Thank you for that, Amir, I really appreciate it. Also, thank you so much for the offer of the DragonRuby GTK licence. I very well may take you up on that!

Intro
I'm Terry Gannon and I help to write, edit and socialize WNDXLori's DragonRuby Dispatch bi-weekly newsletter. As we like to say, setting all pretence of modesty aside, The World's Best DragonRuby Newsletter. My reason for being here relates to Lori's output-to-my-input: for each issue she hands me a bunch of URLs on Trello and it's my job to try and stitch them into readable prose if I can. Candidly, that usually requires a little research on each of them. itch.io and Discord are some of the resources I use to do that. I'll try not to get in the way or ask any stupid questions.
So far as my technical background. The Readers' Digest version of that is I wrote my first line of code on a TRS-80 Model I with Level 2 BASIC in 1977 and wrote my last one, let me think, a few days ago I believe. Candidly, I was never much good as a coder but still have managed to make a living in IT/IT Management since 1980. Since 2008 I have been independent and now focus on helping companies like Lori's get their message out. My unique selling proposition in that regard is I think I can string a sentence together coupled with a deep appreciation for the art/science that is code and those who write it. I also do a pretty good job on podcasts, as well, and have a couple of shows for which I write/record new episodes as time allows.
