Kimberly Elizabeth Fox 8/28/1955 - 6/11/2008

I've been holding out on posting here, as I didn't know what to post.

Many of you probably know this, but for those that don't, Kim passed away in June @ the Hospital Univeristy of Pennsylvania from complications of her heart condition.

Kimberly was a great woman, and loved by many. If you want to know more about her battle with her health over her last few months on this earth, you can look @ my blog ( http://geekyblog.blogspot.com ). I will also be posting info and stories about Kim as I come to terms with the loss of such a great person.

I am currently working on restoring Kim's website ( http://www.kimem.net ) and finishing her story, EXPO Summer, as I promised her I would. I will post here, and on my blog, when more info is available.

P.S. I'm sorry for those of you I failed to notify, but she had many friends, and it's hard.

Counting down to zero...

Um, yeah. It has been a while. Countdown is almost finished, and my comics reading has been irregular enough that I have no freakin' idea what's going on there... but I am enjoying the ride.

Health update: Ahem. leessee. Congestive heart failure, bad heart murmur, heart valve replacement. 'nuff said?

And folks, let's cut Piper some slack on the servers, okay? She's been hard at work there, doubling our bandwidth, tripling the number of servers we've got on line, and a whole pot-load of other stuff, and to do it all and keep somewhat on schedule she's been doing it all without my help. I'm still in hospital -- haven't been home since February -- Piper has been carrying the load. In addition to doing the server work, she's been here at the hospital with me most days. She's pulling an inhuman load, and she deserves lots of credit for her efforts.

Donations wouldn't hurt either, kids. All this stuff comes at a price... And now I'm returning to my sickbed and Piper gets her laptop back. - ;) Kim
