It may be that the option 'automatically update all my songs and playlists' is not selected, and if it isn't, then select it, and close the preferences. You m...

Ok sorry for the false warning last night the auroral activity suddenly dropped But there might be more tonight, keep an eye on that first plot I sent with the histogram...

Watch out, there might be an aurora coming along in the next hour

We might have a slight problem weather-wise though. Cloud cover looks really bad. Here's another dynamic image showing the latest sateliite image

Another useful plot:

If any of you want to see the Northern Lights, there is a slight chance they may come back tonight or tomorrow, so keep an eye on the sky, especially looking north. If activity on this plot is in the orange or red and it's dark, look outside. The image in the thread should update if you refresh the ...

What is the best time to go out and catch such good photos?


When the Aurora is visible to the eye, it's visible to a camera. So anytime there is an aurora you can take photos.

My guess would be probably not. But it's always worth checking out these links: LINK:www.spaceweather.com LINK:www.sec.noaa....

Were you wearing a long black jacket?


Nope, there were other people there, and I seem to remember someone with a long back jacket actually, but that's not me.

Shall go down to east sands and have a look - there is a spectacular picture taken from the pier here by Thomas Robitaille, an undergraduate here (or at least was): http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_8...

Was a really nice display tonight. Not as long as last Sunday's but still came all the way overhead. I took a few photos on Sunday and today, and will be putting them on my website soon (alongside last year's photos), probably next week. In the mean time, here are a few. Enjoy :) Sunday: IMAGE:www.s...

I bought an ipod in the US this summer and it works great. Also, the battery is not so much an issue now, the new ipods have less problems. Mine lasts for well over 10H. To compare prices go on apple.com and apple.com/uk, and compare. You can buy it from the Apple Store Education and that will knock...

I'm confused, at what time is the Soc Fayre on Sunday. I saw on the union site somewhere that it was 12-6. Is this right?? Or is it 9-5 as I seem to remember it was last year??

I heard there might be wi-fi hotspots in some pubs too (raisin? central?). Do you have to pay to access these?

Hi,

Just wondering whether anyone knows if there is wireless internet available in any of the libraries, especially physics, and if so have any of you tried it, and do you have to pay a fee to be able to use it?

Thanks in advance

I've got a video of the WTC collapsing, speeded up, with Benny Hill music playing in the background. What kind of sicko would make such a thing >:-{{{
