In 1986, as part of a school project, I spent a week programming a graphical version of *Battleship* on an Apple II with Andreas, who sat next to me in class. This Saturday, he will be my best man. Thank you for over 40 years of friendship.

Spam filters are getting more and more business critical. Even long term contacts are suddenly ending up in spam folders. Most annoying is Spamhaus, a service blocking everything we send and we have no chance to change it. If you want to stay in contact with @thewarlocs.bsky.social , don't use it.
