Bianca, Oberon, Miranda and Titania


Well, the video conferencing seems to be going okay.

We're ahead of the curve around here and various space-age local groups are launching the Skype or Zoom instead of heading for the pub or the restaurant at the end of the Universe.

It put a couple of other minor stresses on the household LAN, but I've resolved that now. It was slightly strange to receive a message to my Apple watch from the coffee machine, along the lines that the coffee machine had dropped offline.

It could only mean one thing. That the home LAN had dropped out.

Now, I did see a couple of men digging the road yesterday, close to the front of the house, so I'm not sure, just maybe.

I did the thing that any good technician would do and switched everything off, counted to 30 and then progressively restarted everything.

Fortunately, it worked and we are back in business.

And I took a few extra minutes to get the garage's G-Bianca access point to sweep across the sunny garden, wirelessly uplinked from K-Titania.

(*Strictly the moons shown are Puck, Miranda, Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, and Oberon; Bianca is too small)
