    Hi

    As you may have noticed, I've been working on other things for a bit.
    I'm just taking a little break from Magicka... the new full screen
    editor will have to wait.

    Actually, Magicka v0.13 is at a point where I'm pretty happy with it
    and could call it a finished project, but I won't. I know freeing it
    from 80x25 is important to some, it's just not all that important to
    me, so having a hard time motivating myself to do it.

    I guess that's part of sharing a project with others.

    Programming is a skill and also an art. Feel free to express yourself
    however you feel like doing that and go where inspiration takes you.

    It's not like we were paying you for 40Hrs a week or something.

    The Rusty MailBox is happily running v0.13alpha and I have v0.14alpha
    here at home. I have a new ISP now that doesn't block ports. I could and probably will bring The Rusty MailBox back home at some point.

    What I don't have at home is IPv6. Not really a big deal, everything runs
    fine on IPv4 I'm just used to having IPv6 and it makes me a bit
    uncomfortable not having it. I suspect that ISPs will be rolling out IPv6
    to everyone in the not too distant future.

    I guess that's part of sharing a project with others.

    Yep, and there is no contract. You do what you want, when you want, how
    you want if you want.

    Ttyl :-),

    You mean that I've been leaching the code every 36 minutes for nothing.

    I agree with Al, you should just do stuff that takes your fancy and if
    Magicka is not it right now and something else is.. that's all fine and dandy :)

    I'm suffering from wanting to do too many things and not finding time for
    half of them :)

    I must update Bush Track to a newer alpha sometime. :)

    Yeah I would miss IPv6. I'm now used to having it everywhere, even on some of my mobile services.

    Yep, I've been known to switch projects from time to time.

    for half of them :)

    I know that feeling, and in my case, complicated by the time I dedicate to sport. :)

    Ahh that is great news. :D Oh i believe there have been quite a
    few folks who have had motivation issues.
