Just a note to start a new topic, to say that here is a space for any comments about the Sail Training Weekend in three week's time.

Also, for anyone who has been to a previous one to comment, including what might be improved.

Hmm, number of posts per day seems to be dropping rapidly - does everyone have exams coming up?

That's almost three days since the last post to any topic on the forum.

I'd e-mailed everybody coming on the Training Weekend to suggest they visit the Forum, and put any comments they'd like - but no takers.

Maybe it also means that as no-one has suggested any improvements, the Training Weekend is absolutely perfect as it is! Smile

(Mark will probably be along at three in the morning to reply to that . . .) Wink

Greg - if I'm honest that bit's scaring me! Razz

On a completely unrelated (apart from it's to do with the cruise) note, I hear rumour that I may no longer be a floating mate. Do you have information which may confirm or deny said rumour? Razz

I have no idea whether or not you're still a floater.

As for scaring you, which bit scares you? The evil grin, the prospect of more work in the future or the LaTeX?

I think mostly the prospect of more work in the future; possibly also the hours I'll no doubt spend learning LaTeX while miserably failing to get any work done (I spent several hours conditional-formatting lab results which turn out not to be needed at all!

First years tend to think they're working hard, but the problem is that they haven't yet learned which bits you need to work hard at, and which bits you can let go. That was my problem, anyway.

As for latex, it takes you a couple of days to get used to it but after that it's easy. If you can do html, you can do latex no problem. It also saves you stress later on when it's time to hand in your final report, and the people who used Word find that their reports won't format right on the uni computers! And yes, that was another true story.

Oh dear, this thread's going downhill. Quick, talk about sailing!

Hmm, so it is worth giving it a shot for short projects and stuff now so i familiarise a bit more with it?

Anyway, I really wish I was sailing now - I can't wait for the cruise! Very Happy

although it is now only a month away Smile
