Why?

Why the angst? Nix is cool. And th= e nonexistent demons will release something cool.

= Now getting back to the lost v10 - which I think is a much more interesting= topic. (There work is much more interesting, I guess mine is challenging).=

I have to go to Canberra to sort this out. Got the micr= ovax in a Kombi and we are at Goulburn, half way there.

Perfect time to do the right thing, with a grin. Newly elected govt.<= /div>

You want it, you pay the freight, and maybe something t= o University of Madrid - it's nice there..

It isn't really secret. We went back more than a few steps ear= lier in the year, which is one reason it would
not be useful at all in its current state. At th= e moment, it is not, by any means, a series of incremental improvements
that could simply be checked in to hg or publi= shed on a 9p server. At times it can go many days
before it can even be recompiled, let alone run,= because old fundamental structures have
be= en re-organised. Large chunks are in flux. Although Nemo was working steadi= ly
away, after some initial work, I was bound up wi= th another project (that has nearly finished),
which meant I couldn't even review and consider some of the changes= until early August.
Then there was an August break, although I did m= anage to do some work on it of interest to me.
Meanwhile, the other project I mentioned has changed my priorities, so = I anticipate more churn.
