A hex on Catfish!

[Boco]

Um, would you believe Mele Kalikimaka, instead.

But if you're looking, Wobbegong, perhaps you could mention the fate of http://users.tpg.com.au/jpwbeest/jp_hex.htm ? I'm getting error msgs.

Eh? Oh, I see - had to look that up. I'm a bit late, but yeah, have a good one.

It be gone. That page was only meant to be temporary. Its table forms part of a larger one that spans the entire SAV file. What do you need to know?

 

[Boco]

Need to change some intermap movement capabilities for a unit, but I already figured it out the slow way. One of these days I'll write it down

 

[Catfish]

Well bugger that, I'll post the full table. Try the link again. Some of it needs checking, but I've been too lazy. It's served me well, anyway.

 

[Boco]

Thanks! If I catch anything I'll let you know, but unless it's chock full of errors, I'm likely to miss it. I suspect my inspection will be neither systematic nor rigorous.

Where's Mercator when you need him? He's good at finding goofs.

So how're the retirees-to-be doing?

 

[Catfish]

Well, if you've got anything to add, subtract or b1tch about, post it in this thread and I might see it.

What retirees-to-be?

 

[Mercator]

I'm still here. Don't ask me anything, though. I'm busy.
Try me again in a month when I will finally have my degree (though I probably won't be any less busy with all the other things that need taking care of then).

Oh, and Happy New year to both of you.

 

[Catfish]

Cheers, mate and good luck with the next stage of your life.

There's obviously a pantheon of these deities.

 

[Mercator]

Thanks

This is great news! Hope the thecal material flows well.

 

[Mercator]

If I knew what thecal material was I might be able to tell you whether it's flowing well. But thanks, I think.

 

[Catfish]

It's payback. He's trying to reduce our 'understands Boco's posts' percentage to 50. I'm already running at 2/4 in this thread.

I had an inkling about the retirees-to-be reference, but then I remembered he's an American and would have no knowledge of such things. These retirees appear to be doing fine:

 

[Boco]

Think of Thecal as a cross between Thesis and BS. My degree was clearly earned from such material, but I won't delineate the relative proportions.

And yes, AFAIK, much of the Aussie cricket team is reportedly retiring. Next to my office at work lives an expat from Adelaide. She hasn't yet come down from the clouds. Now she's trying to explain a 20 20 variant. Our veep from England, meanwhile, is hoping (vainly?) that with so many players retiring, the Aussie team may return to the realm of mortals.

One strangely quit early in the season and decided to become a hermit. The three pictured above retired in the final Ashes test and received a rousing send off after completing a 5-0 whitewash of England. Two crusty old farts remain. There are 11 in a cricket team.

BTW, the guy in the middle of the photo hasn't retired from all forms of cricket just yet. He's managed to stick around long enough to send England's star South African import home with a broken rib. The replacement is an Irishman.

It's a hit 'n' giggle variant devised by marketing men, complete with dance music, DJs and cheer girls. It's sure to be a hit.

Our veep from England, meanwhile, is hoping (vainly?) that with so many players retiring, the Aussie team may return to the realm of mortals.

Typical English mentality. Wait for the standard to drop.

A thousand pardons for going OT on this cricket (whatever that may be ???) thread.

I'm sure Boco will forgive you.

No problem.
