I'd like to meet up for electcodicanical hacking on Sunday. Saturday
would be way better for me, but if Sunday is all that's on offer, I'll
take Sunday :-)

Morning would be best, but I think you're asleep then?

When on Sunday works? I don't think I'll want to work all day, but a
2.5-6 hour chunk would be about right.

Mike?

(I have no idea about your cable.)

Cheers,

Leo
