As you may know (if you live in the UK, it's been all over the news for days) there is a solar eclipse in UK / some of Europe today: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-31965456[^]

And I look outside...and it's thick fog... Sigh | :sigh:

Never mind, it has a couple of hours to burn off.
Last time we had a total eclipse in the UK (1999) Herself and I chucked a tent on the bike and buggered off to Cornwall for a week to see it. Had a great time, except for the eclipse itself: it poured down, thick - total - cloud cover and you couldn't "see" it at all. Still spectacular though.
This time, we're in the 90% track, so if the fog lifts...

Any of you in the 100% band? On board a north sea drilling platform perhaps?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Straw Poll

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
