YeW Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Hi Guys and Gals -I've removed all the preinstalled avatars that come with this forum. The reason for this is simple. Avatar use = more bandwidth. More bandwidth costs us money. I'd rather spend this cash and offer you a choice of a few skins (which will be my project once all the bugs are ironed out.However, you are most welcome to use avatars you have hosted on your own server space (provided by some ISP's) or on some free webspace on the net.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willy Wombat Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Thanks Yew - and thanks lurker - will email you to host an image for me. I would hate to be a bandwidth bandit!!! WW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 You should have ftp space with your internet provider thats where mine are. Then you just link to them then you are not pinching anything. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Wombat Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 I am "stealing" internet access from work Nigel - Im sure they would start asking all kinds of questions were i to request some space/bandwidth to host images... Spoke to a bloke last night about getting broadband on the home computer - if i do i will get some webspace with that so then it will be on for young and old (Picture time as soon as I get some more fishes )PS : I dont feel bad about stealing internet from work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YeW Posted December 2, 2003 Author Share Posted December 2, 2003 Nice DNA helix - what's the significance WW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Wombat Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 I guess its significant because of my science background Dr Dave - the image looks much better when animated. (Genetics was actually my worst subject at uni) Go to this link to see what it looks like when animated. I am strangely mesmerised by the way the curves spiral round into the helix. I was very close to going with the old fatso wombat image Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeW Posted December 2, 2003 Author Share Posted December 2, 2003 Hi WW -For my PhD I spent quite a lot of time extracting DNA, cutting it into bits and amplifying other bits . The spiral is indeed mesmerising :D! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Wombat Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Ha - its working now - groovyDave - I did a little bit of DNA work when i was doing studies into fish immunology , but mostly it was molecular biochemistry (SDS PAGE, Western Blotting, etc). Its amazing what they are doing with DNA these days. We have certainly come a long way since 1953, when Francis Crick and James Watson walked into the Eagle pub in Cambridge, England, and announced that "they had found the secret of life."Unfortunately the ethical nightmare that it has sparked it a whole different kettle of fish.
