Very good read. I finished it last week and I found it most enjoyable. I would like to see the Moist/Spike relationship explored a bit more though as she's still very one dimensional; a rare omission by Pterry.

Did you know that he stole that from Baldrick and just changed one word!?!

I heard about that a while ago and was quite of disappointed it didn't seem to materialize...
But I bought a new PC recently and I like to buy a random gadget when I do...
And I then I saw that[^]!
Ho... You'll be glad to know the the power lines in my home are my new Ethernet, and it's working well!

Old news![^]. I have been using that at home for more than 7 years now.

Well, for some reason my WiFI router (which is supposed to be supper good) seems mm... whymisical?
I though I give a try to EoP! Happy about it!
Still have the wifi router for other devices!

So does it mean that if I plug into one your outdoor electrical sockets I am on your network?
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah I wonder if the network is open too!
I thought that maybe I got 2 device together and somehow they are linked (through encryption say) but you raise an interesting question!

What gets me is that he's still using electricity.
Man, that's so 20th century.

I worked for a comapany in the mid 80s that was trying to do this and they were close to having something ready but could never quite get it to work reliably.
As I grow older I've found that pleasing everyone is impossible but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

|

Too bad!
Well it's out now!
The 80ies hey? Very early! Could have struck gold!

Sorry hadn't had my coffee yet they were trying to do communications over power not internet. God I got to do something about pre-caffine posts.

Pricy!
Actually I've just bought two WIFI repeaters to add to my Ethernet over power at home. It's pretty cool, just use the same SSID, password, encryption method and a different channel for each. 5 bars of wifi everywhere now, and my laptop/phone switch seamlessly as you move around.

The only problem is that of stability. I've had to turn off and on again twice this week.

My CCTV system that I put in heavily uses POE. The switches I have can supply both 24V and 48V POE.
The cameras use 48V and the Point To Point Wireless heads use the 24v. Save's a lot of extra hassle with PSU's etc.

Also, with things like Arduino and RasPi, you can put power out to them where you don't have hand sockets for a USB power supply.
Now, EOP, thats a different matter, no I haven't tried it, but did consider it for the project above. The problem I had was that I have two phases in the house and don't think the EOP can go between them, or if there is it is very expensive (haven't looked though), and the only way I could think of at the time was to wireless link, so just stick to wireless instead.
My FIL uses EOP in his house and it works fine for his needs, fine that is until the wall adapter crapped itself, but fortunately he had a spare compatible one in a drawer to save the day.

These were on sale years ago, but not much use unless you have fast broadband coming in.
