Comment on Hong Kong birding by ben.keen

Ah I would have loved to have seen one. The difficulty of travelling is the unfamiliarity of the calls, so I very probably heard them – I just needed the visual sighting!

Speckled Piculets are now heard fairly regularly in more mature forests in Hong Kong, but due to their small size they can be tricky to track down in a bird wave. I was fortunate enough to get this bird coming low down for some photos. They are brilliant little birds and a very good addition to our Hong Kong forest!

Hi Ben, I’m just glad everything is OK ;)
Take the time you need, family first.
One day if I go to Canada I hope you have time to share a beer ;)

Cheers,

Just wanted to drop in and say thank you for Generatedata! I only discovered the website last week but I can already tell it’s going to be a tool I use regularly. I work in robotic process automation and we always need test data – lots of test data! :)

One need I recently had was to have random names generated then repeated across the result set. So create five random names then randomly repeat the usage of them across 100 rows of data.

Ben,

This web app is actually very cool. I subscribed immediately. It seems you have many of the formats covered. I love all the download options.

As far as feature requests, I guess I have two:

1) Be able to add a field that is additive from another field. For example, it you were doing pay stubs, and you wanted a random pay period. The beginning random date is no problem, but if the pay period is two weeks, then ending date needs to be two weeks from that first random date to make sense. Seems kind of esoteric but there are a lot of uses for this type of feature.

2) Having the ability to insert a random graphic, such as a person’s face would be handy. There are sites like unsplash.com that provide the public domain people for free.

Anyway, this app has been very useful to me. Thanks for putting the time in.
