Waiting for graphics can be very boring So in the meantime Smila has suggested we do Scarabaeus.
Does mean I can dip my toe into 3D again. Although this was going to be a quick remake it has meant I have had to learn to use a 3rd party graphics solution. I’ve wanted to use Irrlicht since CHOLO...

Ovine.net has been down for over 24 hours but is finally back up. This not only effected the HTTP but also the FTP access that we have. This meant that the outage was nothing todo with our website and more that the IP address of our shared server was not accessible to the outside world.
