Hello!
Now.. there are new circumstances to deal with, but somehow a renewed interest in fidonet has emerged.

I've been reading your testing in POINTS. I like apps that run on the terminal so I may have to try OpenXP again some time. I forget the reasons but the last time I looked I couldn't figure out what was going on.
..I've had to drop out too a couple of times.. circumstances.. All
systems are go here currently and RL seems favorable to that these days.
The Internet can be and often is wearing on the brain and the stuff you read there can't be trusted.
..With Fidonet, the discourse is different
in that we can agree to disagree, so in that manner it is like havine a conversation amongst friends because we belong to the same club and can
and will remain friends.

Unless you're in the Arctic Circle in summer, when it becomes
"The Land Of The Midnight Sun". :P

I know. I was thinking of the phrase politicians are so fond of using nowad
and improved it. (-:

It's fine for seeking quick technical helps. For just
conversation, it doesn't work very well.

Well said.

..and cold, in my case. No hydro for over 4 hours sincce 2:30pm I
may just have to hunker down under some heavy blankets in bed and
just wait it out.

Wow! I couldn't take that.

Primarily using this echo to field-test OpenXP.
I've participated in C_K echo many many years ago (OS/2, FMail, FleetStreet). I had even set up a Frontdoor/APX system for my mom.
C_K and MEMORIES were two of her favourite hang-outs.
Then, I dropped out of Fido-world for a number of years after my
OS/2 harddrive with the mailer system crashed and when other
life's circumstances came along.
Now.. there are new circumstances to deal with, but somehow a
renewed interest in fidonet has emerged.

The coldest place in Canada I've found was in Saskatoon. It is oftem colder there than Alaska. I almost went there about 10 years ago to visit a friend.

Is that temp indoors? I bet your ambient air is much warmer.
I've had about 50-55F indoors when hydro is out for longer periods.
That's about when my body says "can't function, go to bed"
Are you actually connecting from Utqiagvik? I bet you are the most
northerly caller.

The phenomenon of the "polar vortex" can bring some fairly nasty
bitter cold much further south than expected. In general, the
weather patterns are quite varied of late.
Anyway... got my hydro-power back after 8:30p the other night. The
inside temp was about 57F by then.

57F is still not too bad. Forties and Thirties would have had me trembling.

No. I get those temmps from my cell phone, which is pretty accurate.
When in doubt, I check its temp at their site.

I went to my family's cabin this week, it was 33F, but shoveling
several cubic yards of snow to get to the front door kept me warm.

True.. but anything below 55F is starting to require a heavy
sweater, a coat, warm footwear, and maybe even a hat. Indoors,
that can seem ridiculous. :(

Have you lived in Utqiagvik before? Just wondering why you have the interest for that location.
I wonder who *is* the most northerly/southern user.

Maybe so, but I'll bet the sweat you worked up doing that wasn't good
for you.

I spend way too much time sitting in front of a keyboard -- getting
out and shoveling snow at 6900 feet feels good, occasionally.
