I've been reading apocalyptic fiction lately - zombies (World War Z,
Walking dead, 28 days later), ecological crises (The Road),
plagues (The Stand is an oldie but a goodie), comet impact (Lucifer's
Hammer) and so on.
I just finished "World built By Hand", a book about a post-oil, post government america where the economy has collapsed and communities are
forced to become self-reliant.
When the dust settles, people are forced to start again. While there's lots of salvage to be re-used, manufactured products are scarce and eventually will be gone. People are living a life I'd estimate comparable to pre-industrial revolution culture, but with salvaged modern materials.
Most of the skills people had before the event are irelevant, and many of
the skills people need to survive are long-lost in today's disposable, mass manufacturing culture.
What skills do you have that you could use or teach to help start over?
I'm tempted to make pre-indutrial crafting into my new hobby. Who knows, it might come in handy. :)
Kurt.. this echo is dead.. but that not that kind of dead <lol>.. I

YEp, saw that one back a few weeks ago. There are a few of
us squish users still lurking here in case anybody needs
help with the product, or squish related software such as
sqafix, etc.
Marc LEwis and I both offered to co-mod but were rebuffed,
but the mod did at least take advantage of access through
Marc's system iirc, so there are still folks around if
somebody needs assistance or info.
It's been years since I used Squish and Max but I still feel a kind
of loyalty there, ya know? <grin>.. Well at least to comment
here...

Very cool - good of you two to do so... I was talking to a fellow
who ran Max in the 80's last night.. Hopefully we'll get him set up
to come back on his 2011 Linux system... would've been neat if I
could have told him the Linux version was realistic :( Well we'll
see which package he decides to try out..

TUB is not dead.
It is in suspended animation with 1 or 2 beats a year.

so, in the tradition of Princess Bride, it's just "mostly dead" :)
