Re: [Audyssey] Jim kitchen obituary
Hi Lisa. I fully agree with you that Jim was far more than just his games and the response of what about his games now can seem calous in some lights. However, by the same tocan, I don't think wanting to preserve an artist's unique work is disrespectful. Jim's games after all have been in the lives of hundreds of people, they definitely preserve much of his humour, his personality and the things he loved, indeed it's for this reason that they're so very distinctive. I personally am not worried about Jim's games being lost, simply because so many people, myself definitely included have copies and would be more than willing to host them, however I do think people's concern about this is more due to an appreciation of all Jim has done and the desire that it be preserved for future gamers, than a selfish well how do we play it now sort of mentality, indeed it's likely most people have the game's backed up anyway. Hope this makes sense. I did try to write something of a tribute on audiogames.net (you can find it under Bryan P's news), where at least I tried to make this point. Yes, Jim will be sorely missed, including the contributions to this community from his sly humour and taglines to the games he lavished so much love and attention on and gave out freely to everyone else to enjoy. All the best, Dark. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Yee Gods I can say I'm shocked. Jim's games were also some of the first I played myself, I still recall having great fun with game of life playing with two friends who visited unexpectedly with me yelling instructions through my shower door and them laughing at sapi. Jim will indeed be sorely missed, for his enthusiasm, his humour, and yes, his games as well. Audiogames.net will have a tribute in the news as soon as I can write something even vaguely adequate.

Well I suppose someone will have to host his stuff, its a good question though. I have most of his stuff, I plan to download it and archive it and back it up somewhere if that ever happens but it does need to be mirrored somewhere at least the stuff that can be mirrored. with win 10 at least unless uac is off, program files folder will be not usable so maybe if someone can get all the files, extract them, and then have an installer put them in the local user folder or maybe as a portable package or something I don't know but yeah we need to sort that out.

Hi Shaun, I suspect that it is too early to tell what will become of his stuff.

Re: [Audyssey] jim kitchen obituary
Hi Shaun, Giving Jim's games a standard Windows installer would be no problem. That would be a fairly simple solution to the Program Files folder issue. It was something I wanted to do for a long time, but Jim was apposed to the idea when he was a live. However, in light of the fact someone else might be taking over the distribution and support for his games now we might be able to introduce a different method of installation.. Cheers!

Hello Ishan, Unfortunately, nobody else will be able to do the thread and babble reports. You see, Jim Kitchen wrote his own custom e-mail program and as I understand it the software to create the thread and babble reports was a part of that custom e-mail program. So unless somebody backs up the program from Jim's personal computer I'm afraid to say we will no longer have the thread and babble reports any more. Not unless someone wants to write a new program to do it. Cheers! On 8/8/15, ishan dhami ishan1dha...@gmail.com wrote: O my god ! it is really shocking news.

He was an extraordinary person who used his own disabilities to bring joy to those facing similar hardships. He could always bring a smile to your face with his quirky sense of humor, random jokes and comical taglines. Jim also served as Vice Chairman for the Geauga Metropolitan Housing Authority Board of Commissioners for many years.
