Due to family medical issues, Requiem is on indefinite hiatus.

An elderly family member of ours took a bad fall on Labor Day night, and we’ve been dealing with the aftermath ever since. Hopefully, things will get sorted out, but as of right now, doing a daily comic is not something my schedule can allow.

Sorry to have this happen, but as everyone knows, real life comes first….and at least we don’t have too many running storylines on the backburner.

Winter Soldiers, Part 6

Amena Caladharas

Amena Caladharas. Born 6519. Amena (which means “honest woman” in gaelic), is the daughter of Thorongil Caladharas. She was killed back during the first House War in the year 6547. She was 28 years old when she became pregnant with her only child Thorondor Ian Caladharas, and died due to injuries sustained in the Sombra Bombing when Ian was a month old.

    That makes both of you. The throne thinks it has a problem too. 🙂

    Ruh roh, it had multiple backups and planning in the event of being totally cut off from the Tower. Now its autonomous. James, if your going to be true to the old modem technology, it should start with Node 0 and go to Node 15, true hexadecimal. 00,01,02,03,04,05,06,07,08,09,0A,0B,0C,0D,0E,0F

      I’m not planning on it. If I did use the old hex, I would have had a bunch of people emailing me asking me what the heck it was…and then bitching up a storm if I got a single letter or number wrong. 🙁

      Besides, I didn’t use hex for it the first time it showed up…so I don’t get to change it now. 😉

      Nah, there were so many wild and whacky, mutually incompatible versions of the old AT command set (even only those I’ve seen myself), pretty much whatever you want can look realistic.

      The one rather unrealistic thing there – 57600 bps? That’s a bit low for the tech level we seem to be looking at. Modern Wifi easily gets a thousand times that, for example.

        I may have used it in a comic…but the old AT commands still give me headaches thinking about them.

        Bu yeah, the 57600, I’ve been waiting for someone to notice that.

    Low and slow, potential for many more channels, redundancy in case of signal degradation, etc. Working at a manufacturing plant I have hooked an ethernet network into some older CNC machines using a serial cable connection box and a local laptop. You use lower baud than this in that environment. 9600 7 n 1 was our standard, good strong connection.

      Back about 10 years ago now, I was working with a firm that manufactured 3 and 5 axis machining centers. That’s where I picked that up. We were running DRDOS on them, with netbui back then for networking. Our firm was just rolling out embedded XP machining centers when I was downsized a couple years later.
