Thanks for the condolences, all. I forgot to mention that Grandpa is actually responsible for both parts of my handle (the rarely-used full version being Commodore Zeke), and arguably this site itself. He's the one who got me my first computer, a Commodore 64. No one else in the family was much into computers. I learned to program on my 64, and man, I loved that thing. It was the start of my fascination with computers and later the internet -- which has been very much a mixed blessing in my life, but I don't regret it. Thus, when we were all choosing ranks at Deltachat, I knew right away which one I wanted.

On another topic, I just renewed the fiveminute.net domain, but today was the last day to do so -- so don't be alarmed if there are minor DNS hiccups.

PNQ: If you'd forgotten, would somebody have snapped it up, and what would the alternative webaddress have been?

Condolences on your granddad, Zeke. Losing family is always bad.

Deeply pleased that there are new fivers, though.
