  • No further details of today's session yet so if it happens it will be shorter notice than usual. I'd suggest getting ready and setting a reminder to check back here at lunchtime as the Octopus notifications are a bit patchy through some channels.

    Wonder if it might be for a session tomorrow morning, as we haven't had one of those yet.

    No, the ESO DFS industry notification says 8 February.

    It's not unusual for the service requirement to be published shortly after midday for an evening session - a couple of the December sessions were like that IIRC.
  • There is a session this evening from 18:00 to 19:00 and suppliers are invited to bid. We should find out which suppliers have been accepted in about an hour.

    6 till 7 tonight. Just been announced.
  • Octopus bid has been accepted, but don't expect this to be a money spinner as their bid was half what it was for earlier test sessions. Next step is to see what they're offering to us and allowing us to opt in.

    I will opt in and shift regardless as it is free money, I just wish there was more of it!
