When one needs a catnap, where better than a nice warm keyboard. If it happens to stop your pet human working - result!

Currently playing chez Cody:

Some like it hot! I used to live in Córdoba, where it regularly tops 40º in the summer - lovely!

<sniggers>

<grins> Yeah, I'm of the 'jump in the cockpit, and hit launch' school. There's the universe, there's your ship... off you go! - as someone once said.
Mind you, Oolite does now ship with a tutorial (optional), for those that get off that way - and an 'easy start' option. <guffaws>

<nods> Yep - download it from here . It's a self-contained package - should work straight out of the box. The above pic is from an experimental build, btw - it ain't quite as shiny in the release build. Yet! And beware: most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you...

Ahh, yes... deck class. I remember travelling from Karachi to Bombay in deck class... beautiful!

Earthworm-looking? There must be some strange critters down your way, Duke!

They are awesome and prevent me from getting migraine after 5+ hours in a bus / plane / car.

What about trains? They don't work on trains? You don't like trains?

I only hope it can be maintained after launch.

Most things are better after lunch!

Ten internet points? Just the ticket!

Rules around e-cigarettes should be relaxed so they can be more widely used and accepted in society, says a report by MPs.

Cobblers!
