Well... life seems to be sorting itself out for the moment.

I'll be staying at manawolf and sardonicus's place for the immediate future, providing driver services for manawolf while her ankle heals.

For today... I'm going to go to the Fur-B-Q obviously. And so are manawolf and sardonicus and Janus. :-)

As for the immediate future... I'm going to start working on the 'next generation' fork of FuzzBall MUCK that has sat lingering on my disk-drive for ages.

I still want to remove everything from the server that is single-purpose or better handled in server-side MUF code. Like 'pennies', the 'kill' flag, the 'kill' and 'rob' commands, since the 'kill' flag doesn't actually have any meaning for anything but player-type objects in the database, and pennies are just a crude form of quota, better handled with MUF implementing type-specific quota's.

Bingo.

And honestly, the only purposes pennies serve can be done just as effectively with a MUF library, a couple global MUF and MPI macros, and some extra commands. And most servers running FuzzBall don't use pennies at all anymore.

Would let me remove an entire flag from the server as well, and yes, remove one of the very last vestiges of the MUD origins of the server. :-)
