![]() You can miss it the first time you read those pages.) When she is struck with the curse turning her into an old lady, her response is perfectly unexpected and perfectly in character and perfectly hilarious. (DWJ leaves it to us to figure this last part out. But when Sophie starts talking to hats you can see DWJ's brilliance at creating characters: maybe she's quiet and responsible, but Sophie is also observant and imaginative and funny, and she has power she knows nothing about. I related (and still do relate) so much to her: I'm an oldest child nothing exciting was ever going to happen to me I was the responsible one who wanted her sisters to go out and find their dreams. One of my all-time-favourite characters, literary girl-crushes, people-whose-head-I-want-to-spend-time-in. (No, it makes sense, really!) That scene has got to be the most mind-blowing bit of magic any magician has ever accomplished! And the movie does it quite well. Then DWJ isn't satisfied with all the levels of movement she's already got, so she moves the moving castle. And the castle's movement is both metaphysical-inhabiting several places at the same time-and literal: the castle actually moves around, which is ridiculous and incongruous and hilarious and also ties back to folktales like Baba Yaga, so there's something deep in our psyche that believes in moving castles. Because doors-thresholds-are inherently magical, so being able to open a door into one place and then open it again into another-it just makes sense on some fundamental level. ![]() And yet, somehow it resonates as something that really should exist. Like much of DWJ's magic, it's weird and complicated and there's no explanation of how it actually works. What a fantastically brilliant, endlessly interesting idea. (Illustrations (other than the one from the movie below) are taken from the finalists in the Folio Society's competition to illustrate their edition of Howl's Moving Castle. Aren't they all gorgeous?! (Bigger versions at the link.) The winner is Marie-Alice Harel, and I am putting her illustrated edition on my Christmas wishlist now!) ![]() I just reread the book and then rewatched the Miyazaki animated movie, and they both made me so happy I just had to sit down to analyze what is so wonderful about them. ![]() This is an important question, particularly during #MarchMagics #DWJMarch, when we celebrate all things Diana Wynne Jones (head to Kristen's blog on March 23 for the Howl's Moving Castle readalong). ![]()

We have every GTA 5 cheat code listed below, with input commands for Sony and Microsoft, as well as the stand cellphone input. Also, any directional commands are directed toward the D-pad, not the analog sticks. If you want to enter cheats using a string of buttons, try to execute the commands as quickly as possible. Cheats also reset once you close the game. No matter how you enter the cheat, any trophies or achievements you’d earn in-game are disabled while any cheats are active. The combinations are the same across PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One, but we’ve split up Xbox and PlayStation just to account for their different button-naming conventions. You can also classically input cheats by following a specific button combination. From there, enter the corresponding number, and the cheat will fire. You can open your cellphone by pressing Up on the D-pad. There are a few ways to enter a cheat code in GTA 5. The first and easiest is to use your cellphone.

![]() ![]() ![]() Sadly the logs for these units are hardly worth having as you can see in the screenshot below – over 20 hours after powering it on (and with Wifi failing) all that was logged was the initial startup event and even that didn’t have a timestamp After further investigation and some Googling I found plenty of people in a similar scenario ( here, here, here, and here) but with no acknowledgement or fix forthcoming from TP-Link. I’ve got a mixture of tablets (a couple of iPads, Nexus 7), smartphones, Sonos wireless speakers and the odd Google Chromecast and found that within a day or so they’d lose internet access. Still, I can stream HD without issue most of the time.Īll said I was very happy with my powerline setup, until I’d been running the integrated wireless AP for a few days and started noticing connectivity problems. I think TP-Link may be reporting ‘theoretical’ speeds achievable over my powerlines (using the PHY layer) whereas ‘real world’ transmission is impacted by many other factors. Even allowing for protocol overheads there’s a significant discrepancy. For example TP-Link reports 75Mbps when iPerf reports 25Mbps for the same link. UPDATE APRIL 2015 – I’ve now done some testing with iPerf and my speeds are lower than those reported by the TP-Link utility – often significantly. Speed is affected (my dropped to 60Mbps when crossing phases) but I’m really just using it for web browsing and streaming some video which seems to work fine. At first I thought this would prevent or greatly hinder my use of powerline networking but my powerline networking works just fine over multiple power phases (apparently a shared consumer unit is key). The bigger variable in my case was the fact I have a three phase power supply, rather than the more usual one. Plugging them in and getting them working took all of five minutes and voila – connectivity! The speeds weren’t great (around 80M bps on average, so 5-6M Bps on file transfers) but then my house was built in the 70s so it’s not especially modern and that does affect speeds. My local computer store had a couple of TP-Link units in stock ( WPA4220 Starter Kit) and I bought them on a whim. ![]() I’d used an early set of these (85Mbps) back in 2007 but standards have definitely advanced in this area and now we have 500Mbps adapters ( well sort of) so I thought it was worth revisiting the technology. I’ve recently moved house and didn’t want to go to the time and expense of wiring up my new house with CAT6 ethernet, so opted for some Powerline adapters instead. Summary: Powerline adaptors are better than they used to be but they aren’t without their problems. ![]() ![]() ![]() But the truth is that our problems didn't start just with Donald Trump, and we won't solve them by embracing old ideas.
