Earthquakes and Whale Beachings
Do you know what the name of the Earthquake was that you reported in Australia? I would like to determine its precise epicentre. Diego Bank (talk)

The epicentre was north of Korumburra in East Gippsland, Victoria. Here's a link to the story on the Australian Broadcasting Commission web site. Ian Fieggen (talk) 01:54, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Tower of Hanoi
Sorry if you were offended, but if you've been here around wikipedia since 2005 you know that anything can be edited/rewritten/reverted by anybody - we don't have to tiptoe around each other's feelings. I didn't rewrite your addition because I didn't understand it; from my point of view, it was not clear enough to be improved. The color-coded illustration that you have since added makes it clear. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 12:06, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi
Hi "Ian" - I would just like to say that it is wrong to be bassive aggressive on Wikipedia! So don't do it please! THANKS! 78.145.50.224 (talk) 21:13, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Mars photo with details
Hello Ian Fieggen, you took the wrong focus for the red Earth moon, but it seems your camera want to take much more sharp photos of the red planet Mars the next months? It will move away from opposition point (a good photo or animation is missing behind the link ...), so the sun spot will move too, and you have the chance to overlay some other photos (with longer exposure for the dark parts in polar region) and future photos for more details of the mars surface, and to show the effect of the moving sun spot mirror with diminishing reflection of sun rays in the direction to planet Earth. What details do we see in your photo? --LudwigSebastianMicheler (talk) 09:53, 8 August 2018 (UTC) But take care to protect your eyes and yourselves from reflected sun rays when watching planet mars! I do not know how strong is the sun light that comes from there. Is a measure of the sun rays reflected from mars surface possible, and is the temperature on the surface higher than normal there (Mars dust storm visible with UV filter or others?)? --LudwigSebastianMicheler (talk) 10:35, 8 August 2018 (UTC)


 * I'd love to take better photos but my good camera died a couple of years ago and my current point-and-shoot camera is ill-suited to this sort of photography. Some day, I'll buy another good camera. In the meantime, better to share any half-decent photos that I manage to produce than to share nothing, right? Ian Fieggen (talk) 23:54, 10 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Sorry, my English is not good enough, but you took a very good photo! Planet mars is very sharp, that is what I wanted to tell you. Zoom in your photo and to some details of mars with the bright sun reflection. And I had the hope, you can take more photos of planet mars, to compare the series of photos in the days after the opposition. --LudwigSebastianMicheler (talk) 01:23, 2 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks for clarifying that you were giving me a compliment. I'm surprised because the Mars portion of my photo was scarcely 40x40 pixels, hardly enough to see anything worthwhile. I'd never even considered pointing my camera only at Mars with maximum zoom. I'll have to try that next time Mars comes close to Earth. Ian Fieggen (talk) 23:27, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
