oh.

How fatherhood treating you?

Good thanks, my son is 3 now and just been diagnosed with autism level 3 which I suppose is a good thing (means support) though who knows what this thriving kids program is going to be like.

Hows things with you? still playing with videotex?

Howdy,

How fatherhood treating you?

Good thanks, my son is 3 now and just been diagnosed with autism level 3 which I suppose is a good thing (means support) though who knows what this thriving kids program is going to be like.

Oh, good news on the support front. Probably good news to have an understanding of who he is? A good friend of mine (now that I think about it havent seen her in a while), did her PhD thesis based on autistic children and pretty much has worked her whole working career in the field (she's probably mid 30s).

Sadly, something I dont know much about - but hope the support helps.

Hows things with you? still playing with videotex?

Yes and no. I've not worked on videotex recently, but its still in the back of my mind to build out more. (Same to for clrghouz.) I'd be inspired by other users who have the same interest - and I occassionaly find a group who are, but then they go AWOL...

I started maintaing an OSS project 20+ years ago, and have neglected it for the past 15 years or so (married, kids, work, etc), so I've spent the last 6 months updating it - especially since web software approaches have changed a lot over that time.

Now that I've done that, I'm probably going to work a bit more on clrghouz. There are a few things that are bugging me that I want to enhance (my binkd implementation for one), so I'll probably chip away at that for a bit.

Have you been doing any programming recently?

I think so, we're seeing a speech therapist and an OT, we've been on NDIS which covers all that, we couldn't afford it without it, so yeah support definitley helps :)

Yeah, it can be very hard to maintain interest in something when no one else is interested that you can share it with.

Cool!

Yes sort of, a lot of scripting in second life. Not much else, a couple of times i've come close to chipping away at my OS.. but haven't done a lot with that either lately.

That's not Synchronet as a whole. It depends on what message editor you're using.

Yes, I think I compiled it for mac before - but probably didn't make it available.

Yeah, he's 3 now :) Not really done anything with BBS projects, kind of tired of it all really - at least the public projects thing. I missed some of the people here.

I got envy up and running again, but not in a public repo, and possibly not what i had before - as i nuked my github account without saving anything (just got older backups.)

Anyway, hope you're doing well, 20 for beers still going strong? :)

Yeah, I think he's referring to fseditor.js. The built-in (line) editor in Synchronet doesn't save and exit on Ctrl-Z.

Nice - but OMG... the github situation sucks! Jeebus.

Thanks - I'm doing OK... moving through summer, like the rest of us. I'm blessed w/ 2oFB and yea, its still a thing... somehow, or another; I'll take it!

Cheers APAM!

Well, after posting to you I did actually find some more tarballs in my Backup folder that had uptodate things I was most concerned about. So pretty much got everything I cared about back!
