Hi,
Have just joined a small club, who is holding a fishing competition at Claygate Fisheries, the directions have/are very vague.
This fishery is near Maidstone in Kent.
Does anybody know the whereabouts & any angling info of this site?
Thanx.

Many thanks newt,
Have dumped IE.
Am now using firefox, with no probs, no freezing, pages are loading correctly.
Have not had time too delve into whether firefox is capable of SMP

I live in between Maidstone & Headcorn (In Kent) have been snowed in all day, stopped snowing around 4pm after nearly 2 days of constant snow.
Tomorrows forcast is MORE SNOW then turning to rain in the afternoon, i remember the HURRICAN forecast IT WILL BE A LITTLE BIT WINDY.

Great thanx,
I prefere lakes at the moment,easier to get setup, as far as tactics are concerned its a case of finding the nearest angler & asking him!(or her).
My fishing licence isn`t a year old yet! loads to learn.
just walked into local tackle shop & bought loads of gear & off i went.
Have read scores of books all of them contradict each other. Watch all the fishing progs on sky.
i don`t mind what i catch, trouble is at the moment i don`t know what species i am catching. Is there a chart on the web somewhere i can download?
Distance from Maidstone is not an issue (not France though)

Not sure at the moment, i must admit that my software knowledge is limited, but my sat drivers & software is full of dll`s & proxies active ports HTTP channel bundling etc.
Norton internet security 2004 hates it, have managed to configure it, but took a long time.

Thank you all for your kind words & support.
I`m going fishing next weekend, not made up my mind where yet, may go to BAX farm, do you have any more info.

Hi Jaffa,
Not an easy question to answer! alot of it depends on your PC setup.
ie:- what security software you have,firewall, antivirus etc.
all browsers are vulnarable to attacks and so is your operating system, some are built in deliberatly .
alot of popups can be stopped by your isp but they just can`t be bothered, freeserve is the worst.
How do popups work?
Well what happens is when you visit a web site that has been attacked, even when the owner dosn`t even know, a small programme is downloaded to your PC, it can hide anywhere, so when you connect to the internet or at given time frames this small programme goes out and retrieves the advert. That is why ADAWARE is so good at removing popups, it recognises these small programmes & removes them, but it does not stop them getting into your computer, this is where you need a popup blocker!
My daughter just had broadband installed she had no security software installed & she could not use her computer too many popups.
Security now installed she gets none.

Hi all,
First of all i would like to introduce myself as a new member of this forum, & also as a person who started fishing 1 year ago, after a 25year brake, & blimey hasn`t it changed!
I am looking for day ticket places to fish in kent, as i am not a member of any club just yet, & not very experienced
Are there any web sites listing places etc?
I like to fish for anything except pike.

I have been using IE or netscape or Eudora for many years because i could not find anything better for my PC setup(which is quite extreme)but all had the same prob,i dont think IE is SMP compatable. ie.
(Symmetric Multiprocessing, a computer architecture that provides fast performance by making multiple CPUs available to complete individual processes simultaneously (multiprocessing). Unlike asymmetrical processing, any idle processor can be assigned any task, and additional CPUs can be added to improve performance and handle increased loads. A variety of specialized operating systems and hardware arrangements are available to support SMP. Specific applications can benefit from SMP if the code allows multithreading.)
Decided to give Firefox a try & i must admit seems to function in SMP mode, further tests are required, will let you know.

Hi all,
In most cases of IE freezing the cause is a java application problem, in most Microsoft operating systems there is a little programme called "Microsoft VM" (virtual machine)which IE needs to browse the internet. So a re-load of your latest service packs should solve this problem, UNLESS you are an XP user!!!
Now as Max Bygraves once said "I wanna tell you a story"
This little programme called VM was not written by microsoft, it was written by SUN microsystems who took microsoft to court and won thier claim.
So as a consequence microsoft has to remove this programme from thier XP operating systems hence the release of service pk 1a and sp2.
How to find out what you have!
go to a command prompt!
type in jview
should look like what is below
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
© Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
C:Documents and Settingsjview
Microsoft ® Command-line Loader for Java Version 5.00.3810

Usage: JView [options] <classname> [arguments]
Options:
/? displays usage text
/cp <classpath> set class path
/cp:p <path> prepend path to class path
/cp:a <path> append path to class path
/n <namespace> namespace in which to run
/p pauses before terminating if an error occurs
/v verify all classes
/d:<name>=<value> define system property
/a execute AppletViewer
/vst print verbose stack traces (requires debug classes)
/prof[:options] enable profiling (/prof:? for help)
Classname:
.CLASS file to be executed.
Arguments:
command-line arguments to be passed on to the class file
C:Documents and Settings
Please take carefull note of the Command-line Loader for Java
should be:-Version 5.00.3810
Sun microsystems have on their web site the new VM programme ready for download, but i have no details of this at this time.
If you need any help i will only be too pleased to try and help!

PS:- Sorry for the long post.
Daft Broadband Question

Just a thought, if your home is close enough, you could use a wireless link, or if you have a clear line of sight. ie:home roof to business roof you could use microwave link, that way you only pay for your home broadband. But the initial outlay would be higher, which you could probably claim back in some way or another.
