Just for fun, thought it might be nice to play MC from altitude....

I'll be online during two flights, from Sydney to Abu Dhabi, UAE on the 5th of May and From Abu Dhabi to Athens, Greece on the 6th May. I'll be checking in on the server via sat connection to say hi to everyone from the skies!

I will be on a sunny island in the beautiful blue Mediterranean with my brother and his family for a couple of weeks, ill check in occasionally, between the music playing and the Raki drinking :)

See you then guys!

Thanks RMC :)

I should be online about midnight AEST for a short while, then about 8 hours (sleep) later from out over the ocean. That will be the long, boring bit. Ill try to post map screenshots, if it works.

I'm back in Aus, as of last night. The trip was 32 hours travel each way (including trains/driving/flights ect)

Trip was Newcastle/sydney/aubu dhabi/athens/crete and back.

I used a sat connection on the flight to get on minechat. There was no way on earth I could get enough bandwidth to join the server with the client. Ping to rolyd (or anywhere else) was over 250ms at best.

I joined first from 39,000 feet over the Indian Ocean, at a speed of almost 1,000 kmh, so I claim the record for the fastest (and highest) rolyd user :)

See you all online soon:

I had a Great time RMC, it was the first time my bro and I had seen each other for 23 years.... many beers, much guitar playing, swapping stories, laughing till we cried. All in a paradise with constant sunshine, beautiful beaches,mountains and cheap beer and baccy ($58 for baccy here - $3 there!)

One of the best times of my life!

I'm out playing with Bri when we get over there, album coming, ill post photos...

And there will be space for rolyd visitors, who a) like music, b) drink and/or smoke and c) love a great party!

Ill go back in a few weeks....
