::Your Glossary is now linked from the nav bar, as well as the main page. This is great! It will be great to keep developing it, but it's already extremely helpful! Thanks very much for pulling that together. | |||
::Blending information sounds like an excellent direction, and some kind of flow chart graphic or narrative on how to tweak flavor elements would be very helpful! Timely topic for me too. I have done a very limited amount of tweaking existing blends, and want to do more. In part, I have some tobacco growing. Too early to tell if it will make it all the way to harvest, but I'm growing Nadole (a variety of Kentucky Dark), and also some Burley (can't remember the variety). Incidentally, Kentucky Dark can be air cured, as well as fire cured. It is likely related to Burley, but is different than Burley. It's darker, and the leaves tend to be smaller, and it generally has a higher nicotine content. We live in the heart of the Black Patch region of Western KY, where Kentucky Dark is growing all around us here. Had to give it a try! If it makes it through the harvest and a bit of air curing process, I'll also try to fire some of it, but haven't figured out how to pull that off yet on a scale that will work for just a few plants. Build a very little barn of some kind, I guess! | |||
::Have often wanted to see more on Meers! That would be great too, and an estate pipe buyers guide would be fantastic! | |||
::Let me know if you see anywhere else to link the Glossary that might be helpful, or please feel free to link at will when you notice a good spot. Thanks so much for all your work and ideas. It's an amazing help and encouragement! | |||
::Recovery is going better than I thought. And, it's great to have some time to play with Pipedia, which has also really helped me to keep from going crazy while I can't do much physically! Incidentally, recovering from a much more minor surgery is how I cam up with Pipedia in the first place! Thanks again, Chirs! --[[User:Sethile|sethile]] ([[User talk:Sethile|talk]]) 07:48, 5 June 2015 (CDT) | |||
Glad to hear it. And fascinated by the growing, that's my next leap, but I live on the surface of the sun apparently here in South Florida, so gardening has its own issues. For now I'll at least keep trying to catch when I run across a word that may need explaining and try to link from there, but not to the degree wikipedia does it. And I'll have to think about how to fire cure in miniature, but I bet you could flue cure the heck out of it with a barbecue smoker and a dog house with vents, lol. And I love doing this stuff, only in small part because of how much I learned here, but you're very welcome. There has never been a resource like this for smokers. Ever. | |||

Just noticed the banner ads on the complete corncob primer are blank. You're probably aware, but just in case. | |||

::Interesting. I was not aware of that and just checked. They were showing up fine for me. And they showed up on my phone and tablet too. Had my wife check on her computer and they did not show! Turns out she uses an add blocker. When she switched it off, presto, there they were! Interesting in that it was only catching the Missouri Meerschaum ones and not ones for the other underwriters in terms of stuff in content, but all of them were blocked in the top and bottom positions that are part of the skin... So, my big question is, do you have add blocking enabled on your browser? Bet so... | |||
::Pretty sure the reason the add blocker was catching the Missouri Meerschaum banners in content like that and not other underwriters was that the MM banners had "AD" in the file name, and the others did not. I changed the file names, but my wife's add blocker still caught them. I suspect the images themselves are now recognized by the add blocker independent of the file name. | |||
::Thanks for the heads up on this, Chris! Very interesting! --[[User:Sethile|sethile]] ([[User talk:Sethile|talk]]) 22:10, 8 June 2015 (CDT) | |||
Just saw this. And yes, I have adblock enabled. Nice detective work, lol. | |||

== Au Pacha == | |||
Lopes and The Pipe Companion book both have this one wrong. I'll change it later, just giving a heads up why, it's actually a tobacconist called Au Pacha de Nancy, they're actually still there, although it looks like a souvenir shop now. I have a picture of the Diana pipe somewhere. It's nuts. The steed is rearing because there's some kind of demonic hellhound trying to eat it, it's a pipe with a lot going on, lol. | |||
::Thanks for letting me know! Yes, please do correct it! And it would be great to have that picture as part of it if you can find it... | |||
::I've run into several inaccuracies with Lopes. It's a great book, and a huge blessing that he put it together, but you can't trust the entries without pulling up some additional corroborative sources. Thanks for keeping an eye out! --[[User:Sethile|sethile]] ([[User talk:Sethile|talk]]) 20:01, 9 June 2015 (CDT) | |||
Sure, just one I've ogled before. And it's confusing, there were like 11 Au Pachas, even the Europeans have it wrong. I put the picture up. She should probably find a different hunting spot. I didn't mention it, either, but the Nashville museum closed, Dr. Sarunas "Sharkey" Peckus is the last known owner of this one, along with an incredible number of historically important meerschaums I'd like to have. He co-wrote the Rappaport porcelain pipe book. Never met or met anyone who has met him, but his collection is ridiculous. Got the big award in Chicago in '09. | |||
Have a great one! --[[User:Flatticus|Flatticus]] ([[User talk:Flatticus|talk]]) 10:50, 10 June 2015 (CDT) | |||
::Fantastic to have that straightened out, along with the photo! Thanks! That's a good example of the crazy rats nest of information out there when it comes to pipes! I'm in Nashville a lot, and tried to track that museum down at one point when I found it had been closed down. Too bad. That's a great little book, though! --[[User:Sethile|sethile]] ([[User talk:Sethile|talk]]) 11:02, 10 June 2015 (CDT) | |||

I don't have the book myself, only bits and pieces, but if you have it scanned and want to send me a chunk I'll share the effort. | |||

:That's a wonderful offer, Chris, thanks! Just sent you an E-mail... It's been interesting, but more than a bit daunting. Couple other similar projects to do at some point too, and they may prove even more challenging! --[[User:Sethile|sethile]] ([[User talk:Sethile|talk]]) 12:52, 12 June 2015 (CDT) | |||
Haven't disappeared, just swamped with work for the last couple of weeks, don't worry, lol. | |||

