I’ve had a look online for the plugin and can only see Pirate links

[John & Dawn Roddick]

What action would I need to take to rectify that Chris?

[John & Dawn Roddick]

Okay, I’ve tried Tim’s suggestion and still can’t get anything to cut. It did however cause the bladeholder to move from one side of the cutter to the other, so there is some communication between the cutter and PC.

Does anyone else have suggestions on how to sort this out?

Thanks

[John & Dawn Roddick]

Thanks for the advice. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software but that didn’t help

Don’t know how to send from DOS, but will try Tim’s suggestion

Had a great time here too. I was kayaking on Loch Lomond on Saturday (have sunburnt face to show for it) and spent yesterday at Blair Drummond Safari Park. I only have a 2 day week ahead so that’s even better!

[John & Dawn Roddick]

Well I’ve just been out in the howling wind and peeing rain as I stupidly offered to take my mum’s dog for a walk. I’m quite glad of the weather really as I’ve had to pull out of a kayaking trip, which will probably be cancelled anyway, so at least I won’t feel that I’ve missed out on something.

[John & Dawn Roddick]

Dave, don’t hold out much hope of Trading Standards doing much. I’ve had major issues with a purchase from Arnold Clark , including the fact that they hadn’t MOTd the car even although they told us they had. The details were passed to Trading Standards almost 4 weeks ago and they have only just assigned it to an officer, who hasn’t even contacted me yet. All this despite the fact that another Trading Standards office told me that there would potentially be a criminal investigation involved.

Weather wasn’t too bad for it yesterday although I saw hordes of people sensible enough to have their wellies on. I’m looking out the window and it’s chucking it down so I don’t think they’ll be so fortunate today.

I’ve always used serial cable to operate my Camm1 from Signtools, so unfortunately don’t have a fix to your USB issue, however I would advise you to email ASigns directly in Australia with your serial number and problem – we have done this a few times in the past and found them to be extremely helpful.

Good luck

Just noticed that the set up info for the D-1020 refers to a USB connection as below:-

If you are using a USB connection you may have to install the Roland Windows driver that comes with the plotter, so that the USB port can be selected in SignTools.

Obviously that’s a different model of cutter but it may be worth a try.

I also believe there is something more out there. I’ve never seen a ghost but had a very spooky experience when I was about 18. I woke up one Sunday morning and the first thing that came into my head was that I had had a dream in which I had passed a guy on the street whom I hadn’t seen for a couple of years – I hadn’t known him well, one of my friends had gone out with him a couple of times. I dismissed the dream until later that day I discovered that he had been involved in a road accident the previous night. He was quite seriously hurt and one of the passengers was killed.

[John & Dawn Roddick]

Well Marcella, you were right about McFly – it was good, although I think you underestimated how difficult the crowd could be. The wee girl in front of me had a bit of a strop because one of her earplugs fell out and then she spilled her Sherbet DibDab on her seat, then I had some bird who had missed out a few Weight Watchers classes to pay for her ticket beside me and seemed to think she had paid for my seat as well as hers! She was arm in arm with her "boyfriend" – but no, son I’m sorry – straight men don’t wear shocking pink tshirts in public and burst into tears when McFly take to the stage! Other than that we had a great night.

——————————————————————————–

It’s not a crocodile – it’s an alligator…….

Crocodiles and alligators – two creatures that share many similarities. But what are the real differences between them? This is probably the most frequently asked question when it comes to crocodilians, and while the answer may appear straightforward the real truths lie in the details.
SIAMESE
CROCODILE

1. Different families: There are three groups (families) of crocodilians: the alligatoridae, which includes the alligator and the caimans; the crocodylidae, which includes the “true” crocodiles; and the gavialidae, which contains only the gharial. So, the first difference is that alligators and crocodiles are actually in different families.

