[lace] Our mail list software
Dear All, Firstly I have no idea about programming or software etc. This note to the list is purely based on a discussion being held currently on another list I belong to (Jackrail; Harpsichords and clavichords) They are considering changing to a modern "mail list" programme. I suspect that our programme is quite old by now, so I offer this to those who know better than me. I am not sure about this following statement so please forgive me if I am wrong: "I think that our current list costs money to run and we have a generous benefactor". I think that "Discourse", the programme Jackrail is considering moving to, is free. (see below) Next reason is that besides the proposed new software being 100% open source, it provides for drag and drop photos. (The one thing that made me stop and think about writing about it to Arachne!) The programme is called Discourse and you can read about Discourse here if you have a special interest in it. https://www.discourse.org With that suggestion, I leave it to those who are far more knowledgeable than myself to pursue if it is worthwhile. I can put anyone especially interested and technically capable, in it in touch with the Jackrail convenor. I share this with the best intentions and the last thing I want is for it causes a furore in our happy band list users. We will not be able to compete with Facebook, but perhaps we enjoy improved features? Like I say, I have no idea about the technicalities. Jean and I are in voluntary lockdown being in the mid-80s + risk group. All of you take care. Special thanks to all of you who are health carers from an old "RN" who worked through the isolation hospital era!! Take care.

[lace] Arachne Meetings
I hope everyone is well, and safe from this terrible virus that is doing the rounds. During this summer over here in Australia I have been wearing my Arachne 2002 souvenir t-shirt with a hedgehog and spider on it. â and I can still fit in it too! ð The Arachne navy polo shirt I also have still fits, as well!! ð And now it is starting to go chilly in the evenings, as we head towards winter, I have been pulling on the Arachne socks I was gifted at last years Arachne lunch in Spokane. They are grey, with black spiders webs on them and gorgeous sparkly mauve little spiders on each web!!! I donât know who gifted them, but a Very Big Thank You. They are a good fit, and come up over my ankles perfectly. It is not cold enough to go into my winter, fluffy slippers, yet, but these socks are doing a good job!! ð I think about the fun of meeting many of you, every time I wear them. Arachne lunches are such fun. Stay safe and well, everyone. At least, confined to home, we will not get bored! Just think of the Output of Lace that will get done! Regards from Liz. L.
