Wha....who......it's SPACEDOG!!? Been a while, man! Where have you been, what have you been up to, how's it going? :)

I'm still alive and kicking - and there are a few others who're idling around the place, but as you may or may not have noticed, this place in general has slowed down and more or less come to a halt. Took me a day to even notice your post :P

Hi Xuri :)

Took a couple of years, maybe 8, away from any serious computing,
haven't coded at all :( that kind suck, can't remember squad anymore.
otherwise i have just been browsing the net and going to work,
that is mostly it, pretty boring, then the other day i fell over an old disc
with the Auox source and wondered how everyone of you old timers was
doing, so i went on a venture trying to find you all
(found alot of old out of date webpages) and then i fell over this and
saw you where still in the UOX community, guess you're the only one that
really hang in there, thats awesome :)

what are you up to??
life been good to you?
i sorta missed the whole sha-bang around uox, and wanted to see
if there was still life and maybe hang around alittle :)

pfft. Coding is just like riding a bike - once you've learned it, you'll never forget it! Or so I like to delude myself to believe.

I was just thinking about AUOX myself a few days ago, as I came across a small archive I at some point made of various UOX-related webpages (which included the AUOX homepage!). Had some really awesome features, it did.

There are unfortunately only a few left of us old-timers around these parts (though you can find a couple more in other places *coughRunUOcough*). Personally I'm pretty much always "around" (though without actually doing anything, and with a potential day or two delay in replying to messages etc.), and giwo (zane) comes out of hiding every now and then - plus we have odd random fellows popping up every half year/whole year :P

Development-wise UOX3 is pretty much at a stand-still, as the influx of new developer-blood has (with one exception, Grimson - who deserves credit for sticking around for a long time) been hard to come by, and the existing developer-blood has slowly trickled to a halt as people have found other interests/become busy with "real life". In my case, an actual job working for an actual game development company :O that kinda puts a bit of a damper on this whole thing, unfortunately.

Anyway, I'm going to go hang out on #UOX3 on irc.freenode.net, and might stick around in there for a while. If anyone feel like idling in there along with me, feel free! :)

yea, it had some nice features, probally outdated by now thou :) would be cool to get it running with some of the newer clients thou, so i can play around with it again :)

i will be in the #UOX channel alot, atleast i will be logged in, but will ofcourse not be sitting at the machine at all times.
