Sgt Joe -- I love the photos!

A little humor -- it looks as if this last round of betas is going to bring me up to 179 days on beta testing.

Did perform great escape this morning and now safely sipping beer on my sweet home sweet

Summario,
I did not really take part to any liturgies. I did try but there was some architectural challenges. Soviet cube is not very good place to found monastery.
I enter little a late and notice that there was only one entrance to chapel, on very left behind corner.
Etiquette require that males are on very right hand side on floor and ladies on left hand side when looking to altar.
So literally I should would need to walk through chapel floor on sideways to get right place.
It was not that simple, on those liturgies priest will use hold floor as service area, he literally spray holy smoke to every person on floor and even to every wall on chapel.
And I'm six foot six, so I would get more attention that priest.
So did made quick decision to stay on very left hand side in middle of ladies, but soon notice that it was not that simple at all either.
I mean that when they bow down, they really do it very deeply on physical manners, some even on their knees.
So all the sudden there was half a dozen ladies in front of me showing their behinds
So I was not really able to stay on left hand side either, did leave on five minutes.

About theology.
It really has survive untouchable some thousand years.
Sure did joy these lessons as historical study, those were really more archaeologist than theological lectures to me.
Did take couple of lesson for newbies and my impression was that local form of orthodoxy is quite much as infantry on military.
First item that theologian did sharp up was that individual cannot exist them selves never ever. He did use local virtue "forest is my church" as example that cannot happen, individual can have religion only from form that church offers it.
There was polemic that orthodox monasteries has these one level of hermits and there fore they should be able to actually create some theology from themselves, but our teacher (monk) did shot this option down also saying that they are only hermits under some certain monastery rule-set and there fore has nothing to do with hermits like we understand on Catholicism or several another non-Christianity religions.
Another lecture teaching was omnipotence of physical liturgies.
Basically everything is given from church in form of physical liturgies and church will require continuous participation just to keep membership on church.
It was very beautifully analyze on quantitative measures and qualifier of sin is four week. If member has not been on communion on four weeks, then (s)he need to take confession about this separation before (s)he can join communion again.
It was really some time travel to year 1000.
If my room would no be on soviet cube, I sure would stay another day there on auditorium.

I think I finally got a handle on my connectivity problems with my range extender. The last week or so communication with it had become more and more erratic. I tried resetting it and resetting the router all to no avail. Finally I went back to square one with both the router and the range extender. I made sure they both had the latest firmware updates and re-initialized the range extender. I then checked to make sure all the settings were the same. Under the wireless setting on the range extender I had to set the radio band to "auto (20mhz or 40 mhz). I thought it defaulted to this but it had not, so I had to manually change it. Voila, acceptable reception again. I only get two bars for signal strength, so I am near the far end of the range, but so far so good. It will be nice to have my most productive machines back on line again and not intermittent.
Cheers

It's not looking good for orbit@home.

That's as recently as anyone else. I hope this is temporary, but the last time I saw this happen it was with UCT Malaria and they went under.
