Yep she's all better now, my list of to-do's is rather long again :-)

I'm well, work is busy and I'm trying to work on the BBS as time permits.
Have been working on bbs.geek.nz website interface in an effort to make
access to my BBS more user friendly to folks that don't telnet. It's been
only average in attracting logins but still early days and I remain hopefull
of being able to drum up further interest among some New Zealanders in
BBSing and FidoNet again.

How are you?
