last remaining episode?
I have also implemented BBS denial and FREQ denial during
ZMH (but only for modem connections, not Internet
connections). And kicking out of users from the BBS when ZMH
starts (which sadly affects all connection types and has to
happen twice daily to cover non-DST and DST).

If you have to accomodate DST and non-DST, does that mean the
ZMH is actually TWO hours long?
Which makes me wonder -- is it even possible to deny incoming echomail transfers during (FidoNet) ZMH? As both netmails and echomails are messages indistinguishable from each other before inspecting their contents (I think)... Not that it affects fsxNet very much, though. :-)
It was designed that way in the 80's so mailers could get their stuff
done without users on the line. That was a whole different time and
place.

That's nice! I had a look at the connection stats earlier today and (thankfully) they seemed fine, i.e. no connection errors etc.
Have been working on my Mystic BBS events and poll/export scripts here,
so that polling for mail and exporting of echomail is not performed
during ZMH, but instead postponed to after ZMH (to be compliant with FidoNet's ZMH restrictions regarding echomail transfers). For the very unlikely case that such a poll or export would result in a modem call to an uplink bossnode, preventing someone else wanting to crash (net)mail from doing so. :-D

My wife and i watch the serie together. I like this much more then WandaVision which was not bad, but the ending was too fuzzy and fast. Looking forward how Falcon and the Winter Soldier will end. I LOVE SEMO! What a cool guy, just like Bucky was as Winter Soldier. Really a very
cool thing!

see them. I'm just catching up on echomail. It seems once I pulled the transportation echo this one has been full of cars talk :)
Been a long few days here. I'm still working from home but I think there may be movement towards asking us to come in a bit more in the coming weeks. My end of the country still has higher Covid rates than in other areas of New Zealand so I am not overly keen but if I must I'll go in but stick to wearing a mask for now.
My risk appetite is low as I have elderly parents I may need to visit / support again over the coming months as their health declines. There's few family near them so I am more at the front lines of care / response than others living further away than I, and that's fine.
At work our manager of 10 years abruptly left his role just before Easter. Our team found out one day before he left. We're now getting a new interim manager for 9 months who will develop new strategic directions for our team which may well lead to a restructure although no one is saying that yet. So understandably I and my fellow team members are all a bit nervous as to what is to come. Yet there's nothing I can really do so have to roll with the process and see where things end up.
Have been watching quite a few 80s movies on a free streaming service called Tubi which I have been enjoying. Some good, some not so good. After a day in front of the PC at home working I tend to want to get away from the same desk I would do BBSing at and opt for some tube :)
Figured I'd better post something to confirm I have not left with Elvis :)

Snap Pluto TV here too... was using it to watch some Star Trek for a
while as they were the only place I could find that were streaming the
new Discovery show outside the USA for a time.
Heard they've also started running the Stargate series on there.
Gah, just the thought of having to push that lawn mower... ah well :)
Best, Paul
I feel your pain! It's not been warm enough to have the lawn grow.
It's the leaves from the trees that have fallen that I've got to attack. We've had rain every 2/3 days that don't let them dry enough to mulch
up. I really will get to it, I promised my wife! :(

Hi all.
Well it's Sunday morning here, I'm adding in three new nodes today and responding to a few emails and netmails for help etc. Once done I need
to mow some lawns. My younger son is staying with us for a week before
he moves to a new city. It will be strange not to have him living
nearby. I hope his new move / job go well.
A reminder I'm going to start posting welcome and admin info over in FSX_NET now instead of here. I encourage you to sub to that echomail
area if you are not already linked to it.

Summer has just started here and we are having a heat wave ATM. 41C as I write this. Some crappy winter weather sounds good just about now.
Waving hi :)
Hi right back. I hope your weather will improve.. :)
We love you, Paul... :P
fsxNet is still fun, experimental and - wait... I dunno what it stands
for anymore. :P
Take the time you need, and we're here for updates and info when you
have it! w00t w00t!
Hi there! :)
Every FTN carnival needs a good juggler... things seem just fine. No worries life comes first - wife second, you last <G>
Hahah... this is about right... I think you know more stuff than I do
:)
Summer has just started here and we are having a heat wave ATM. 41C as I
write this. Some crappy winter weather sounds good just about now.
I see the reports of those hot temps, way too hot :) I hope it cools down a bit for you soon. Sorry too to learn of some fires in your country too :(
Thanks, perhaps by December it may feel like summer. Here I am short on firewood and eeking it out until payday to get some more in :)
This sounds like one of those chats you have in the lift with someone
that start out about us talking about the weather ;)
It has been very hot here, around 42C at the peak of the day. It was better today around 38C. Still warm but not so dangerous. Looking for a high of 33C tomorrow. That's much more seasonal.
There are a few fire burning here but quite far from me. Here's a
picture of Lytton BC, my old stomping ground. The town has been ravaged
by fire.. :(
http://trmb.ca/lytton.jpg
It always takes me by surprise when you use the words December and
summer in the same sentence.
I hope you can get a good stock of firewood for the winter.. :)
We have a high of 11 and last night the low was 3 and this morning I
have
frost on the lawn. It's another world eh? :)
well it's getting rather expensive but I think we will be OK. We need
to get
another few cubic meters in the coming week as the pile is looking a
bit low
at present.

Planning to read some books, get some nice food, fiddle a bit with mgetty+sendfax, and relax. :-D
Sounds good. I just got back from a whirlwind trip to San Diego to the Zoo, a Safari pack, watching 4th of July fireworks from the San Diego harbor, and now I have a moment to play catch-up with the BBS.
Tomorrow, we're having a shed built in our back yard; it's going to be a little reading retreat with a loveseat, ottoman, and some funky paint
and floor coverings.
