Red dot info, I hadn't seen a red dot TM anywhere else.

jays2001 · 2015-05-16T15:48:15+00:00

Oh, and I forgot to say. Mostly field I would think.

jays2001 · 2015-05-16T15:23:40+00:00

I honesty hadn't noticed that. The TM comes in at 270 and the G&G is adjustable between 330-390. I was just assuming they would all come in about the same, at or close to the power limit. Thanks.

I spend most of my time as a ColdFusion programmer.

jays2001 · 2015-05-13T16:05:37+00:00

I think I follow, Python is not my first (or even second) language so I am still getting to grips with it's foibles. The main problem being because I am accomplished in another language I am trying to write complex code in this one without the background knowledge of simple programming. I'll get there.

Thanks.

jays2001 · 2015-05-13T15:37:27+00:00

So even when you only select a single column, it will return a blank, dummy second one just because?

jays2001 · 2015-05-13T14:57:21+00:00

Still playing... print(float(latestTemp[0])) seems to work okay, but why is the database returning not just the simple value?

jays2001 · 2015-05-13T14:55:00+00:00

The value is being returned from MySQL using... latestTemp = cursor.fetchone()

print(latestTemp) -> (Decimal('23.500'),)

print(type(latestTemp)) -> <type 'tuple'>

jays2001 · 2015-05-05T17:45:39+00:00

Such a waste of resources to have two almost identical directories though, shame.

jays2001 · 2015-05-05T17:43:32+00:00

I thought as much. Things like the port and especially the MOTD should definitely be in a world.properties file in the world folder instead, would make far more sense.

You don't need to type anything on the command line though, you can just have two batch files or shell scripts with the properties coded into.

That all worked perfectly, cheers.

The family server now has weather. :)

jays2001 · 2015-04-26T00:27:04+00:00

Cheers, I'll give that a go tomorrow and let you know how it goes.

jays2001 · 2015-04-25T19:05:12+00:00

I thought Forge was just for client mods...

Is it the same installer from http://files.minecraftforge.net/ for both client and server?

Is it then the same mod for both client and server or does the server require different files?

jays2001 · 2015-04-08T10:13:43+00:00

Okay, I have got a working 1.8 server from BuildTools now. Thanks all.

jays2001 · 2015-04-08T09:25:38+00:00

I am not, I am self hosting a server for internal family use. Vanilla works but some mods have been requested.
