A Russian translator living in Israel somehow found me through a website which
when I tried to access it ended me up at the site of a Swiss BBS with email
called PAMHO. www.pamho.com was founded in 1986 as a local bbs on a PDP which
progressed to a 386 and then a 486 with 16MB RAM and 5 modem lines, crashed
in 1994, and in 1996 started telnet login which quickly attracted lots of
vandals and prompted them to require a membership fee. For $20/year (30
franks Swiss) you get POP mail, for about $8 basic membership without POP
mail and there are other differences in privileges.
The bbs is run by a group of people with Indian-sounding names and was at
least originally religious-based. Several people had the mission of getting
the computer system to keep running. The history makes interesting reading
and this would be a place to steer people who want POP mail. Economy class
members can only access 14 conferences, first class is unlimited. They now
have web access to mail and conferences.

I did some more reading and PAMHO has now moved to Florida, no longer appears
to have telnet access (but they may still be dial-in) and no longer charges
anything for their basic webmail account. It is still $20 if you want POP
or IMAP access and web space and a mailbox larger than 8M. Unfortunately when
I tried to compose a test mail this proved impossible to do with lynx since
they require javascript. I will try to access their conferences on the web.

It's two years ago, today, I quit smoking.
Haven't touched a single one since then.
No lapses whatsoever.
Wheeeeeeeeze! (not anymore)

Very glad to hear clees's good news. It took my father 11 years of trying
before he quit after getting an ulcer.

I'll be performing again in the annual Ragtime Bash at the
Unitarian Church in Ann Arbor. Sunday, December 14, 7:30pm.
Other performers will include Bob Seely, Kent Eschelman,
and Mike Montgomery. I'll post admission prices and other
details when I learn them.

That would be cool. As far as I know, previous bashes have not
been recorded.
Speaking of web broadcasts, I was interviewed by David Reffkin at
last June's Scott Joplin Festival in Sedalia, Missouri. Reffkin
emcees a weekly ragtime radio show in San Francisco which is also
broadcast on the web. He comes to the festival every year and
records interviews with both "official" performers and "unofficial"
ones (like me) for later airing on his show. He said my interview
would be broadcast this fall at the earliest and he'd let me know
when it's scheduled. So if and when he schedules it, I'll
announce it here.
In addition to doing the radio show, Reffkin is a violinist and
record producer. He was recording engineer for "The Red Back Book",
an album of Joplin work arranged for instrumental ensemble that was
released in the 1970s (and may now be available on CD).

Re #276: Look at /a/r/u/russ/risks/*. I suggest starting
with /a/r/u/russ/risks/risks-23.* first, before diving into
all the back issues. It's an eye-opener.

Eight years ago, on Friday, November 24, 2003, was the date of my
wedding. I was divorced earlier this year.
I didn't realize today was November 24 until a few minutes ago.
That's remarkable; for the last two years, the anniversary has been
difficult for me to handle; something I've dreaded for several days
before it arrived.