== Mark Stewart == | |||
Hey, Scott, you may be in your crazy period, I'm just coming out of mine I think Monday. In the meantime, I sadly learned yesterday that Mark Stewart, who went by periqueguy on the forums, has passed away. I don't know if you and he were acquainted, I only knew him a very little from his posts myself. He doesn't have a page here, but I'm going to go ahead and add one, and note him as a broken pipe. Wanted to bring it to your attention in case there's a process to that I don't know, and just for the sad sake of it all. | |||
--[[User:Flatticus|Flatticus]] ([[User talk:Flatticus|talk]]) 14:41, 17 July 2015 (CDT) | |||
:Very sorry to hear about Mark. Yes, by all means, please add an article on him. Any information about him and his work would be great! I only knew him from the forum, but very sad to hear he is no longer with us... | |||
:I'm on a trip now and will head into a very busy time at work when I get back... Was fun to have some focused time on Pipedia, and it kept me from going nuts during the early part of recovery! --[[User:Sethile|sethile]] ([[User talk:Sethile|talk]]) 22:50, 17 July 2015 (CDT)i | |||
Travel safe. Don't worry, I'll step up the effort now that you're back in fighting shape and under constant demand again, lol. | |||

== Where does the time go... == | |||
Looks like you're dealing with some real fun lately, sorry I've been so absent. Still haven't quite wrapped my head around the best way to start attacking the PSE, but stop in now like daily to start before something catches fire at work. Figured I should at least let you know I'm alive, and empathizing. | |||
--[[User:Flatticus|Flatticus]] ([[User talk:Flatticus|talk]]) 16:36, 16 August 2015 (CDT) | |||
:Great to hear from you, Chris! Thanks for checking in... Yes, the idea of diving into to the PSE project is daunting!! No pressure on that or other work here! It's great to have your help, and I totally understand that other things must take priority. Speaking of that, I've been back to work at the university for 2 weeks. The semester starts Tuesday.. And I have also been trying to get some pipes made for an upcoming show in Columbus. I miss the more focused time with things here I had for a while, but still dip an oar in now and then, and generally keep an eye on things... It's great to know it's here waiting for us when we have time to do it! --[[User:Sethile|sethile]] ([[User talk:Sethile|talk]]) 18:19, 16 August 2015 (CDT) | |||
== Weird dead link. == | |||
This page is impossible to link properly for some highly technical reason that's beyond me. Shows up blank when you link it anywhere. Shame, it's a good article. This link is dead, too, but if you search for "Fallon" it comes up and you can click it and see the text. No idea how that's possible. | |||
http://pipedia.org/wiki/Good-Bye_Cigarettes,_Hello_Pipe! | |||
:Hmm... That is strange. This should be the direct internal link: [[Good-Bye Cigarettes, Hello Pipe!]], and this should be the direct external one <br> | |||
: http://pipedia.org/wiki/Good-Bye_Cigarettes,_Hello_Pipe! | |||
: Well that's odd. The internal link works fine. That is likely not a kosher URL, and I'll bet it has something to do with that exclamation point. It's odd how it displays in the link compared to when viewing it in the editor. I'll try renaming it, and also setting up a rederict. | |||
:OK, that seems to be working. You can get to it either way. For the record, this is now the article location for an internal link: [[Good-Bye Cigarettes, Hello Pipe]] , and this is for an external link: http://pipedia.org/wiki/Good-Bye_Cigarettes,_Hello_Pipe , but even the old way should work now because of the redirect. Is that as clear as mud?? Thanks for pointing this out, Chris. It is a great article! | |||
== Another weird dead link. == | |||
Found this one by accident. Another one showing up dead if linked. I'm still coming back to get about a billion pages cleaned up any time, by the way. Not sure what the heck happened to the last half a year. | |||
http://pipedia.org/wiki/Laxey_Pipes_Ltd | |||
:Sure enough... It's the period at the end, and it depends on platform specific formatting. For instance, Mediawiki here interprets that as a link followed by a period, when the link should actually include the period. Anyway, I fixed it by dropping the period from the name and setting up a redirect from the old one, so we can have our period, and eat it too ;) | |||
:Great to hear you're still into to doing some stuff! I totally understand about the time... I have about a million irons in the fire right now... The cool thing about this project is it sits here waiting for us anytime, there is no end of stuff to do, and no one dies if it takes us a while to get around to it!! --[[User:Sethile|sethile]] ([[User talk:Sethile|talk]]) 10:38, 6 January 2016 (CST) | |||
== Revision to add links to DSH Pipes page == | |||
Hey Scott, | |||
I noticed your revisions this morning. I'm not sure what happened, but the formatting, images, and links other than the ones you mentioned in your revision were lost. I'm unsure why you did this revision as links to my mentors' pages were already in place. I undid your revisions to restore the work I did yesterday. Please have a look and let me know if links to my mentors' pages are not working correctly for you. The links work for me. | |||
Thanks for your attentiveness to this Wiki! | |||
Sincerely, | |||
David | |||
::Hello David! Sorry about that... Apparently I was editing the older version instead of the newer one. I've simplified the links. Hopefully all your other changes are still there this time! Let me know if you see anything amiss.... --[[User:Sethile|sethile]] ([[User talk:Sethile|talk]]) 11:30, 31 July 2018 (CDT) | |||
::::Hey Scott, No worries! I really appreciate how attentive you are to the wiki. The new simplified links work great and all of my edits appear to be how I wanted them. Thanks again! -David | |||
