      Hmm, opto-isolators, eh? That's a little way (several light-years, geddit?) beyond my understanding! My system involves a rising platform, a castle, a strange assistant and an electrical storm ;-)

      Yep, PropNut has it. Ran about 30m of cat5 from the room with the router in it via the loft to the computer room. Nice to have a halfway decent connection again.

      I am fairly sure that Jabo drives a Morgan. But I'm surprised to learn that they make a van.

      @Tribunus - Morgan? I wish

      Hello GK, and no sadly it wasn't. Interesting that the tech will enable me to post into the forum from up a 14m pole - lol

  14. Pre-ordered CloD - Woot!

  15. is wondering why on earth he's opted for an outside job in the middle of winter...

      I don't think the legions had BT broadband in the Castra, or maybe the legatus needed his fix of internet. I wouldd rather have snow and cold than heat. Frostbite is quite unpleasant though.

      We have a saying here: "There's no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes." But in my language it rhymes though LOL.

      kimos right. have the right gear, its fine, ware 19th century wool and cotton, freeze to death. theres lots of decent modern fabrics out there which are awesome, my problem when working outside in winter is often being to hot, except for my hands.

  16. finally figured out how to install CODBO from the disk rather than a 6GB download. Bloody Steam ™

    1. B16Enk

      B16Enk

      installed it from Steam, didn't take too long ;-)

      Would be interested to know who else will be online in CODBO, a DD Clan perhaps?

  17. thanks everybody who showed up for the first airing of jabo.servegame.org. Guess I'll have to host occasionally now!

  18. Well done Jedi, is that the last one done?

  19. Still offically a 'thirtysomething'
