That's perfect! Welcome to GuildWiki by the way. :D 23:12, 30 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much. I appreciate it, hopefully I can make more meaningful contributions. Tenetke 02:51, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Image scaling
Did you know that the Wiki can scale images for you? For example, ->, by doing  (the |25px part). (T/C) 08:13, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Wintersday Userbox!
To commemorate the effort you've put into preparing GuildWiki for our Wintersday celebration, I have created a special userbox at Template:User Wintersday:

Wear it with pride! <3 09:33, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Mind if I...
Give a quick fix to your userpage? The top and side bar are borked. --- -- (contribs)  &emsp;(talk)  16:55, 2 December 2008 (UTC)


 * There ya go. Also fixed the background in the meanwhile ^^" --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  19:32, 2 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I appreciate it. Still learning wiki code. It is not what I expected.[[Image:Charm_Animal.jpg|20px|User:Tenetke|Tenetke Mekko]]Tenetke 19:34, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Pre-med userbox
I didn't make a template since there's no category and I'm not sure how many people could use it, so just copy+paste the following code:

Sig image
cf. GW:SIGN - you can't use the Charm Animal icon directly as your sig image. You can re-upload it to a different name (Image:Tenetke sig.jpg, for example) and use it that way, though. Also, max size for a sig image is 50x19px (since it's square, you'll want to set the image size as x19px in your sig). &mdash;Dr Ishmael 20:52, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks I will fix it now. Tenetke 21:00, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

semicolon
it is really hard to get used to not putting ; at the end of every line &mdash; code much, do you? ;-) --◄mendel► 22:31, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
 * NOOOOOOOO!! NOT ANOTHER SEMICOLON! Why do you mock me so? /ragequit........ /rejoin........ AUGH! /emo --Gimmethegepgun 22:33, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I like coding, did quite a bit of my own stuff in Linux. My first I was writing all the comments with // . Didn't work out so well, I still have to go back and check everything earlier I had a page with ; after all the wikicode. [[Image:Spikeicon.png]]Tenetke Mekko 23:02, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
 * You're a natural for writing CSS then. :-) --◄mendel► 23:06, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Haven't had too much time for doing any coding lately though. I am going over a summary now of the Integumentary system and it's relation to the Sympathetic nervous system. I get the relationship, that is the easy part, but I got really interested in the hair erector muscle and how it is used. Doesn't really help much but in some cases of heavy metal poisoning the hairs on a person stand up. This does correspond to the fact that the heavy metal toxicity would reach on both the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. Just wondering what all triggers the basic response in the hair erector muscle. [[Image:Spikeicon.png]]Tenetke Mekko 23:39, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Hairs have muscles? That's just.. wow. So if you watch a movie that gives you goosebumps, you're actually having a workout? Couch potatoes all around the world will love to hear that.
 * I don't shave much, so I don't know if this already exists, but if you could find a substance that triggers this response it could be marketed as a pre-shave lotion and make you lots of money. (Though I doubt that you can sell toxic heavy metals for that purpose nowadays.) --◄mendel► 01:01, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah excellent marketing campaign. Use this, it is guaranteed to leave a lasting impression. It is similar to a tiny muscle that allows the hair to "stand up". It also causes what people think of as goose bumps. That is called cutis anserina and it basically occurs when for whatever reason the erector muscle (arrectores pilorum, think that is the right spelling) contracts. This is usually caused by the sympathetic nervous system. Think porcupines. [[Image:Spikeicon.png]]Tenetke Mekko 01:09, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Discussion on Hair Muscle
I know all that. Did you know that black widow spider bites also cause piloerection? Musculus arrector pili, says my medical dictionary, but of course what you give is the Latin plural of that. "cutis anserina" means "goose skin" and it is actually called that in German (my native tongue). Cold triggers this because in furry animals, raising the hairs "thickens" the insulating layer of fur, thus keeping them warm, but of course *you* know that. Hmm, that may be why pre-shave lotion is alcoholic or similar: the evaporation cools the skin and raises the hairs? --◄mendel► 01:15, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Could be, no idea why it works. I suppose you could use an isotope to cause a slight charge. I have noticed that based on where you are the erector muscle has different names. In the south outside of anatomy it is just called the erector muscle, but in other places it is taught as different names. Makes you wonder how "standardized" modern medicine is huh? I didn't know that about the black widow, now that is really cool. I have dealt with Black Widow bites being from the south united states, but never even knew that as an indicator. Thank you for telling me. Even though we don't need to trap heat the same way anymore it can still function to provide basic tests of the sympathetic nervous system. Aside from that it can help diagnose where nerve function has been interrupted. Do you study medicine or are you interested in it? [[Image:Spikeicon.png]]Tenetke Mekko 02:51, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Just a layman's interest. My SO has studied biology, and I have a professional medical dictionary and google. :-P Diagnose where nerve function has been interrupted: you'd make the patient get goosebumps and see what areas of skin aren't affected? --◄mendel► 03:00, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
