Thanks – to the countless software developers and contributors who rarely, or never, receive a personal thank-you.
Some of the most challenging projects can trigger unfairly negative responses, when positive updates are offered. To the few developers who are bold and generous enough to take on these extraordinary challenges: a very special thank-you. You know who you are.
@wir@publicvoit ja das wär super! Wenn es sich für morgen nicht mehr ausgeht, am Freitag trete ich mit dem selben Thema vor Schüler:innen in Gleisdorf auf. Könntest du sie mir eben zur FH nach Eggenberg bringen lassen? Oder könnte ich sie in der Stadt wo abholen? #thanks
We received the following letter from Dennis, a grateful reader who is incarcerated in Texas:
"In this crappy world, sometimes the best thing to do is read a book! I want to thank y'all for sending books to those of us who can't afford to get any."
A couple years ago I was one of the first people on the scene of an accident on #bchwy4 where a large cargo truck ran into a semi truck trailer. The driver of the cargo truck was hurt and had to be attended to by EMT. The semi trailer never stopped and left the scene, it passed me just a few hundred metres from where the accident happened before I got there.
A few days later I got a call from ICBC asking if I could provide any information. I sent a detailed description of where I saw the semi trailer, what state it was in, etc.
A few weeks later I got a random phone call from ICBC thanking me for the report and indicating that it had a major impact. I suspect that it proved that the person who was hurt was not responsible... or it proved the identity of the truck that left the scene.
All to say... if you see something that the authorities might be interested in, report it! You never know who you might help.

It's been great seeing the excitement for "The Spiral and The Threads" building over the past few weeks. In particular, the increased interest in the previous "Nod/Wells Timelines" books has been wonderful. Thanks, everybody!
