  1. Allright, I have a problem. I am typing a title of 3 words in an Excel cell. When I hit "enter" after the first word of the title, it enters it as the complete contents of the cell. I would like for "enter" in excel to respond like it does in Word, with popping the cursor down the next line so that I can type the second word in the second line, the third word in the third line. (I do not want to retype every word in individual cells.) What is the function? Thanks! --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!

  12. Allright, that gave me some good ideas indeed. Opening another account I will refer him to my personal assistant. This assistant will then visit him in Ghana and try to obtain a funny photograph with an outrageous name of him waiting at the airport. (as on 419eater.com) What should the name be? (as in Dina Mite and Eric Shun, etc.) --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!
  13. Allright, I'm having a bit of fun with a Nigerian Scammer. I recently received the following email, and opened up another account/false name, and started playing tug with Mr. Nigeria. Now I'm running out of creativity. So, here is the deal: Type a response email to the latest email, and if it is funny/creative/original, I will send it to our friend and await his response. (I believe he is actually Japanese - which scares me a bit that he might have superior hacking abilities! I also removed my fake name from the conversation and substituted initials). Here is the email chain, with his "ID" attached. .................................

As a financial consultant here in Ghana, I had a proposition from Barrister Stephen Mensah who is a personal friend to my father and he is also a family lawyer to former president of Liberia (Mr. Charles Taylor), currently facing charges for war crime and crime against humanity in Holland, due to the present situation, the family lawyer has been mandated to look out for foreign partner that will help to secure his funds in a financial house (to be mentioned to you as you show interest) for safe investment overseas. When the lawyer called on my office yesterday he narrated the matter to me and ask if I can provide a trusted person who can handle the situation as the authorities are after him and his properties and the lawyer told me that they do not want the movement of the funds to Europe or America, at this I thought of you, so I will like to know if you can be able to handle the situation and receive the money over there in your country for investment on a viable project. The lawyer told me that for any person that assisted in moving this funds they will give 25% and the source which is me will receive 5% as ordered by the family and after the funds is safely transferred to your account, the first son of Charles Taylor (Prince Taylor) will join you over there in your country to conclude everything on investment. The total amount amount to be transferred is US$12Million. Please consider this proposal and get back to me positively, but note that this proposal should be treated with confidentiality as to avoid betrayal, you should not discuss it with friends and as you reply, I will get in touch with the lawyer for more details on how to proceed. I look forward to your reply soonest and also need your telephone and fax number while replying. Have a good day as I give you good news and glad tidings and opportunity for us to make something out of our friendship comming together. Cheers, Mr. Clifford Owusu. ........................................................ Dear Mr. Owusu, I am slightly stunned by the fact that you were able to contact me through a "reliable source". Please inform me of the reliability of this source so that I may verify your credibility. (You mention large sums of money without knowing my identity, and I would like to verify that this is not in fact a scam. Please do not be offended by this, it is simply a security screen. I take it that you understand the necessity of establishing a solid relationship of trust before we can proceed with business of this kind.) If you do not recognize the email address, I reply from an alternate, secure email address. I will let you know that I am not unaccustomed to business as you propose it. I have been in tough situations myself and was forced to some extremes to avoid governments/politicians/tax authorities sticking their hands my family's estate when we immigrated. I have learned a significant amount about international transactions through this experience and would gladly proceed in determining how we may proceed. So, in your reply: 1. Inform me of your identity as thoroughly as possible, photo ID is a necessity. 2. It is critical that you inform me as to the identity of your "reliable source". 3. Provide me with a brief outline of your previous international monetary transfer experience. Once you have fulfilled these three requirements we will continue with business. Thank you, I look forward to assisting you. Sincerely, TL ................................... On 2/5/07, clifford owusu wrote: Dear TL, Thank you very much for your email.

  14. (I post this here because it is not skydiving/bonfire related and I will get the answer I want 10 times faster here.) My buddy tells me of a cliff he jumps regularly that is 100 feet in Blue Mesa Lake (CO). I have been on cliffs that high and I struggle to believe that someone casually jumps off of cliffs that high. I do not believe it undoable, but I do remember hardcore greek divers in a documentary doing no more than 130 feet. Also, what is the competition regulation height for olympic diving competitions? I think it is 10 meters or 33 feet. (I googled but could not find.) --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!
  15. Hey there! Hope all is well on your end. Although I am currently in eastern france, my brother is flying around Niger. He took the photo, i guess on takeoff. The thread is actually a copy/modification of this one http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=2442538;search_string=AN-2%20CHina;#2442538 which if I remember correctly was the start of the whole AN-2 joke here. Here are more photos with his descriptions: "I'll probably be here for another week and then we move to a camp 200km into the dessert. Hopefully i'll I be home by the first week of March, but the job will probably go on past that." Original: The Antanov 2's, one of which was pulled out of it's anchor points and dumped by the wind. The crowd was not for us ;-) but for the president that visited town that day. 1 Agades early morning from the air. 2 The most famous building an Agades, the ancient mud mosque's tower. 3.

