Can't Find It: 'So You Want to Be a Physicist?' Thread

[franznietzsche]

Where is the 'So you want to be a physicist?' thread ? I can't find it for the life of me (as a side note, the search function is pretty bad).

 

[Moonbear]

Zz deleted it. I hope he saved a copy and will re-post it.

Hmm, yep not anywhere. And the link you get from google when you search for it gives you an invalid link.

edit...

Found it

Here is the link (it is a little less than half way down) : http://216.239.51.104/search?q=cach...e:physicsforums.com&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=20

Zz deleted it. I hope he saved a copy and will re-post it.

But why?

I found bits floating around the net over at a site called PhysicsPost

edit: Which links back to here under forums...huh.

The whole 'Undergrad Education' section is there

That's our sister site. Greg owns that one too. I'm glad it's preserved there!

Its not the whole thing though.

We have a sister site? I've been here for years now and never known this.

The whole thing is there, it is about half-way down. Look at the posts made at 1-31-2006

Bug Zz about it, see if you can persuade him to repost if he saved a complete copy. I really hope he did!

Oh, ok. Thanks. I'm going to grab that and archive it, since its just the google cache. I'm assuming of course that ZapperZ wouldn't object to that, even though he deleted the thread?

I think he'd be okay with that. You can always ask to be sure.

Did Zz delet the diseney thread too?

 

[Lisa!]

What's the matter? He's also deleted his journal...

We need to restore the Disney Thread. Who wants the Disney Thread back? That was the the one place I could go every day that would make me smile. GD isn't as cheery anymore.

I'm with you, Evo!

Well, we do have Jeff running around singing It's a Small World everywhere now. I always looked forward to the Disney updates. I want it back too!

Btw, those who'd like to get a copy of Zz's magnum opus can download the pdf from his Yahoo Group(undernetphysics). Of course, you need to join the group before you can do that.

Its a Stephen King book!

I was surprised! And Greg owns it too? See, this cannot be spoken of again, because we all thought we were special. As he says in his manual for hosting web forums, you must make every forum feel like they are his only one. It never occurred to me that physicsforums was not his only success! I mean he did have a bunch of failures that would follow us around as a little nav bar at the top of the page about two years ago..

I wonder what happened to Zz.
On the same day TKC died the Disney thread got locked. Which just happens to be on the same year that the date 6/6/6 is. This can't be good ...
