Dear Ruth, It is so lovely to hear from you. Thank you for reading and watching and for your kind words.
How are you doing now? One of the reasons why I returned to Linz (which I didn't write about in my blog) is that my sister-in-law, Peter's sister Moni, had a heart attack last year, which was very close and very scary. She was still struggling with the effects of that when her husband was diagnosed with a massive brain tumor. He managed to survive 12 hours of surgery, and he has been responding well to chemo, but his life expectancy is severely limited now. I came back to be with Moni, because while she puts on a brave face for everyone else, she can talk to me honestly about her fears and worries. So when I ask how you are doing now, it's not meant to be a trivial or superficial question. But all the well-wishes coming through the list now are a moving tribute to you and Marc and the community you have brought together. I hope you feel surrounded by love. And if you would like to chat, please just let me know. I have my own BBB space and a laptop to use it now. Sending you good energy from Austria, Aileen P.S. Speaking of well-wishes, this is a song from Christopher's pandemic EP, which ends with well-wishes in over 30 languages, including four or five voices from Calafou: https://selbstlaut.bandcamp.com/track/kin-ft-elias-hirschl-selbstlaut-elias-hirschl-are-ein-gespenst Wishing you and Marc all of them.

So well pitched and charming. I'm now wondering about all the people who I can send them to.

After living for two years in a collective in Spain, I returned to Linz at the end of last August, where I have now joined another community here. Since I have been back in Austria, I especially enjoy long conversations with my son Patrick about the history of computing and the Internet. When he realized that I have been fascinated by computers since 1977 and by the Internet since the early 90s, he started asking the most interesting questions. Now he is organizing his research and background reading into a series of short Youtube videos, called "A History of the Power of GAFAM": https:// www.youtube.com/channel/UChzYFOwYw0U5vqI7DBEr8nA I hope some of you might be interested, and Patrick is always most appreciative when people comment.
