Hi all

Hope your week is rolling along OK.

I've been working in the office for four days but will be working from home tomorrow. I hope to sneak a bit of BBSing time in as well as there's some admin stuff I need to get on top of.

The week's been pretty good have managed to push a few projects along at work and in the evenings have mostly been watching a bit of TV or some of the coverage with the pomp and pageantry of the death of Queen Elizabeth II in the UK.

I will likely be tired on Tuesday morning (my time) next week as I will stay up late to watch the state funeral.

I have a number of things on my BBS to-do list and feeling a bit overwhelmed as to where to start. But I will try to dip my toe in the pond a bit in the coming week and hopefully get some stuff across the line.

I did chat with Apam a few days back about Galactic Dynasty and discovered the version I have been running at 21:1/10 may have an error in it in terms of a data base file it creates... he's sent me a revised version for Windows which I'll install and also hatch out, really need to find the latest Linux version also and do the same.

I'm wondering if others may be impacted by this little niggle also as I think the files I have hatched out for the current GD installs in fsxNet may be the same ones I need to update for myself now. Humm..

Spring is in full swing here now, bulbs are up, trees have some blossom or flowers. We have this tree called a Kowhai which has a nice yellow flower that I really like. The one on our property had been poorly over the last year or so but we got an arborist in and he pruned the deadwood off it last year, so far this year it's doing much better which is good.

I've been looking at CB radios lately, kinda revisiting my youth and pondering getting some gear and setting up again, thing is much of the new gear I can buy here in New Zealand seems pretty naff.... it use to be you could get nice AM/SSB rigs but now it seems they are mostly AM only or UHF and SSB new gear is not available... nutty.

Hope you are going well.

Best, Paul
