Like others, I fished out my old Go Pro HERO 3+ and found that I could not link to it via WiFi because I had forgotten the password.

Mr. Alan. It's good to know you're well and writing for Times of Malta (about a topic I'm interested in, too!). I'm an old fan of your In Action videos. They inspired me to pursue a career in computer science and computer security. Thanks for creating such interesting content. I hope you can create some more videos again. Please bring back the nice, and eerie, Bond song!
