Slight change to Sscots Guide address
This is just to update people wrt my old "Scots Guide to Electronics"
website which does contain some audio related material. The Uni has recently made some changes to their website and an 'old' version of the address no longer works. Their used to be two top level URLs, but now only the 'full name' version works which is now. https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/~www_pa...o/electron.htm (an http: URL also works, but responds as https:). The old short-name version now doesn't work. Jim -- Please use the address on the audiomisc page if you wish to email me.

Slight change to Sscots Guide address
The 'own' both domains but have made this decision for their own reasons.
It seems to be joined to a change to https. I haven't worked for the Uni for years, so have no involvement beyond them continuing to host the pages I built there. They are still in the process making changes. e.g. finding links on other uni pages which the alterations thus far have broken.

Their used to be two top level URLs, but now only the 'full name' ^^^^^ Sorry to butt in like this, just to point out a simple spelling mistake, but I felt impelled to congratulate you on "Bucking the trend" or "Going against the flow". I'm so heartily sick of seeing that "common as muck" "Their - There" spelling error[1] that catching sight of this one made such a nice refreshing change that I thought it more than worthy of a congratulatory note. :-) [1] The usual switch between 'their' and 'there' suggests a slapdash attitude in the author's writing 'style'. The 'other way round' in this case suggests a bit of 'over-thinking' on your part suggesting that you were giving the task of writing this missive the thought it deserved ("If a job's worth doing, it's worth doing well." sort of thing). -- Johnny B Good |

If you mistakenly say "with whom" instead of "who with" people look at you as if you have justed landed from Mars! Anyone living overseas who watches BBC World and Sky News cannot fail to have noticed the large proportion of Scottish news readers and interviewers. Are they the last people left who can speak proper English ? :-)) A Swedish friend asked me, "Why do the English seem so intent on abusing their own language?"

My brother lived in Dundee for quite a time, he was musical director at the theatre there. He aquired a delightful Scottish brogue (not sure what the other shoe was made of:-) I was much younger than he. He called me his favourite Tattiebogle" I was inordinately pleased until I discovered what it meant. Alternatively, all the Aberdonians may have migrated south. Yes. They all seem to be from the East of Scotland. Iain |
