Keep up the good work Owen!

The repository definetly gets my vote!

Any news on this? I've been trying to get some new scenarios and dead links are beginning to drive me mad!

Hmm, not just now, and probably not for a while. Will see what I'm doing in the summer...

Yes, well, I agree it would be very nice.

Oh, it would indeed. Free time is something I'm lacking moreso than ever now though, so we'll have to see.

Summer will be soon enough, as long as it really does come.

Well, that would depend on whether I end up going to Brazil for some of the summer, or what sort of employment I get, and so on. It's all a bit up in the air at the moment.

Flying down to Rio, eh?

Actually, just booked my flight yesterday. And the itenary is:

(by train or tube)

Leuchars
Haymarket
Carlisle
London Euston
London Victoria
Gatwick Airport

(by plane)

Faro, Portugal
Lisbon, Portugal
Recife, Brazil

(My dad lives not far from João Pessoa, which is at the easternmost point of the Americas).

Returning, I fly to Lisbon, then to Frankfurt, and back to London Heathrow, this time. Can then get the bus to Watford Junction, and a sleeper train back up to Leuchars. Get back there at 5.46am, fun!

I'm looking forward to it! Heading there for a month from early July to early August.

Well, have fun!

You'll want the Victoria Line between Euston and Victoria, oh and get an Oyster card for the cheapest single fares.

Well, I'm guessing they'll be included in my train booking. But I'm not entirely sure, TheTrainLine.com wasn't too clear.

Oh, and can you MSN me sometime soon please? I sent you a message earlier and I got no response...

Hmm, I'm feeling inspired... I may well have another crack at doing something with this site during the Christmas holidays. (Especially having just removed 32,000 spam comments from the present Repository dating from October 2006 - yes, that many comments in 2 months). We'll see.

That would be great! I've never much gone for savegames and scenarios, because it's too hard to find good ones (other than Jim Powers' of course.) Having a good index giving a lot of information about the game, would be tremendously helpful.

I may well be interested in helping out, depending on if I mange to catch hold of your inspiration.

Planning on including any Python code?

Python... no. The site is written in PHP4... I may take advantage of some PHP5 features now that my servers are using it (it's been that long since I worked on the Repository!). We'll see what happens anyway, hopefully I'll still feel inspired in a week's time.

You'll all no doubt be pleased to know that I've begun work on this again, as of last night. And who knows, this time, I may actually get it finished. It's looking good so far, anyway!

And I am to be held responsible for this sudden increase in productivity!

I'd help, but orudge doesn't want me to

Indeed, it was you who inspired me to dig up the old code and do something with it. And no, it's not that I don't want you to help as such, tis more just that it's my own "project" somewhat, and I work better by myself on this, I think.

Hi Owen,

Few weeks old now but good to see you working on it again, when finished I have a few games in OpenTTD i'll be happy to send through to you...