2. Shape of the jaw: The easiest way of telling apart crocodiles from alligators, however, is to look at their noses. Alligators (and caimans) have a wide “U”-shaped, rounded snout (like a shovel), whereas crocodiles tend to have longer and more pointed “V”-shaped noses. This is illustrated in the diagram to the left (C = alligator, D = crocodile). The broad snout of alligators is designed for strength, capable of withstanding the stress caused to bone when massive force is applied to crack open turtles and hard-shelled invertebrates which form part of their diet. Of course, alligators eat softer prey too, but hard-shelled prey are ubiquitous in their environment and it’s a big advantage to be able to eat them. Conversely, the pointed snout of a crocodile isn’t quite as strong as the alligatorine shape, but the crocodile is still capable of exerting massive biting power. Crocodile jaws can be thought of as being more generalised – ideal for a wide variety of prey. The full extent of the way jaw shape influences diet isn’t particularly well studied in crocodilians, but it’s obvious that a very thin nose like a gharial’s is much better at dealing with a fish than a turtle! There are 23 species of crocodilians, though, and this simple broad vs. narrow rule doesn’t always work.

3. Placement of teeth: In alligators, the upper jaw is wider than the lower jaw and completely overlaps it. Therefore, the teeth in the lower jaw are almost completely hidden when the mouth closes, fitting neatly into small depressions or sockets in the upper jaw. This is particularly apparent with the large fourth tooth in the lower jaw (see [A] in diagram on right). In crocodiles, the upper jaw and lower jaw are approximately the same width, and so teeth in the lower jaw fit along the margin of the upper jaw when the mouth is closed. Therefore, the upper teeth interlock (and “interdigitate”) with the lower teeth when the mouth shuts. As the large fourth tooth in the lower jaw also fits outside the upper jaw, there is a well-defined constriction in the upper jaw behind the nostrils to accommodate it when the mouth is closed (see [B] in diagram on right). This constriction occurs at the boundary of the premaxilla and the maxilla in the upper jaw.

4. Lingual salt glands: Crocodiles and gharials also differ from alligators and caimans in having functioning salt glands on their tongue. Structurally, these are actually modified salivary glands, and while alligators and caimans also have these structures they appear to have lost the ability to use them for excreting significant amounts of salt. This makes crocodiles more tolerant to life in saline water, including sea water in some species. Moreover, it suggests that crocodiles have a more recent marine ancestry: the ability to migrate across wide marine bodies, and even live there for extended periods, would certainly explain their current wide distribution across different continents. If ancestral species could live in marine environments, this ability has not been completely lost in modern crocodiles. Species such as saltwater crocodiles (C. porosus) can survive for extended periods in tidal estuaries, around the coast, and even out to sea. Alligators and caimans have lost much of this osmotic ability to secrete excess salt through the tongue glands, and can only tolerate it for short periods of time, prefering to remain in freshwater areas when possible. However, it is not unknown for large alligators to find their way into tidal mangroves and very rarely into coastal areas.
5. Integumentary sense organs: Both crocodiles and alligators have small, sensory pits dotted around the upper and lower jaws – take a close look on a photograph, and you’ll see small, black speckles almost like unshaven stubble. These are capable of detecting small pressure changes in water, and assist in locating and capturing prey. These were originally called ISOs, or Integumentary Sense Organs, although recent research has renamed them DPRs (Dermal Pressure Receptors). Crocodiles have similar organs covering virtually every scale on their body, but alligators and caimans only have those around the jaws. Although it’s been known for years that sense organs on the jaws are involved in pressure detection, nobody is quite sure what those organs covering the rest of the body in crocodiles actually do. They probably extend the sensory surface over the crocodile’s entire body, but previous researchers have suggested they may assist in chemical reception, or even salinity detection. The confusion lies over why crocodiles have them, but not alligators and caimans. Regardless of their role, they’re very good at telling apart crocodile skin from alligator skin. Crocodile and alligator skin wallets, handbags, boots etc are easy to tell apart – if the scales have a small spot or dimple close to the edge, you know the skin is from a crocodile and not an alligator or caiman.
