Not well at all, but thank you. My son has reached a crisis, physical and psychological, from which he = might not survive. I've seen it coming for 8 years, and tried to fix it, or postpone it, = for 8 years, but it is here. I spent my life savings, and money from friends, and money I don't even = have (unpaid taxes etc), trying to fix it, but it is here. No matter what happens, even if my son miraculously recovers, Wendy and = I will be poor and eking out a sad living for the rest of our lives. Well we have each other, I guess that's something. How does one prepare for, or recover from, the death of a child? I = don't know. Meantime I can't do much but hide under a blanket and play solitaire = and listen to Blakmore's Night, over and over and over again. Even thinking about what's for dinner is overwhelming. That means no work on edbrowse, as you have seen. If a software project doesn't keep up, it falls behind, and if it is = far enough behind, it dies. Example: if I hadn't converted to duktape, it would no longer be = distributed, which is the first step to extinction. Well something else will come along, something that I'm not keeping up = with, and I don't care, because nothing matters to me any more. There is something else that I work on from time to time. It doesn't = take as much brain power or concentration, and I can do a few minutes = and then walk away, and it's something to think about besides my son = and solitaire. It's a book, or would like to be a book some day. I imagine it's only about 15% written, so a lot of work ahead, and = again, I don't know if I care, or if it's worth the bother. Afterward someone has to edit, and fact-check, and illustrate, and help = me publish, and I don't even know who that would be. So it seems futile, like everything else I do, but I work on it = sometimes. You can see it here. http://www.eklhad.net/scilit/ > Best wishes to the list subscribers=20 And to you.
