   I have been active on IRC on #cafechat in irc.dal.net playing trivia   
   for most of the year. Haven't done much programming since I last saw   
   you but now I'm hoping to get back. Of course, getting up-to-date   
   with the new technology I am disappointed to find a lot of it seems   
   to be bug-ridden trash LOL   
      
   Anyways after playing on-line trivia I started playing scrabble   
   on-line (using the EA phone app) and also some chess.

   Well I've got size 28 here and it comes out a bit better, at least I can   
   read it. But now I must ditch the scroll bars, I don't remember it even   
   showing them before, been all the way  through the properties tabs   
   and can't find any disable scroll bars anywhere. Any ideas?

   Well they say that IRC is dead too but it hasn't stopped me using it for   
   the past year. I wouldn't really listen to what they say anyways...   
   You can programming assembly on your phone, typical android phone has   
   an ARMv8 processor, and it's a pretty reasonable beast. Ever tried TERMUX?   
      
   Yes, well now that I know you are here I will endeavour to pay a call at   
   least from time to time. Certainly more often than 10 years (I think it's   
   been a tad longer than that!).   
      
   See you soon,   
   Lori
