Hello!
I looked at it early on. However I have one honking big problem. It
supports Windows(!) Seven 64Bit. Okay I have that here. It supports
Linux 64 bit, I do not have that here. That is the big problem.
I do not expect to have a 64 bit machine who could run Linux on it any
time soon.
What kind of strange machine will run Win64 but not 64-bit Linux?
How about running a 64 bit Linux in a VM on the Windows box?

Incidentally what is with that wayward Yeti? He's supposed to be
watching any of three other people.

Hello!
Not as yet. I've been trying out as a thought experiment several
ideas. So far they all ended up getting lost in Colossal Cave. (Yes
the same one from the original Adventure game.) Which means sadly I
won't be able to get anything to work for a while.
I can safely state however that the source code for your second
version builds properly on Slackware 13.37 (X86) Linux which is what I
run. As it happens -14.0 has come out from them, and it is also
available for both ARM (all known devices including R.PI) and X86
ones.
Upgrading to a new release in Linux is almost an issue for me.....

Guys,
Running a Tetris competition on CHIMPY this week, login as TETRIS and have a go.
Results will be posted next Thursday.

credits at the same time you're buying other stuff?
Nope, I got it wrong. I've since had it all explained to me. The power company charges (no pun etc) the landlord for the electricity, and we buy the cards from the lardlord to pay the bill. This may well backfire on me, as I'm the biggest power consumer in the combined properties.
Incidentally gas meters here were once paid for their allowing the
customer to buy the stuff from the vendor by sticking a coin in the
slot on it.
Our gas meter (well, their gas meter) is coin operated.
And before you ask, no we don't have an outside toilet!
If you want know more Tony about the other examples I cited Tony
regarding the R.PI and Linux and what else can happen please contact
me off list as the discussion is running off topic.
Yeah I was actuall having a long think about that. I'll get back to you.
Tony.

Basically I live in a flat built on to the back of a house. We were sharing
the electricity supply. Now its been changed so that we each have a
sub-meter and get charged independently. The change didn't go well.
The card meters take plastic cards that you load with credit at the local
shops.
Yes I live in the UK.

Hi,
My two machines (tardis and sidrat) are going to be down for a while due
to a series of power problems knackering the PSU on the machine I use to run
the bridge software.
Basically, my inept landlord decided to rewire our card meter live and
caused the power to cycle repeatedly for about 2 minutes. The PSU in the old
dell box couldn't handle that abuse.
As the Raspberries (which run the VAXen) were powered from that machine
via usb, I'm now awaiting a crate of wall-warts to power them back up.
I don't think it'll affect anyone, as I doubt anyone was using my
simulated machines, but i'm just letting you know.

Hello!
There was talk of trying that step here, at the same time the governor
at the time deregulated the power delivery methods in the area where I
live. (US:NY) It fell over with 32 legs in the air dead as a do-do.
That because for NYC and Westchester County the provider Con Ed is
actually way cheaper then the others, and uses spinning meters that
were the selected design about the time Edison passed. As for the rest
of the country, I'm not sure. But those meters are standardized all
over the country. Possibly Canada as well.
For some silly reason the companies in the UK chose what Tony is
grudging about, and yes you are right friend about working on the live
ends coming from the power mount on the pole and inbetween the meter
and the breaker box.
