Apparently I mistyped my password as I now retried and was able to login afterall.
However, I did try the "Lost password?" function but never got any mail from UKPS.
Nothing in the spam folder either. It has only been a few hours since I requested the mail but usually these things go lightning fast so I figured there might be something wrong?
Might be worth checking, admin?
If I do get the mail I'll let you know.
EDIT: nope, never received the recovery mail!
EDIT2: Received them but took days?

Certificate outdated?
03 October 2010 - 12:34 AM
Just when I tried loggin in I got a firefox message saying the certificate is outdated (or something similar).
I had to add it to trusted websites to continue.
Anyone else experienced this? Or is my PC being hijacked?!

External links
27 September 2010 - 09:59 PM
I'm wondering if it's not possible to change the way external links open?
As it is now, they're being opened in the same page. If I then find the external link to be interesting I start reading and eventually wandering off from UKPS.
If these would be opened in a new browser tab/window I'd appreciate it as I then can keep the UKPS one open instead of clicking the back button xx times.
Just a suggestion

I had an (small) accident - regarding grinding ping pong balls
27 August 2010 - 07:00 PM
Ok, I just had an accident in my garage... Luckely a small one and I'm only slightly injured.
Here's the story:
When I buy ematches they don't come with pyrogen so I have to dip them myself.
To do so, I need a sensitive composition (obviously
) and NC as a protective coating (think you all know).
As I don't have commercial NC laquer I make it myself from pingpong balls. This works just as good.
Doing this manually takes some time. So, to make life easier, I use a (coffee)grinder.
I've done this a couple times in the past without any probs until now.
I was busy grinding the ping pongs one by one when all of a sudden I saw a (yellow) flame inside the (hard) plastic container.
Immediatly I heard a sizzling noise and saw brown smoke inside the container. I was about to open the container but realized it was about to explode because of the pressure building up inside.
I was very lucky to turn away my head just in time when it did explode.
Because it was inside the garage (door open though) this strenghtened the sound.
My ears were buzzing for a few minutes and some time later I saw blood on my hand. There are a few cuts from the plastic shrapnel but not too serious.
If I had turned away my head a few seconds later I could've been blind by now
As for the container... plastic shrapnel must be spreaded all over my garage as I could find very little.
Below are pics from my hand and the grinder with container. Or what's left of it...

There are probably 3 possibilities:
- Small metal particles from the workbench got onto the ping pong balls causing a spark in the container wich then would ignite the NC dust.
- Friction causing heat and igniting the NC.
- Motor contamination that got into the container through the bearing.
Let this be a lesson to all of us: if you make NC yourself with ping pong balls, cut them by hand!
I know I will ...
