A lull in the Oceanus Germanicus -- and on Click Opera

[imomus]

There will probably be a hiatus on Click Opera now for a few days; from later today until Tuesday 17th I'm voyaging with my mother across what this 1654 map calls the Oceanus Germanicus to the isles of Orkney and Shetland.



That doesn't mean there'll be no entries here, though; I'm sure I'll be able to find some open wifi in these far-flung Scottish islands and give you a culture shock-filled update or two. Well, sure-ish. Do they have wifi in 1654?

Surely they had wifi in 1654. I hope.

No, these were the dark days of dial-up, when the scream of modems could be heard emanating from the Office of the Inquisition.

Oh dear. The sound of dial-up used to haunt my nightmares with it's familiar screeching and humming. I wouldn't dare travel to 1654.

Safe journey to you momus, and momus's mom. We will be here, anxiously awaiting your return.

Have a pleasant journey to the Orcades and a safe return to Germania.

Can you get an update on Shetland whisky

The same distillery does vodka, but it's disappeared lately.

Apparently it's a big problem, though one they're tryig to fix, with some success, to the extent that some far flung districts now get a faster speed than those of us who live in urban areas now. www.broadbandforscotland.co.uk

I have unironically grown to love this song in the last few days and am now willing to seek medical treatment for this problem.
