Apologies for the down time.

My host changed their IP address and it took a while for the new IP to be updated across the web.

I had no warning so I could not post a message.

Ho hum. Welcome back

Freddy, Super back! Just a little change!

Hello All.

So THAT's what happened! Good thing! I was about ready to come over there!!

Glad to hear it wasn't permanent!

I guess I sensed a disturbance in the Force so I immediately checked the forum to no avail.

It was a little scare.

He lives! Hey snowy...you still able to sit up and take in nourishment? You've been M.I.A. for a while and we've missed you!

Everything is good on my end. I've just been getting lost in the world of programming epicness; only occasionally surfacing to face life. I got a new nephew here of late. I recently got some more inspiration on my NLP. I've been working hard on that. I'm still hanging around.

I've never stopped working on Athena. Although, finishing it before the end of this year isn't looking good.

Don't tell me your using the Penultimate Operating System as detailed in the Graham Watkins book, "Virus".

It's sort of a rogue OS that encourages it's user to constantly strive to do a little better each time and this keeps on going. The user NEVER completes a project yet the process of working on it, completely consumes the user!

I found the book on Amazon for pennies on the dollar (in the Used Book section). Really great read if one likes Techno Thrillers and such.

Anyhow, it's nice you're still doing OK and congrats on the new Nephew!! (You'll have him programming in no time!)

Nah, I'm just slow and steady, like a terrapin.. and just as pretty.
