Yeah whats worse that can happen!

Thanks all for the input.

She has all these internal and external drives around and after years of not sorting it out I think I'm just going to step in as this latest crash is just annoying to listen to...

My wife is a photographer and has a nice side line in wedding photography.

With the death of her second pc in the last few years and a repeat of Operation "Why do you never back anything up properly, quick shove everything onto anything that has hard drive space" I'm getting bored of having the same conversations around storage.

She has 10 hard drives scattered around the house and probably needs about 5-6TB of storage to back up what she has from 6 years worth of weddings and then her own stuff too.

Needs to be simple, accessible anywhere and expandable.

Any good ideas, suggestions or alternatives?

Will discuss with Mr Toby tomorrow but he's got me mostly convinced atm

I did and there was nothing in it and this package is already sold!  

Did you mean to contact Oldbloke?  Oldie still has an Alpha access ship package for sale iirc?

oops that may be what happened... the two of you are easily confused for each other... erm...

Hiya,

Brother bought an OEM blu ray drive for his Windows 7 machine. Of course didn't think it won't have software for playing blu-ray discs...

Any recommendations on free software for playing them?

He's broke so free or off a lorry is best

No its got to be a minimum of 1,024 distance in overworld and 128 in underword - it's the 8 times distance factor.

If I set up portals inside the maze they will go to the same nether portal - that's fine. To take them somewhere else it will have to be 1,024 distance away overland.

I could set that up but then you'd need a safe transport to take them back the 1,024 to the maze start each death between start and first save point.

I'd send you my spreadsheet with the stuff on but it has all my secrets...

Aye but the overworld one will have to be 1,024 from the maze so that people can use the portal which means a long trip. It's fine I was trying to save you guys rescuing people.

That would mean 1,024 blocks distance minimum between safe zone and the maze.

That means every time someone dies at the start they have to run that far with no items. Won't someone think of the children!

I've had a dream...

Which means I'm back playing Minecraft cos it's always the new obsessions that drives me. Although I still haven't finished that climbing wall...

It'll be the normal stupidly big, stupidly dangerous, stupidly difficult death game affair. Looking at the blue prints so far it'll be about 12 levels of torture with a about 3,000 blocks a level.

Now thinking ahead, I don't want the kids to end up trapped for 3 hours, so was thinking. I'll obviously have a safe room at the start and probably one every three levels or so. The problem is that once saved you are then trapped n the middle. Is it possible that if I mark some blocks in each safe room as exit, an admin can set them as teleports back to the safe room outside? It's a simple easy thing to do and works very well. This means at worst if the kids need to leave the maze they can die, respawn in the last safe point and then teleport out.

Thoughts?

I bookedededed a room Thur - Sun.

Apparently they only have 2 rooms left...

Due to unpopular demand I will be making a special guest appearance for the LAN book me in for the duration.

And a table far away from Ghosty...

Cheers

Try down the back of the sofa...
