...is actually in the Sub-Sub Basement, FYI.
Also, according to my English teacher, an "eyelash" is about 83 seconds, although it's a measurement of time she invented and isn't widely used.

My Study in Sub-Sub Basement

Nephew Who comes in via a backdoor of his own basement
"Are we alone?" looking over his shoulder "You know we just registered as Susan Winkle, I guess that is just too much. We will keep with just ten of us, for now."
Susan Winkle aka Nephew Who is extending parts of the table to reach the 'power station'?? that is not in place at all. "Hey, Nephew, you have made a mess of this portal, did you not notice that yourself?"
Nephew Who sighs as he discovers Susan playing with his tables
"You know, I was planning to alter this page anyway, care to join me? I have a perfect map somewhere here."
perfect?
Deus ex Machina {trying to keep in shapes} Posted Jul 5, 2003
Perfect? More like abstract... if you look at it from a point of view it's sort of like a train wreck... oh well, time was never perfect anyway, never will be... crazy, etc.

<> still steam coming out of his hairs
"Hmm, I hoped you would liked the _machine_ as it is one of the oldest internal powered machines by humans."
Susan Winkle aka <> wiping some charcoal of her trousers
"While I would represent a way of transportation as well as a map"
Nephew Who tapping on his CTRL key
"A bit rusty and Who will have to fix it I guess. If you do not like the map you probably can use the ticker just below"
All fly off in a steam cloud just appearing behind the time table

Seems a perfectly reasonable place for this...
Planck Time is another measurement, being the time it takes for a photon to go one "Planck Space" which is something like the smallest imaginable distance.
ITs approximately 10^-43
5.391E-44 also possible, one of these, more likely the second...

Nephew Who recalculating the chronon
"The chronon should be the time light takes to travel the smallest distance possible. Jet from different sides approached we cannot figure out the exact value.
Anyone some more digits on his calculator, or more expert in quantum calculations?"

"And we replyed nearly a copy... Indeed we checked Google too however somewhere in those hits, the calculations are given, more or less a secondary search.
However we can =_always_= imagine a smaller distance, the smallest object we could find was the... electron(?). Who could you search some archives of Planck?"
Nephew Who starts tapping on his console
"In a minute.. "

gluons are little
Wonko did you know that that time page that this is a forum for links to your "grammar of time travel" page? somewhere on the on the thing at the top... this is the right page, no sure...
still am very baffled by how do you use it correctly? I can't understand it...

I haven't read any page you may have for a map tag... must go read it as soon as I have time...

"Must be a naming thing. Some days ago you wrote you had read all my entries. Now you wrote You have not read any entry I have made. Mind if I call you 'AK unconsistent'?"
Susan Winkle aka Traveller in Time unfolds (was wrapped up as 42)
"Traveller, you should not say that to a friend! Sorry AK, he is a bit freakish. It will have to do with our dyslextious mind."

AK - fancy that! Posted Oct 24, 2003
I've looked at it, I jsut didn't understand it at the time. IT seemed very complicated... I shall have to study it a bit when I need it, but once I saw all the numbers for the coordinates I though " scary" or such... so I've looked at it but not completely read it...

"You have to read it, to get an idea what you can do with it.
Take 'What is the problem with ERV1' as test object.
Use local copy (call it 'master.html') and local browser
(howto GuideML)..
Also copy the image!
Make another copy, call it test.html.
Try moving an area == one line in my entries.
Try out all functions of mapping as true researcher.
It does not function once in a while, repair by fresh copy of master.html.
Select image from Guide.
Create GuideML entry mymap.html, containing the structure of a mapped image. Comment out all of area lines but one. Use this to select whole of image as active area. (do ChangeStyle button to test)
Place it on entry resized as required. (I mostly enlarge *2)
Clipboard copy from browser.
Use image editor program measuring x,y-coordinates.
Create workmaster by making a cutout along the lines of the original GuideBlob.
Use just pointer, no brush, pen or anything that creates dirt on the image! Imagine an area you want to use, three points can be an area.
Enter points in pairs into prepared GuideML ... Party?"

AK - fancy that! Posted Oct 25, 2003
Is the list of points the corners of the figure....
So you copy it onto a picture editing program and see the individual pixels, that could help, with coordinates and all...
Do you have to nest all of the coordinates, I knwo I can look at your page and see but i have no time now
you can't use html on h2g2, I do not understand that part well...
ERV1 is English Rose V1 I take it,
Note to self: MUST try Tomorrow
