    From Avon@21:1/101 to All on Mon Sep 23 11:04:55 2024
    Hi all

    Hope this finds you going well and the day's treating you kindly.

    I've had my youngest son and his partner visiting us the last few days which has been nice, but it's been a busy time on the home front and at work our team is relocating to a new office across the street this week as the floor we're on is in a building that's slowly being renovated floor by floor... and now it's our turn. We expect to be out of our original office space for about 6-9 months give or take.

    A quick note that I may not be overly responsive for the next 7-10 days as I'll be on the road and traveling quite a bit. So apologies in advance.

    Spring has arrived here in New Zealand and I think daylight savings starts this coming Sunday here so we'll jump forward one hour.

    Plenty of blossoms on the tress etc.. daffodils are up etc.

    Thanks (as always) for taking part in / making use of fsxNet.

    My thanks to to Todd, Deon and Ruben for keeping NETs 2,3,5 respectively chugging along.

    I plan to do some more NET 4 and NET 1 tidying up of inactive nodes in the coming weeks, did some for NET 4 recently which was well overdue.

    Best, Paul

    Autumn is coming here. It is my favorite season, although I do miss the daffs and other flowers of Spring.

    good, I hope the rest of the day went OK too.

    Helping family downsize their house, it's not exactly a fun trip but it's another necessary one... the joys ..

    Yep I like all the seasons, our garden is best suited to spring but autumn leaves are always magic.

    Hey Avon

    Best time of the year with the daylight saving kicking in - same for us this coming Sunday - I really love this time on the year - nothing worse than finishing work and walking outside to cold, wet, black evening and its not
    even dinner time yet :( so yes, we make use of DST here as much as we can in this family...

    Good luck with the office move!

    Dave!

    I wish the US still went back to standard time this time of year. Years ago, we were on daylight saving time from April to October, but then they expanded it so that it's March to November. I don't remember why.. Actually I wouldn't mind if they just stopped adjusting the clocks altogether and had us stay on standard time.

    Rayzer,
    Looks like your system is echoing messages back to me, using my FSXnet
    address (21:1/175) instead of your own.

    What could that be? I don't have anything set up with your address? :/

    It looks good here now. It could be that another node on the network was experimenting with something that garbled, then burped up, some messages.

    Based on what I have quoted above, it looks like it isn't on your end.

    same here, I dislike the spring forward and falling back. What is the point?

    It went well I am now one week into the new space, it's only for 9-12 months then we move back to our old renovated space... but so far so good.
