    More changes to HISTORY.TXT

    I opened the covers today and found this entry inside.

    Added Node 3/128 Omega BBS (DEU) welcome to Andy Froese aka Memo who is also
    based in Germany (Schwerin) and is setting up his Mystic BBS
    running under Debian. You can find the BBS by heading to
    obbs.one Welcome Memo!

    Fun fact: according to the latest Nodelist stats Germany is now the country where the fifth most BBS reside in the fsxNet network. With the arrival of Omega BBS the stats below will also increase and give New Zealand a run for fourth slot :)

    ...that doesn't even include me, does it?

    Mind you, I don't quite know what to say for the location of my BBS -- it's currently Los Altos (California), is on a server in the Chicago area, and I'm in Muenster, Germany.

    Clearly I have to choose the city in front of _me_: Bay Chicago, Germany.

    That'd certainly be entertaining. I wonder how long until I can reasonably
    move to yet another country.

    (I'm not actually planning on that. Unless I can somehow get paid decently in
    a Spanish-speaking country, and we're talking at least couple years down the line when I have permanent residency in Germany.)

    We're all in-continent, I'd hope. Unless there's someone living on a boat.
