It's funny what you find when you're going through two years of archived mail. I have about three promises of games from

arwel - Silver Marches (proposed for the middle of May 2004), Feng Shui (which seems to have just sort of tailed off) and the "Mad" game (which we did actually get a session of). It's sad how suddenly we've gone from "far too many games to rune them all" to "never geek".

(I'm still considering a game of Big Eyes Small Mouth but it's not really a viable replacement to the Tuesday Night game as it'll probably run at Chez Bennee, making a weeknight tricky for Sam and Nook, and probably Gem as well though I've not spoken to her. I'd be willing to run something else on Tuesdays, if it means saving the regular thing before all memory of it vanishes. Some other night would be okay too if people have already filled that time. I am of the opinion that regular sessions are good things.)

I am also reminded that the Sunderland Massive promised us a visit, which has not yet happened (unless I am more out of the loop than I thought).

Finally I've been trying to get Thunderbird to read IMAP mail from the Bennee.com server, which involves setting up a tunnel between my PC and the one upstairs over the internet. I've got it to the point where it no longer says "cannot connect" but it's still not reading any folders or mail at all. The annoying thing is that the options on the account setup interface seem to imply that IMAP supports a secure logon naturally, without all this port forwarding nonsense. Oh well, I suppose I'll just have to talk to Alex or something.
