Folks and Folkesses,



I will join you as soon as I can after participating of an anniversary meal from our friends at Pistachio. Least we can do to keep them in business.



I also have another engagement just before 9 as I waxed lyrical about Jitsi to my Thursday night father's club, and they've all taken to it, so I have to initiate another meeting.



To paraphrase Martin, Zoom was fine when it was just a lolly :)

Folks,

Ok, so this is just too presciently apt to not to share...

sense of achievement you get from getting them to work at all.  In other
words... their fundamental design flaws are completely hidden by their
superficial design flaws.

How spooky is that?!


Enjoy :-)
