Actually, quick thought.  As its Easter Monday, should check that the pub will actually be open on that day.

Likely to be Sunday opening at least...

Dan

Great.

5:30 - 6pm is my most likely arrival from the Camden wilds...

See you there.

Dan

Someone should email Dubdley seeing as he is off the board for Lent...

Dan

Wouldn't say no... ;)

Expo 2005 is in Japan.

Someone's having fun :)

Apart from me I mean.

Great work Art, so when do we get the Big Robot story from you then?

Dan

Glad to see you'd got it, only had a few chances to drop in today, as I've been in Edinburg rather than the normal office.

Just for anyone who might remember this thread and want answers to your questions

AAC are different to MP3.  Apple claim better encoding results (they would do, they own the patent or whatever).  However it has the advantage of being an open standard.  More importantly tracks bought from the iTunes music store are encoded iin protected AAC format.

Itunes defaults to ripping CDs to unprotected AAC files.  However this can be changed to MP3 in the preferences.  The "Convert to..." menu gives whatever is set as default.

If they aren't DRM encoded WMA files then iTunes will do it.  Make sure your preferences are set to rip to mp3 at your desired bit rate.

Add the wma files to your library (I think).

Select them all and choose "Convert to MP3" from one of the menus.

It they a protected WMA files, you are stuffed

Nope, the phrase you are groping for is "With Nostalgia"

> But Dan, don't be shy, if there's another pub you wish to take Bolt to, you only have to ask.

Unfortunately my knowledge of the Bristolian Beverage Bordellos is sorely lacking, although Alina and I did find a nice restaurant in a tent last year, and there's a nice bar in the Art Centre by the docks...

I shal therefore by riding on the coat-tails of the more seasoned campaigners wrt where to go.

I was going to make a comment about the state of you wrist muscles, in respect to all that drawing, and the ability to lift a pint glass.

Then I remembered where I was posting and the direction the replies were likely to take, so didn't.

Ah.  Ooops.  ;)

Dan

Excuse me, but how many pubs is Bolt involved in in Bristol this year?

Are all of these Bristol bound?

FQ4
Dogbreath
Solar Wind
End Is Nigh
Lost Property
Tales of the Contrary

If so, is this a record??

Dan

I too have a Strontium Dog beanie.  However I favour my PWEI beanie.

As a climber it is bad form to boulder minus beanie.
