The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!

Posted on 12/17/2002 7:32:02 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Journey to the Cross-roads

The Two Towers Edition

Come on! Come in! -if you would like to have some seedcakes and a pint and relax a while. (If it is a special occasion, we still have a few bottles of the old wineyards left!)

Our first thread ( New Zealander builds Hobbit hole ) reached 4,100 posts, and we thought that was big. Our second thread (The New Hobbit Hole ) held us for over 48,000 posts, and we loved it dearly. We talked about moving to a new thread for the last 38,000 posts, but we are really slow to muster! Finally, the time has come. Tomorrow (at 12:01 am, to be precise!) The Two Towers comes out, and we start a new chapter.

Fantastic...

Don't let the B's sting... you still got a 3.71 gpa and that's pretty darn good. Dean's List!

I am terrible at math also. However my best buddy is fabulous at it, can do large math problems in his head faster than I can work them on a calculator. He also has something fairly close to a photographic memory, so I think the 2 things could be related.

Must be... the prof said that the class was in (what I affectionally call) remedial math because chances are we didn't learn how to do math, we only learned how to mimic the "pattern of math." So, when it came time to do tests, and without an example, we were lost.

That rang true with me. This time, I am taking the time to learn how to do it...

Hopefully, it will pay off. I got an A on my first quiz. First A in math I have gotten in a long time.

Does it give you the option to save a picture into different formats. A jpeg into a tif or a gif into bitmap. That might be the easiest way.

I think it does give that option for saving, I will try that.

I was good at geometry, though, Carton, even though I've forgotten everything about it now, except the formula for inverse proportion, a/b=c/d, which solves any problem I can get my brain around.

Whatever graphic program you use ought to have a "Save As..." option that includes .bmp.

Before you go, are you going to stay in the castle for Entmoot?

I love your tagline! I think I am going to use that on all my liberal "friends" the next time we "discuss the issues"....;^)

Don't be afraid of losing the 4.0. Just keep giving your best shot and leave the results up to God... [/unwanted sermon, (sorry)]

Ah...the rub is my competitive family. My older brother graduated with a 3.98, my younger brother is going strong... not a 4.0, but pretty high. They argue all the time over who's the smartest. Wouldn't it be something if it were me!!!!!

I don't know if I can commit to Entmoot. What date has been agreed on?

Vim! You've come back to us at the turning of the tide. Speaking of the tide, check out the castle we're renting for Entmoot (who has that link again?)

As far as the moonshadow goes...it could be worse...
