Arrivée est arrivé!

[Karla]

My June birthday has also become January. The year is correct.
I suspect some computer glitch has defaulted everyone to January.

My July birthday did the same, so you might be right there.

[3peaker]

Mine checked wrong too. I think the simple 'Everyone born in January' helps the Computer to recognise Membership bands. I change bands next year and have been correctly billed for the change.

(@Ashaman - members have to be reminded of their password somehow - this is the most straightforward way of doing it.  It used to be printed, in plain view, on every address label - but that is no longer done.)

I still have my original password, so it does not bother me personally - at worst they could fiddle about with the details of my calendar event-  but if I had changed it to something else I would be very miffed as it could open me up to attack on other sites.

Actually that can't happen. When you change your password AUKweb keeps your old one. The renewal slip thingy only prints your first password!

Odd, I know ...

The birthday glitch didn't affect me because I actually was born in January

And the old one still works, which, thinking about it, might be a security issue.

[frankly frankie]

It all works as intended - ie, you have two passwords, both of which give you access, one of which you can change to your own taste and then forget, the other you can't change and won't get forgotten and so can always be used to restore your access.  The 'system' or non-changing one is also non-memorable, so it's not really an issue if it's printed anywhere.  I certainly don't know mine and I've had it over 10 years.  Heck, half our members don't even know their membership numbers ...

Oh yuz it does [said another Jan'rite]

Increased demand on CAIK leading to stockpiling, shortages and riots

[Karla]

That's a point, I shall relish the chance to have two birthdays this year!

[mikewigley]

I'm as puzzled by the glitch with the date of birth information as you are.  In fact, I'm probably even more puzzled.  The data was correct when I supplied it for printing the renewals forms, but the mail merge has done something really odd.  It's a pain but probably only for the Renewals delegates - when they attempt to "correct" the date of birth, they will see that the database still holds the correct value - or at least it holds the original value which may or may not have been correct all along

Oi, that's not funny, they actually are

Half a pint of milk in my arrivee!

2/2/2012 @ 10:40, and it's through the letterbox, and onto the Cat (well it was sat on the mat).

Welcome to all the new Super Randonneurs - all 120 of them. They have really unusual first names, but their surnames seem quite common in an unusual sort of way.

[jimbhoy]

Is this the Handbook or have i missed that ?

[tiermat]

Is this the Handbook or have i missed that ?

No, the new Arrivee and handbook are in the same envelope (well mine is anyway, it arrived this morning)

As a bonus there is not one, but two articles by our very own Deano.

[LindaG]

Has boab got nearly a full house in this year's Handbook or what?

Chapeau!

[GrahamG]

Superb. Just had a text to say my article is in it!  If you can't get a ride photo in just write an article with a photo

[LEE]

Superb. Just had a text to say my article is in it!  If you can't get a ride photo in just write an article with a photo of a smug grin

FTFY

I got the copy of Arrivée without a handbook. Have I been short-changed?

[jogler]

Quelle suprise.

I think that's the first picture I've seen of you on a bike!

(I don't think I screamed too much )

[jogler]

Actually that's not the first pic of me in Arrivee 

[eck]

I don't think this pic made Arrivée, but here's yer man astride a bike, though not actually riding it, on the right, in the days when he was young, tall and handsome, at the start of the Potter for Tea a couple of years ago.  Note Mrs eck gazing on adoringly...