  17. Who can tell me what kind of plane this is? (see photos, obviously!!) Seen flying/TUMBLING(!) around central AFRICA. Since there isn't a single DZ in CENTRAL AFRICA, I tried to get closer to talk to the pilot about getting a ride to altitude, but the soldiers there wouldnt let me near the thing.........maybe next time.............

  21. I arrived in Grenoble and met Marine who waited for me after my delay. She took me home on the tram, and soon the landlord arrived. We arranged some paperwork and had dinner and good conversation. The next day Marine was going off to work while I would go to the bank and insurance agency, and return before she finished work. Thus she left the only key for me to take, with no one else being home due to it being a couple of days after Christmas. So I grabbed the keys off the table and went about my business for the day, having to return at 19h00 to meet the landlord once more. I arrived back at our apartment block right after dark, and when I reached for the keys to open the door I realized I had made a big mistake. I did not have the aparment keys in my hand, but the keys to Marine's broken car. How this happened I did not know. So I started pondering my options... I did not know whether the landlord owned all three buildings, the single building or just our apartment. (The latter ended up being true). I walked around the building inspecting different routes of ascent, seeing that Marine had left the huge window open, and thus also the door to the kitchen where she smoked when she wasn't supposed to. I decided not to try to climb - which would have been easy - but did not want to be caught halfway up to the 4th floor when the landlord pulled into the parking lot. After all, surely the landlord would have a master key?Well, as it turns out, the latter ended up being very un-true. Mr. Landlord arrived an hour later to find me waiting outside. I explained to him in bad french what had happened, and he calls his wife. Nope, neither he nor she had a key and explained that we will have to call the locksmith. We signed papers and I gave him my €1000 deposit and first months rent while we waited. The locksmith called 3 times to find us due to his own incapability of reading a map. We ended up going to fetch him at the local pizza shop. And so, the 19 year old locksmith tried to open the door with a piece of stiff plastic and I could tell from the start it would not work. I mentioned to the landlord that I could try to climb, but of course, he did not like the idea. We waited for 15 minutes while the little locksmith struggled and failed time after time. He soon gave up and said something in french, pulled out his book and wrote a receipt. Now I'm thinking, €20 would be a lot and €40 would be crazy. He gave me the receipt and what did it say? €95!!! What could I do, but try to protest in broken english and french, and have these two idiots explain to me that in THIS COUNTRY, you pay for the time he tried to open the door. It was then my turn to give up on trying to explain to him that in THIS COUNTRY locksmiths need to learn how to read maps! So now the landlord proposed that Marine and I check into a hotel for the next three days while we wait for one of the other roommates to mail a key. I told him once more (in futility) I could climb the building. We drove to the fishmarket where Marine works, and she, tired after a day's work, explained that she is NOT checking into a hotel. So off goes me and the landlord looking for a ladder. Of course, at that time of night, the search resulted in nothing. At this point I saw no other option but to keep trying to explain to the landlord that it is easy to climb the building - especially since I have been climbing for a long time. Seeing no other options he began to consider it, but still disagreed. In order to convince him I told him that I competed in the Australian Nationals; but did not know how to say "17th" in french. So all of a sudden he thinks I won the Nationals. I didn't dare bet my chances in order to maintain honesty, and in a minute he was on the phone again. We went to the apartment and waited for 20 minutes for his wife to arrive with their neighbor's climbing equipment. She opened the car door and the back seat was FILLED with Rescue Ropes, Full body Harnesses, Carabiners, Slings and straps galore. It was at this point in time that the landlord told me that he is good friends with the upstairs neighbors and we could simply rappel out of their window - EVEN EASIER THAN CLIMBING!!! So we go upstairs, and I throw on a harness, jump out of the window and get into our apartment in less than a minute. 4 hours after I should have climbed in, with my wallet being €1095 euros lighter. I never want to see this guy again. --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!
  22. Cool, I like the fact that it is google which is integrated with the rest of it. But, the photos are easily uploadable, viewable, so are they stored in full size, or does picasa resize it? I would like to keep the photos for later editing and printing at full resolution. Thanks
  23. Also, I will occasionally type up in blog style so if the two options are somehow tied/linked it would be even better. --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!
  24. I just returned to France where I will be for a while, coming back from Rome, Barcelona, Valencia and Paris. I have about 1GB of photos/videos on my camera card (maxed) that I want to make available to friend and family on the web. I have a steady internet connection available for several hours at a time. What sites are the best for my purposes? --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!
  25. In deciding what to do when we are going to Paris, Barcelona, Valencia and Rome over the next weeks, I thought I would consult DZ.com. Good, hole in the wall restaurants? Less traveled but worthwhile places to go? Cool things to do? (I am aware of the usual, so this is an attempt to find the out of the way worthwhile places.) Thanks!
