Uh...Paul?

You know, there could be a crafting skill for repairing clothing in T2K...

Definitely. By extension, skills could also be made for weaving and dying the cloth. Of course, I don't see a lot of PCs having these skills, unless we're talking about a civilian recruited into the unit during game play. But definitely the sewing skill could come in handy. I'd imagine surgeons would have some kind of related skill for suturing.
However, a person not trained in sewing should be able to use a needle and thread to attach two pieces of cloth, but don't expect it to look pretty.

OK now I'm finding the the sewing site, from both google and the links here

I know from experience that the ability to sew uniforms gives you a net gain in trade items and favors done.

So females should get sewing and cooking as default skills

[NanbanJim]

I was getting the sewing site too, today.
Then I checked and sure enough, I'd forgotten to change my DNS from my ISP's to OpenDNS.org.

Guide is here: https://support.opendns.com/entries/38001040-Windows-7

If you're not using Win7, here's a jump-off point for tutorials: https://www.opendns.com/setupguide/url=familyshield

I've been using OpenDNS for years. They tend to not screw around.

Still getting the sewing site...wonder what the throwing range and damage for a knitting needle is

[Tnchi2a]

yeah its working again

So females should get sewing and cooking as default skills

wow just wow

[Tnchi2a]

just throwing it out there but has anyone thought of doing warship stats

[Legbreaker]

wow just wow

Dazzled by my brilliant joke aren't you
Oh, you know you were all thinking it!

Seriously though, I'd think all PCs would have at least basic knowledge in those areas. Not many tailors, dressmakers, or fast food chains left by 2000...
If you can't maintain your gear, or prepare something vaguely edible, you're going to suffer for it.

[Rockwolf66]

Oh fluff me ridged. While I can get Paul's main page for all the links I am getting a "Not found on this server" message.

Loon, croon, doon, spoon... (How's that for an obscure reference)

"But why a spoon"

"Because it hurts more!"

Is it possible that we have overlooked a new WMD

The four potential DNS servers now all show the correct IP address and the DNS population tests also show correct pointers.

My guess would be that almost everyone should be able to see the site now (possibly after restarting your browser). It could take 48 hours for stragglers but I am hoping the worst is over.

[Raellus]

Finally!

It's working for me again.

This whole episode had illustrated just how important and valuable Paul's work is to the T2K community. As they say, you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone.

[Draq]

It is indeed fixed. Luckily I had a fairly up-to-date catalog downloaded.
