Aww damn.. just realised that here in Brisbane, Aust, the show goes live at oh-my-god (0600) in the morning Friday, just as I'm heading out the door to work, and ends about half an hour after I get to work.. thank goodness for the playlists.

Why do you all have to live on the wrong side of the planet?

Will you put us all up if we move?

...and do they do 'Watneys red barrel' in your local pub?

Thanks for the offer . I'll be bringing Mrs SandJ, too. Expect us by the end of the week. Do we need to bring anything, besides a slab of tinnies?

I hope you like cats as-well, I'm bringing two....very good ratters. Can I borrow your surf board?

I'll wait till the temperature in Norway again drops below zero (although it did snow on Saturday). Gives you some time to plan ahead. There are 5 of us, no pets.

Guess I walked into that one..

SandJ is welcome, as at least he appears to understand Aussie protocols..

I paid attention to Sir Les Patterson and Kevin "Bloody" Wilson taught me everything else I need to know.

Edit: I hadn't realised it is Kevin's final UK tour this year; I'll definitely be going to that.

I'm technically still Australian... still more than a year to go before I'm even a permanent-resident Pom, despite having been here eight years (long, boring story). I know the protocols but my witch drive is busted.

I'm technically still a Pom.. Been a permanent resident in Oz since '66, though.. and could not imagine calling any other place 'home'..

Holding up under the "weather" ok, I take it?

Spent no small part of the weekend in a tent on Salisbury Plain, getting rained on, now that you mention it.

Downside: not much skydiving. Upside: I brought this here laptop and got to play Oolite instead

Reasons XML file formats are awesome #57:

Dumping your save file to a terminal to look at it.

Then, cleaning out various bits and pieces, you make a slip of a shell substitution (beware !$ in the wrong terminal in a hurry) and delete it!

No, you don't have backups.

But, you do have copy and paste!

Disaster and dropping Oolite in despair (on the upside, I do have an almost unplayed install of Avadon: the Black Fortress kicking around) averted.

Hi Guys - I wondered if you can tell me if it is normal for a PM to stay in your outbox for approximately 2 hours.

I sent a PM earlier this afternoon and have just checked - it is still in the outbox !
