PH> Don't burn yourself out... I think I did that and with other family and
 PH> work pressures this last year have not been as active as I would have
 PH> liked to be. But when I do have a play in the BBS pond it's nice :)

Agreed.  Moderation is always good and it helps to keep things interesting in a sometimes slow-changing hobby, I think.

 PH> Better to just let things roll until you are. To be honest I've not used

I'd like to think A48 brings new stuff and fixes more than it breaks, but time will tell lol.  I've just uploaded the latest A48 code now that the prealpha folder is available again on mysticbbs.com.  I'll have to see if I can get some feedback.

 PH> There's always the 26th :)

Yep or the 30th if I am still kicking around then.  Its crazy to think that I've been doing this for 25 years now.

 PH> Let me dig back and if I can surface some stuff I'll post it here, but as
 PH> mentioned others will/can chime in also and will likely be more up to
 PH> speed than I am at present.

Sounds good, if you come across anything please pass along.  But don't waste too much time on it, I am sure eventually people will get to me.

 PH> What I can let you know is that I've been spending a little bit of time
 PH> on the wiki around September and started to update content e.g. adding
 PH> more recent MUTIL functions etc. You're arrival has spurred me into
 PH> action again today ;)

Thats awesome, thank you for the help!

 PH> There's a bunch of stuff I could protectively work on re content changes
 PH> in naming conventions if you felt A48 may come out in the coming weeks
 PH> e.g. whitelist.txt changes to allowlist.txt etc.  I just wasn't sure
 PH> when to press ahead with that stuff.

I have to find a way to compile the macOS version but other than that I am ready to release A48 now if the community seems to think its good to go.

 PH> Lastly, if I want to contact you privately is the mystic Gmail still the
 PH> best way to go?

Normally I would say yes, but at some point my e-mail stopped syncing and I didn't notice it until today.  I just assumed I wasn't getting e-mail because I hadn't been active.  There could be a lot of e-mail sitting in there that I have not seen yet.

I would say for now Netmail works.  I never stopped checking my netmail while I was gone, although it was usually once every other week or so.

 PH> Happy New Year from over here, it's 2.26pm on 31/12/22 so I'm almost at
 PH> burbon and coke stage now.. heh

Happy new year, time traveler!

I have an extra day off work on Monday, and for once I don't have a million things going on this weekend.  Time to kick back and join you... I'll have Whiskey Sour in your honor tomorrow when the time arrives!

Cheers!

... Live every day as though it were your last. One day, you'll be right
