Why? It's freezing. Let's go somewhere warm. What about Malta?

Hello!
First off, I do hope your kidding Sampsa, you're better off landing in
Israel regardless of one or two little details.
Not kidding. And not setting foot in Israel :)
Hello!
I've got a better idea. One of the channel islands. Or perhaps one of
the islands that's somewhere around the Scottish North Sea coast, also
known as the Hebrides.
That part of the Middle East is still unstable despite the current
government's claim. (I stress the word current.)

Uh no. Tickets on MEA from LHR go for about 300 GBP return, tho.

HUGE party in Beirut. I'll organise it - venue, hotels, everything.
You paying for everyone's transportation? ;)
Amazing food, booze and clubs. Oh and the women. Ya alllah, their women. So friendly, good looking, outnumber the men (7/10 people 18-35 in Lebanon are female - the men are all in the Gulf working). Oh 45%+ are Christian so you can chat them up, unlike most of the Middle East. In fact, they welcome it. Oh and no tourists, the Lebanese love foreigners crazy enough to visit.
Seriously, it\s heaven on earth and I'm moving there in February.
Sure their internet connectivity isn't great and state supplied electric grid is foobared (but every block has a generator guy, you get two electric bills, it's amazing, they turn 12 h / day from the state into 24 h / day with a few mins max downtime for the switch-over).

Next year we should organize some sort of event. :)
Any suggestions? (And I think we've already passed 10 years...)

Second Johnny are we really starting on our second decade with this
good idea of yours? It only seems like it went live about five or so
years ago. Perhaps less then that.

We can certainly provide the data - we keep the interface info and
everything, I just make a simple graph of it :)
I haven't thought the whole thing through yet. I don't know if that is
enough information to figure out what the exact segments are...
But you'll have to agree that a fully connected mesh is confusing to
look at,
when the reality is that it's a bus-type connection.
Johnny
True but it's hard with the bridges - if everyone used MULTINET point to
point connections, this would be a doddle :)
Still, it's better than nothing..

Another kind of graph that would be cool (but even harder) would be to have a map of the world, with the nodes placed out, and connections. That kind of map would work to have everything illustrated as point-to-point connections. But figuring out the physical locations is another story. (I guess the only way would be if people could put that kind of information in some file, in a format that would be machine parseable.)
If people put their geographical location in GPS cords on their INFO.TXT files, I don't see why this would be impossible
I have my general area in my INFO.TXT. Nothing /exact/ though. ;)
