Edited - above - just "The Ladle" will be fine!

yeah reading up on the slang use for the term "slope" its use is probably inadvisable to use it.

Nice work, ClymAngus. I'm sure that people will find all of these maps to be very helpful.

Most cool. An artistic temperment, but a job well done!

One thing ... should be "Beggar's Loop", not "Beggers Loop"! (or possibly "Beggars' Loop", if you want it to belong to more than one beggar.)

To each of us the bane and joy of being us. Yes, I can be a bit of an asshole. That said I'll never suffer from scaly leg or bumble foot.

beggers loop eh? There's always something ya miss. I'll crank up the red special and fix it. Still could have been worse, buggers loop. I wouldn't want to fly around that one too often.

OK I wonder if cafe press do posters.

OK I've just finished writing the read_me for the oomap_toolkit.
A zipped file (about 14.2 mb) containing all 8 original ai files, the systems template and the xml lists to instruct the template to generate the 256 systems of each galaxy sector. I should have that online by this evening should anybody with to have a play.

If there are any problems or issues or misspellings or screwed impossible routes then just post them here and I'll fix them. Should I fall under a bus tomorrow the tool kit gives you everything you need to fix it your selves.

Just remember after any untimely death my site will lapse after about 6 months so you might want a copy in deep storage some where, you know just in case. I know it's morbid, but as Tom Baker once said about pre-buying his own coffin and storing it in his garage: "Well you have to think about these things, don't you?"

I remember going Jongleurs just after John Pertwee died and one of the acts on the night noted: "You know, the actors who played Doctor Who are dying in order - Tom Baker must be sh!tting himself"....
