    A quick update on what's going on in my life: the credit/exam time in the Uni has finally started, which means that soon the amount of work assigned to me should get reduced (I keep my fingers crossed ;))... Other than that, I'm using whatever little spare time I have to learn some new techniques related to coding graphics, optimizing the code, and so on. Right now I'm reading some of the basic tuts on SDL.NET, a freeware multimedia (graphics/audio) library (SDL) wrapper for .net 1.1/2.0. I actually recommend everyone who's looking for a simple, yet fast and powerful graphics library to look at it. Hopefully I'll be able to put this good stuff into use in ToEEWB once I'm free to code it.

    Keep up the great work, guys! Looking forward to seeing an official KotB demo in the future.

    Take care!

    Ag, you're truly remarkable. Even when on hiatus, you're still looking for ways to improve things for everyone. Just remember that the word "fan" is derived from FANATIC! :D

    A little update on my status: I'm finishing my work at the University (for this year, that is ;)) and therefore should be available for further Co8 work in the beginning of 2007. I'm not sure what you guys have been up to all this time, I tried to support Ted with the KotB project as much as I could, but I afraid I wasn't too helpful lately due to my RL problems.

    So, I'm wondering that if I get back, what is it that needs doing the most? I have some ToEEFE things to fix, as well as some .NET 3.0 porting to do for my utilities (if code porting will be necessary to increase the working speed of my projects), but other than that I'm afraid I'm a little bit at a loss.

    By the way, I wish everyone a happy New Year! I know it's a little early, but I'm preparing right now and I thought it's gonna be a good idea to congratulate you guys with this great holiday! I hope everything works out well for you and you will stay happy and healthy!

    Good luck to everyone who's working on a Co8 project right now!

    D'oh, forgot to PM you like you asked on IRC a while back, but don't forget my delete .pyc files option for Toffee request! :)

    Oh, and there is now a co8Util folder in the scr folder for Co8 utility scripts. Those .pyc files should be deleted as well as part of that option.

    Hey, thanks for the congrats, guys! You're the best! :D

    Yeah, I'm kind of back, right now I'm working on some testing for Ted (not too successfully, but I'm doing my best), and I'll get back to ToEEFE next. So, expect some updates from me this month. ;)
