   Hey Andrew!

   Ouch.  I don't envy you any, especially the surgery part.  As for programming,   
   I swore off of GUI progamming after writing a printer driver for Win-3.1 way   
   back in the day.  I've lived up to that oath ever since which makes it about   
   30-ish years.   
      
    AA> so I may just quit for now, clear my head and make sure I'm   
    AA> caught up on sleep and pain management before the surgery.   
      
   Sounds like a plan.  Everything will keep in the meantime I am sure.   
      
    AA> https://remove-to-waste.info/   
      
   Consider it bookmarked.  :-)   
      
    AA> Also I took over as maintainer of the abandoned modemu project   
      
   That sounds familiar.  If I am not mistaken I first heard about it back in   
   1995-ish perhaps a year or two later.  I last had a working modem (external)   
   around then so something like that would have gotten my attention.   
      
    AA> https://github.com/theimpossibleastronaut/modemu2k   
      
   Also bookmarked.  I'll check it out later as you've got my curiousity   
   aroused.  I am not sure at this stage of the game I'd be keen to use a modem   
   emulator on minicom.  The last time I played with minicom was to output raw   
   GPS sentences from a usb GPS reciever about 15-ish years ago.  I still have   
   the reciever but last time I played with it was with gpsd.   
      
   Life is good,   
   Maurice   
      
   ... Don't cry for me I have vi.
