waste

WASTE is a peer-to-peer and friend-to-friend protocol and software application developed by Justin Frankel at Nullsoft in 2003 that features instant messaging, chat rooms, and file browsing/sharing capabilities. The name WASTE is a reference to Thomas Pynchon's novel The Crying of Lot 49. In the novel, W.A.S.T.E. is (among other things) an underground postal service.
In 2003, less than 24 hours after its release, WASTE was removed from distribution by AOL, Nullsoft's parent company. The original page was replaced with a statement claiming that the posting of the software was unauthorized and that no lawful rights to it were held by anyone who had downloaded it, in spite of the original claim that the software was released under the terms of the GNU General Public License.
Several developers have modified and upgraded the WASTE client and protocol. The SourceForge edition is considered by many to be the official development branch, but there are several forks.

    50mm Waste pipe hole size

    What hole size would you recommend drilling for 50mm waste pipe that needs to go through a joist? Joist is 200 deep so a 55mm hole is already a bit over the recommended size for that joist.

    Waste water pump

    Hi can anyone recommend a good waste water pump. For clean water so won't need a macerator bit. It's for a waste run that now has 6 meters pipe with a fall of 20mm. So well out of limits for the required fall. Has been tested yet but I don't think will work without a pump.
