@simonwistow That first try was rather special. I think she's still player of the year so about a year ago your argument certainly had broad agreement. And I'm with you too.

Abe Timmerman (aka abeltje) died last year. I posted a bit about him. He was an awesome Perl programmer and developer, a master tester and hacker, bright and smart. Wonderful sense of humour. A great friend, nice, funny, friendly, helpful, witty, and he fluently spoke sarcasm. Here's pictures of 20 years of friendship with him.

@pdcawley I recorded this on cassette when it was broadcast live on NYE 1979. So I can confirm that you're pretty much 100% accurate.

@waltman @vmbrasseur I think the sheep are real though. In fact, during the warmer months it's hard to find an area of Swiss grassland which isn't populated by some sheep or cows.

@sushee @alh I bought an app to remove shadows, crop and turn the pictures into rectangles, and turn them into multi-page pdfs. Haven't scanned anything in years :)
