Contrary to the rumors, I'm still very much alive.

The main thing is my health. I've been struggling with my diabetes as usual but now it's suspected that I have Crohn's disease from overzealous use of antibiotics by the sole infectious diseases doctor at my VA hospital. I have an appointment with gastroenterology next month to see if I actually do have Crohn's. All I'll say is this is terrible and I'd not with this on anyone. I get so dehydrated so fast that I have to go to th ER and the IV saline treatment to bring my body back up to the right hydration levels.

I've been dealing with a lot of family issues as well that take up a lot of time.

But the biggest one now is that I've been (slowly) makling progress moving the BBS back to MBSE. Andrew and I have been working a lot to make MBSE much better. I'm also rewriting the documentation for it, documenting a lot of hidden features that were never mentioned in the docs, and am finally learninf C after 40 years of avoiding it...

I have also been working on Cheepware. I now have my doors working under DOS, Linux, and FreeBSD. OS/2 and Win32 are being worked on. I could theoretically make Win64 doors but I don't see a need to do that now. I've forked the MannDoor toolkit into my own version, MultDoor (pronounced "multi"), and it's working well so far.

I'll be a lot more active from now on as things have calmed down a bit externally though my own health isn't doing so well but I'm trying to get better.

I'll be turning 52 next month and I'm looking forward to another year.

I learned C 30 years ago but have forgotten a lot of it by now after pursuing more of a "tech" career than a programming career. =)

Health always comes first! But glad to hear you're getting "on track", so to speak.

Best regards
