[edit] Conversion scripts

Conversion? The maths, although tedious, is only algebra and trigonometry. Work your way through this lot:

• Introduction - includes link to a spreadsheet
• convert.c - both way conversions. This converted very easily into oscoor_a.htm (see next link) so would probably convert to other scripts equally easily
• The javascript that template:oscoor calls - converts Grid Refs to lat/long. Includes links to more C code at York and the Ordnance Survey guide to conversion
• Egil's code for what template:coor calls - transversemercator.php is the one of interest. Ie. converts lat/long to Grid Refs
• Ordnance Survey spreadsheet - I have never got into this to understand it
• Geotools - an open source Java GIS toolkit - only 5 Mbytes of source code for you to study - if you speak Java
• My Furl may contain other stuff

Since you like to position your dots precisely, you need to be aware that "coor" and "oscoor" are both likely to give 140 metre discrepancies between their coordinates and those used in other places, eg. multimap - see note in this paragraph.

[edit] lad

It is sung by The Rt. Hon. Sir Joseph Porter, KCB (First Lord of the Admiralty) with the female chorus of the First Lord's sisters, cousins and aunts echoing the last lines of each verse. (It is almost as though Gilbert anticipated that the operetta would become very popular with amateur companies - such a chorus can provide parts for all females in the company who have not been given a named part and can accommodate all ages!) In the first production George Grossmith played Sir Joseph.

The song viciously satirises William Henry Smith.

[edit] zopa

What does the Zopa symbol mean?

This shows you whether your offer is in or out of the Zopa – the zone of possible agreement. If your offer is higher than the rate accepted by the last 5 borrowers in that market, then you are out of the Zopa. If your offer is lower than the highest rate accepted by the last 5 borrowers, you are in the Zopa. Being in the Zopa will mean your money gets lent out as fast as possible.

[edit] Woolly thinking

You shot yourself in the foot by creating Thomas wooltorton and I assumed that Geogre's Law applied. Also, a specific rejection at Wikipedia:Articles for creation/2006-08-21 did not help.

Now why not try again. Create Thomas Wooltorton which already has one incoming link. Flesh the article out a bit more with simple things like his date of birth!, a couple of external links and a category. You will probably find that it sticks without any problem. -- RHaworth 18:49, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
