Today [9]

[CB]

Today, my wife told me that one of her co-workers fell off his ATV and broke a couple bones. The reason he fell off it? He was texting someone while driving it.....:huh:
Seriously, what is wrong with people?

It's a dangerous stuff to do, not only to them but also to other. Funny thing was, it happened to me. I saw I biker texting in front of my car, suddenly his bike swung to the middle of the road and I instinctively hit my brake, and then other car hit the back of my old Mazda.
See this!

Today I enjoyed spending a couple of hours with my nephew. (16 mths old)

It's a nice feeling knowing and noticing the subtle changes that as the older they get get, the closer the bond becomes and what a precious thing it is to have them instinctively place an unspoken implicit trust in you.

It's also good to be able to hand them back to 'mum' when the sticky fingers start heading towards your PC/tech equipment

Been spending quite a lot of time trying to induce my German Gold Rams (thats a species of fish to you ignorant lot ) to breed....at $39 a fish I want some return on my investment. I don't quite seem to have the right setup....I think the Lace Gourami's may be too threatening, so I'll move them to the other tank this weekend.

One male and one female might also be helpful.

I have a friend who used to work in an Aquatics Centre. These fish were particularly difficult to breed but I do remember him saying that they used to reduce the water level in the tank by at least 4 inches and leave it like that for 5 days. Then on day six he would fill the tank back up but with cold water. Something to do with tricking the fish into thinking there had been a drought and now there was heavy rainfall? :huh:

Anyway, within 3 hours the fish were spawning.

 

[Golden]

Yes, that s a well known trick in many species.....and exactly right : the colder water, especially if its dribbled in to mimic rainfall induces breeding : I've used that technique with Giant Danios before. I didn't think Rams reacted to that, but I might just try that.....cheers for the reminder.

 

[TypeR]

Good luck!

 

[Golden]

I'll report back in a week....hopfully nothing else has bred because of this....hehehe

Try this....

and you then get this, according to the commercials...

(Personally, I don't get the deal with the separate bathtubs...both in one big hot tub would seem more logical to me)

Yup, I reckon.

Hahahaha! Clowns!

Randy,
Dont forget that ....

 

[Golden]

Thats the last time I share my aquatic experiences....I mean my fish experiences....with you lot

Hahahaha! Clowns!

Clown fish are a different story.

A circus tent over the aquarium for ambience.

 

[Bongo]

Just trying to be helpful Golden

 

[Hopalong X]

Yeah just trying to help.

Set the monitor next to the aquarium with an instructional "How to" video for them to watch.
Put the video on a loop until they get it right.

I meant to post this yesterday but forgot. I got a software update show up for my HTC yesterday, I let it go ahead and it installed version 2.14.161.1 onto my phone, it all went very smoothly, it seems a bit quicker now. I now have Android 2.3.5, I'm sure it came with 2.2 Gingerbread.

The many versions of Android can be a bit confusing, Joan. I've just in a last couple months entered the whole Android scene....here's a quick little summary which might help clear things up for you. I'm far from an expert, but I'm learning, hopefully.

Technically, 2.2 is Froyo...(short for "frozen yogurt") and the 2.3 variants are Gingerbread.

2.3.5 is what came on my Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 (not a phone, but a wifi personal media player....basically a smartphone without the cellular radio inside of it), and I've since rooted it and flashed another version onto it, so it now has 2.3.6. (Rooting is kind of like running as administrator, or jailbreaking an Apple device.)

Google loves their desserts, as you may have noticed. The earliest one I have heard of was called Donut. Then you've now heard of Froyo and Gingerbread, and now, some tablets like my Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus have 3.0, 3.1, or 3.2 which is Honeycomb. This year many newer devices will be getting an upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich, which is 4.0.

Supposedly Gingerbread and previous versions were meant for phone-sized devices, and then Honeycomb was the tablet size Android, and now I think Ice Cream Sandwich is supposed to work on every size, assuming the internal hardware is powerful enough.

I had just really gotten used to my Galaxy Player and its Gingerbread when I bought my tablet with Honeycomb, and now I am learning how to use that.....some definite changes are there. With my luck, I'll just get it all figured out and my Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade will come though and I'll have to start over.....
