---------------------------------------------------------------
This month has seen some pretty big changes to my server setup. I now
run FreeBSD on my Linode, with servers I wrote myself providing most
of the user facing functionality.

I rather like running BSD again. No more dpkg database issues or
systemd, and a lot less crap overall. It works nicely for me.

There are now two servers. The secondary one mirrors the primary every
hour, so I can quickly swap the DNS records to ensure that my stuff
remains up.

The servers (Atua, Atua-WWW, Tuporo, Contrition, and a few others)
all run under a simple inetd setup.

I'm making other changes as well. Going forward I'll be using
Fossil for version control on my projects. This is less trouble than
compiling and dealing with Git. I'll have to mark the Github repos
as abandoned/inactive; probably in the next few days.

RETRO is improving a bit. The 2017.11 release will finally finish
removing hard coded limits on the temporary string buffer and add
some additional bits to determine how much memory is actually
available to the user.

I've also added many new examples, and several new documents. The
iOS release will see a lot of these in the next update.

That's all for now...
