Right I'm setting myself a little challenge here. To have the 8 maps done (when I mean done I mean routes and systems) by Ian Bells birthday of November 1st

I might wipe off the OOLITE reference but the board is sending "one of the Daddys" a present he won't soon forget! If people really get scared I can remail. But looking on the dudes site he's the cool one. :)

Tomorrow I go on vacation to Scotland. After my holiday I will probably start on my next project: Famous Planets 3 (Galaxy 2 edition)

I will follow the routes of the excellent Galaxy 2 map. This will be a huge but fun undertaking. 8)

Don't fall in Loch Ness with your iPhone and camera in your pockets (as I did last month).

Don't fall in Loch Ness without your iPhone and camera either.

So now the monster can photograph the tourists, too! That's new. Will, as a result, the other plesiosaurs start believing now that humans actually exist?

PS: Have a nice holiday, P.A.Groove! :D

The newest iphone, the 3gs, is actually waterproof...
I shot him back first. That is to say, I read his mind and fired before he would have fired on me. No, sir, he wasn't a fugitive.

While some people have dropped it in water without destroying it, “waterproof” is not in its specs, so if you break your phone trying to verify this they won’t give you a new one.

i wouldn't do it, but my friend's uncle did..
And, of course, if you break it, you pay the full replacement cost - not the subsidized initial cost. Without a contract, the iPhone is around $600 to replace - although I hear an unlocked phone in Europe can approach 1000 us, yes?

I'd say, if you absolutely have to fall in Loch Ness, make sure that you do have a (waterproof) camera in your pocket. I mean, imagine you meet the monster underwater, and cannot prove it... :shock: :wink:

Depends where in Europe you buy your iPhone - some European countries have no time for Apple's anti-competitive nonsense and don't allow the selling of locked phones. If I remember correctly one of my colleagues bought an unlocked one in Italy while on a business trip for a "sensible" price and it was unlocked.

Can anybody from NZ confirm that you're not allowed to sell locked iphones there either (wasn't it also true that you couldn't sell region encoded DVD players in NZ as well?) because you guys have pretty good anti-competition laws.

As we drift off-topic here, it might be worth keeping an eye out for a phone-spammer invasion: the last time iPhones were mentioned there seemed to be a rash of them.

Meanwhile, could it be that our Master and Commander was caught on satellite?
