lol really anyone know where those two are?
Hey Ras,
indeed, I am touched that someone seems to miss me;-). Too bad, I am
/not/ hiding; in fact, I am swamped by work after my return from
vacations and it seems to remain like this...Let me better tell you
privately what is going on. I think I also know where this "Bulgarian
sidekick" is hanging out;-).
Lots of things have happened since I took off for our anual hiking
holiday in the hart of the Swiss Alps some 4 weeks ago. While our
vacation was just beautiful, a world famous physicist colleague and
friend was hit by an avalange of mud, rocks and other debris outside
of his holiday house in Austria. He was crushed against the house
wall, survived by some sort of miracle with most serious brain
injuries and is now kept in artificial coma in an Austrian hospital...
Their handy did not work for some odd reason, and so the wife had to
run for about one hour over some mountain to call for help, while her
husband was fighting for his life in the mud...The helicopter only
came after more than an hour.
You must have heard about the unbelievable inondations we had in
eastern Germany and in fact all over Europe, reaching east until the
Ukraine at the border of the Black sea (where I am supposed to be
going in a few days...)
As to my TextureFoundry site on
http://www.shatters.net, I am amazed that is
was visited by 773 people during my absence. However, I am quite
frustrated, too. New issues have turned up that seem to prevent me to
fill the site with all the textures I have prepared on my machine at
home before I left for vacations. Again this is matters for private email.
I am glad that Chris is now preparing for version 1.2.5, which
actually also contains some code by myself. I am looking forward to
playing with the separate alpha and bumpmap files, but have no idea
when I get some spare time for this...
Bye Fridger
