<br>
Coronavirus is hitting hard in many places. And places not hit hard yet <br>
are getting ready for it. This has been affecting daily life for <br>
everyone. Let's keep in mind that the top priorities are to take care of <br>
ourselves and others, following orders and advice from local authorities <br>
and the WHO. Many people are facing extreme hardships, including health <br>
care and emergency workers, people who got ill and their loved ones. <br>
Let's hope it turns out to the best for them, and let's help them when <br>
possible.<br>
<br>
For the rest of us, for the majority of the world, we just need to be <br>
very careful.<br>
<br>
Many people are not able to work at their job or attend to school. Some <br>
of us are lucky enough to be able to keep working from our homes, almost <br>
as usual. In any case, for a lot of us (I know, we are the most lucky <br>
ones), the biggest challenge is to fight our own fear, anguish and <br>
boredom. Let's spend good time with family and friends, talking, playing <br>
games, whatever we can do without leaving our homes. Let's try to get <br>
some exercise. This is great not only for the body, but also for the <br>
mind. My wife Lucía and my daughters Sofía and Diana have been dancing <br>
to some youtube videos. I must join them next time! Some TV is OK, but <br>
too much of it is not. Get enough rest. Take some time to be calm and <br>
quiet. Meditate. Spend time learning and practicing stuff you love. <br>
Maybe we can make the most of this time by focusing on programming projects.<br>
<br>
So, use Cuis. Play with Cuis. Learn with Cuis. Learn about Cuis. Feel <br>
free to share your thoughts and feelings here. We are a community. Many <br>
of us have never meet in person, but we still share a lot. We are a <br>
bunch of friends, even if it might be a little different kind of friendship.<br>
<br>
Let me tell how all this is going for me.<br>
<br>
In Argentina, we are in a preventive quarantine. We still don't have <br>
many cases, but we (Argentina) want to flatten the exponential growth <br>
from the start. My kids are at home, as schools are closed. The school <br>
gave them a lot of stuff to "research", so this is becoming a kind of <br>
home schooling! Lucía and I are spending time helping them with that. <br>
Fortunately, we and our larger families are all healthy. We keep in <br>
touch. We are both also doing home office for work. So we are quite <br>
busy! Our home has a nice backyard and the weather is nice, so we are <br>
able to spend time outside.<br>
<br>
I spend some time doing Cuis. I know I'm being quite slow in answering <br>
email and several of you are waiting an answer on some particular topic. <br>
I apologize for this, and I promise I'll eventually get to each one of <br>
them. I have also been working a few hours over several weeks on <br>
VectorGraphics and TrueType. I have some updates to push, hopefully <br>
today, and will tell in another email.<br>
<br>
Thank you all for being around, helping Cuis grow, recoding videos and <br>
spreading the word, or simply sharing this space. Everybody, please feel <br>
free to share your feelings and thoughts.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
