Hil,

I can not blame you, but you seem to have left me off your list 23.05.2003

Where am I coming and how are the mighty miners doing?

I tried to come up with a more Lippie post,but understand you girlies have enough already (;-)0

Ashley,

I'm a bit confused by your post ......... you're certainly there on the link that I'm looking at.

I've updated the game to include the weekend trades and the updated should now be viewable by clicking here. However, when I clicked, I still got the update from 23rd even after refreshing, so maybe there are some dark mysterious forces at work. If it's still not working a bit later I'll try again.

I've republished it and it all seems to be OK now. You're definitely there, Ashley, and riding along merrily in 6th place.

Hil,

Sorry when I last clicked I was in table miners but not listed top sumary list, which weird.

Thanks for all yr efforts on this running the game for us all.

Any news on GD?

Cheers

Ash

PS Worse mistake changing from ELAN Corp at 215p, would be well over 83,700 now at 360p!

can I play too?

Hilary the game link produced a blank screen on Me computer after a flash of the tables and after Me played around with it for a while it crashed Me computer.

I'm sorry about that T_i_m, but I'm not so sure that I'm to blame. The table is certainly OK for me now. Would it be your computer, by any chance? I've heard that the BBC Acorn isn't so clever when it comes to the internet.

:-)

Don't worry ........ I'll update the game a bit later and we can see if that makes a difference.

Thanks for the warning - Me will now abandon plans to pension off Me Sinclair Spectrum and buy one of these new fangaled PC things.

It worked this morning when Me left it long enough - the problem may have been due to the CSS, or rather a number of CSSes. The download is huge and seems to contain vast amounts of trash from Jeff's bank's system - Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (Me supposes that is why they use the font-family:Tahoma!). They seem to be using Office 2000. Does that run on a BBC Acorn?

Most of the coding is just junk and probably automatically generated and there does not seem to be any need for javascript for this task.

PS Does Jeff speak Japanese?

T_i_m,

I think that all the junk is generated by Excel when it converts the spreadsheet to HTML. The conversion includes the formulae as well as the results. I don't know if it is possible for Jeff to just save the results and not the formulae. This would presumably cut out some of the junk. The rest of the HTML looks to be cell formatting though which is necessary. Jeff??

What sort of internet connection have you got? I'm on DSL and the page loads very quickly for me. I've also put a DHTML (trailing eyes) script into the page which doesn't seem to be working. I'll update the game in a little while and hope that it works a bit better.

Has anybody else had any problems?

Me is just dial up (the Spectrum can't keep up with anything else!)

Any other way of doing it would just give someone extra work (eg one of Jeff's secretaries!) It is possible to link two sheets in exel and just have the numbers in the second.

One solution in the long term would be to use one of the portfolio calculators for each contestant (eg the one on ADVFN) and copy the total directly into HTML. That way you don't have to copy prices.

T_i_m,

I've now updated the game. This time, Jeff has saved just the results and not the formulae and the file size is consequently about 2/3 of it's earlier size which should make it quicker to load. I've inserted the "watching eyes" script for a bit of fun, but that shouldn't make much difference. The updated should now be viewable by clicking here, but, like yesterday, it takes a little while for Pipex to update things.

The contest seems to be hotting up. There's only 400 difference between Jeroo and Foale now, so the race to the finish could be interesting.

Me is ignored and not in the hit parade, me flopped badly so me is pi**ed off..

ny last holding tip proved to be a DUD......BANG, BANG...lw

Hilary, that's a big improvement.
Now I can see exactly where I'm losing my money! I knew I should of closed my IMT short a couple of weekends ago, it's really come back strong and as for shorting NXT .... doh! I've even got some of my own hard earned on that one. Still, not too far now to break-even ... lol

Jeff,

If you're lurking, I've now got MS Office 2000 installed and I've converted the game file to xls.

There is still a problem with the formulae failing to convert though, but I think I can overcome it by saving the results rather than the formulae as you did yesterday. Trouble is, I can't fathom out how you save just the results. Help please??

Morning Hil
What I did was select all the cells copy and then paste special with values only to another worksheet. Then do the same again but on paste special choose formats only.

Thanks Jeff,

I'll have a go at that a bit later on.

Jeff,

It works ..... thanks.

My only problem now is that I've been uploading through FrontPage 98 and that has now been replaced with a later version (2000) and it doesn't work in quite the same way. I've now got to fathom out how to publish the damn thing. Doh!

It transpires that Pipex webspace only supports FrontPage 98 and does not support the server extensions of version 2k. That introduces a problem as my 98 version was overwritten and deleted as the 2k version was installed.

:-(

In the meantime, I've uploaded the updated game to the manky Greatnow webspace and the file can be viewed by clicking here.

We have a new leader. WELL DONE FOALE!!

edit: FP98 now re-installed and viewable on Pipex again by clicking here.

Game updated again as at close tonight. It's on the Pipex webspace, but might take a little while to refresh as and when Pipex do whatever it is that they have to do.

One day to go and Foale seems to have developed a clear lead.

OH WHAT! I don't beeeelieve it! After leading from the second week I get knocked off top spot on the the penultimate day by Foale? How's that for luck, eh? Couple that with being 300 + points off my FTSE prediction (and a rather sad short on ANL today) - Tut.

Well done Foale.
