@trinsec Ah! Blue's home board is on the right (not left) in this picture, and has to go around in an anticlockwise direction.

@trinsec Here the points are numbered 1 to 24, the home board is denoted by points 1 - 6.I will always post games here with home on the right, it seems to be the most popular orientation.It's actually good practice to swap around from time to time though. It confuses the hell out of me too. :ablobcatcry:

@mur2501 @freemo Interesting, what's the name of the plugin? I agree with @freemo, it's more likely to be the IP ownership of the provider. If you are lucky the provider might have allocated a specific IP range to a given data centre. I can't see how it would resolve that info when the server(s) are behind a proxy or using a VPN for that matter.

@freemo @mur2501 Indeed! That's what I was eluding to. One particular client I was responsible for in my last job insisted on having multiple servers and multiple load-balanced reverse proxies in different data centres for performance and resilience reasons.Thankfully I'm now retired and don't need to look after it anymore. :blobangel:

@lupyuen LOL, at last there a signs. Here in Bangkok it can be like doing an army assault course at times. Signage is few and far between. Motorbikes using the footpaths ... There is little regard for public safety.Visiting Singapore is always like returning to civilisation ... An absolute delight!:ablobgrin:

@thor That's my sentiment about so-called "smart" watches too. They really are quite useless, a bit of a fashion fad.I'd rather use a mechanical or electromechanical watch anyday! :ablobgrin:

@lupyuen This is brilliant. I might be able to repurpose my old Psion 5 for something I never thought of. Now, where did I store it?? :blobthinking:
