I doubt that many of you have noticed but I've slowly been slipping into the "time divide" between the real and UO. I'm currently working on getting together a project I'd like to do... Shooting a documentary about Street Youth and homelessness. A lot of my time is going towards that lately and the other usual "life" happenings.


Not only am I trying to do fund raising for a documentary but I'm also working on another UO shard project which has divided my time even more! - This being said I want you all to know that I still love UO Evolution and everyone that plays here. The community has always been so receptive to my charitable projects and just me in general. It's like having an extended family that I yell at sometimes ;)


I really respect everyone here and I have met a lot of great people who are always willing to go the extra mile. This is why I felt I owed everyone an explanation for my lack of time and the lack of server updates & publishes.


I hope you guys understand - Oh hey and if you want to lend a helping hand please shoot me a PM - I can always use some extra support!

I'm not going anywhere. I'm still here, just not spending 12 hours a day working on fixes anymore :(

First let me say thanks for all you have done and I do wish you luck on your projects.

On a side note...

This sounds like one of those, "I like you but maybe we should see other people" lines.

Fuel to the fire...


I was recently browsing (2 weeks..ish ago) the https://developers.google.com/ website and found a open source project produced and maintained by the google DEV team. Being ever curious and always attempting to further my knowledge in the realm of "the internets" I had to check out this project more in depth. The project was an open test environment written in python and set aside and has been dubbed "the original source code for asp.net" and page crawler systems that google used when it was first created so many years ago..


anyways, long story short I messed around in the test environment for a ridiculous amount of time, On my phone - On my laptop, at work, at home, middle of the night, etc... I found an apparently "not so obvious" flaw in the source and corrected it.. Having submitted my work I didn't expect much of it..


BUT.. Myself among 50+ Web developers and math based security professionals were contacted and invited out to google HQ in mountain view, CA.


Since I am by no means a programming genius, nor do I claim to be - This was a big shock for me. Being roughly 90% self taught I feel like this is an awesome accomplishment and I share this information not to brag but to update you guys on whats going on with me.
