Our entire office is working from home indefinitely, so I'm still spending the usual amount of time working. Lots of music and movies with my wife in the evenings. We're fortunate that we can stay holed up for a month if we need to with no significant income worries.

No AE game going for me at the moment since my game with Mike Solli was put on hold last summer.

I was wondering what happened to him and his AAR.

The Japanese government kidnapped him and made him figure out their economy so they can get it going again...

Turn it over and reuse it.

What if it's a Mobius Strip?

Then you'll never run out. Don't let that out, my toilet paper stocks will all crash.

You'll be well cushioned against the crash.

Just camped in the backyard with my boys for a raging Sat night in.
Now doing some yard work / playing in the Autumn sunshine.
They think “this is the best weekend ever”.

If you are staying home, what are you doing right now?

I've been working from home (mandatory) since Tuesday. So with less travelling time to work, and now the closure of many retail units and eateries, I have a little more time to get my Naval War thread back underway. Please see attached link for anyone interested in the naval war generally:

Not sure why that came out upside down! I'm not in Australia.

I thought you were showing off!

Well....

What am I doing during quarantine...


Being pissed off.
Working remotely.
Trying to find creative ways to go back to Liberia from Prague.
Getting drunk. Very drunk.
Having sex with my girlfriend.
Playing a lot of chess with my girlfriend.
Playing MANY turns in WITPAE.
Reading "heavy" classic books and/or re-reading them.
Cursing the whole world for the impossibility of finding the e-pub of the book I want to read.
Looking for a new job with literally 0% of probability of success.


Sometimes, several of these things at the same time.

Yes I am, showing off my shortcomings on how to operate a computer. How am I doing Ian?

Here in France we have a national lockdown - schools, universities and all nonessential public places are closed, people are supposed to stay home unless they have a job they cannot perform from home, must go shopping for food, or visit a doctor.

Of course, the French are not noted for their discipline and obedience towards their government, so now there are heavy fines for recidivists and probably genuine curfews on the horizon.

I'm doing home office from 9am to 6pm - the SLAs don't care about the outbreak.

But I gain three hours per day NOT spend in transportation to/from the company office, so that is something.

So in the spare time, I put the finishing touches in Bottlenecks V1.3.

HAL : I am putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do.

I'm still working, while you all get to flip turns. This world isn't fair.[:D]

Well I'm impressed Geoff, as I didn't know you were an entity!!!! Let alone conscious one... I'm just a collection of ones and zeros....

Well if you really want to know, I'm just finishing up rebuilding a 1913 White treadle sewing machine and its cabinet.

LOL looks like a awesome hobby but upside down was difficult!

I expect you got that that was a quote from HAL9000.

Well it is difficult to varnish on one's head.
