I would probably make the blue background a bit darker so that the green stands out better, but otherwise I have to agree with a_c: looks very nice.

While I agree that the underlying condition is very sad, I also think the laser video -is- funny. Should've included a link to the original to highlight the condition though.

Seems to be pretty poorly supported nowadays. I remember being quite excited when the first couple of VRML demo sites sprang up. In general I like the idea of being able to preview 3D without large downloads/install. Could be pretty nifty to embed 3D objects into the Wiki. If you're going to start s...

They have room on the 25th. Do we want to book a proper christmas menu and whatnot, or just a couple of pints and whatever they have on the menu? The XMas menu is either a small buffet (£7-£9 depending on how many items), 2 courses for £16pp or 3 courses for £19pp. The menu starts from sides at £2.5...

I quite liked a game called " Space Rogue " on the Amiga. Was 3d spaceflight within a system or sector, a 2d map for the long-distance stuff, and an isometric top-down adventure thing once docked or landed. A more modern series which has some nice touches is the X series, although I find t...

It's the Boa Clipper for me. With speed and maneouvreability similar to the Cobra Mk3, Eight energy banks and all options available, and 150 TC cargo capacity, it really is all things to all men/yellow furry lobsters etc. It fits my lifestyle as a Trader/Bounty Hunter perfectly. No plans to change ...

But where is the Coach & Horses? It's on the corner of Great Marlborough Street/Noel Street and Poland Street in Soho. http://barblog.co.uk/london/soho-and-leicester-square/the-coach-and-horses-poland-street-london/ EDIT: Oops - that particular site shines a rather less than stellar light on th...

Works for me. :)

And if anybody wants to meet up beforehand, you know, just to sample the location, let me know. *g*

That's 2 weeks away!! :( What about an '8 weeks to christmas' weekly thing, starting tomorrow night? ;) J/J. Seriously though - as far as I can tell, both of those weeks are fine according to my calendars, so I'll run with the majority. As for seats, once we decide on a date & venue, we should b...

My vote is Central London for 'where'. Specifically, Wells St is 5 mins walk from my workplace so would get a big thumbs up :) 'When' I am flexible, mostly. During the week gets my preference, any day except Tuesdays are usually good. Timewise if during the week, anytime after 1800 works, although I...

I was meaning more along the lines Switeck was too - the shuttles would dock at both the station and the large ship. I can't really imagine standard cargo transfer happening through space. The reason pirates do it that way is, supposedly, because blowing up a ship is safer than trying to board and s...

Behemoths have to dock somewhere or they get lonely too! :P I think in the original novella/manual it was hinted at that larger ships use smaller ships (such as Worms) to load/unload. Should be scriptable (for atmosphere, not to support huge player-ships) - large ship enters station Aegis and enter...
