How Full is Your PaB?

One of the suggestions that have come up for iPaB has been some type of indicator of how full a wall container is... I think way back when I started this project, I had a similar idea -- not only would I like to know what parts are on the PaB wall, but how plentiful are they.  So I looked for a 'progress bar' example in CSS, found it simple enough to implement on a web page; added a field to the database, updated the form, did a little testing and voilà!  By indicating 'near full', you see the a bar like (6,1); 'near empty' will be like (5,1); 'quarter full' will be like '(6,2); 'half full' the bar will be like (6,3); and 'three quarters full' will be like (6,4).  I might work on touch up the graphic a little, but let me know what you think.  Hopefully you'll find is useful.

In the mean time, I've added two new stores, Brighton, UK and Milton Keynes, UK.

Random eBay Finds: The LEGO Builders Club Pin

Every once in awhile, I enjoy looking on eBay for unusual LEGO items.  So here's one that I found, a LEGO Builders Club Pin.  The item is in the UK.  And looking on Bricklink, it was released in the UK in '81.  And upon further investigation, there was a senior member badge.  Very cool.

Legoland Windsor, UK

Just a few pictures of my trip to Legoland Windsor, UK. They're not digital... scanned from prints... This was my first Legoland experience...

UK Southwest LEGOFest

Here's the only photo I can find of me from attending the UK LEGOFest on the 18th September 1999 from Ian Bishop's picts. I wish I had taken more photos.

Note: This was a few years before "Brickish" was established...

Note: I wore a "bum" t-shirt which people got a laugh out of... American for "one who sponges off others and avoids work", not British for "buttocks".

Note: Tony is holding a copy of #3478. I had loaded up on those for me mates in the UK, right before leaving on holiday.
