It's a New Year!


Posted Dec 31, 2007 by Matt | Tags: site updates

Happy New Year everyone! Just a slight tweak to the template used for the website, made the page sizes a touch smaller and they should load much faster. They also display more similarly between Firefox 2 and Internet Explorer 6.

Also some minor updates to several pages to reflect what has happened in the last several months.

Use "common sense" when operating trebuchets and catapults. Even little ones can be dangerous. Do not place anything you are not willing to lose in the plane of the arm rotation (this includes yourself, body parts, car windshields, cameras, etc). These catapults and trebuchets are capable of throwing just as far backwards as forwards, and the use of a backstop of some sort is recommended, though the use of one does not make the region behind it safe.

Also, just because the throw got away safely downrange does not mean the end of the danger. The arm is likely still swinging wildly along with the counterweight, and there is a sling whipping around. One thing many people fail to take into account is this sling; some people put a metal ring on the slip end of the sling and this ring can HURT when whipping around!

Have fun hurling, but please KEEP IT SAFE!!!
