    Hey

    Just wondering about the Wiki and Magicka BBS, I said before I was
    giving up on it, but I doubt I'll ever really give up on it, just take
    breaks from adding things.

    So should I say it's active if I'm not adding features all the time?

    I will certainly fix bugs if they present themselves, but can't really
    think of anything new to add right now.

    My other project is going slowly. Very slowly.. hard to find motivation
    to work on anything right now really :)

    I tend to this as well. It seems to be the norm for folks in developer land :)

    So should I say it's active if I'm not adding features all the time?

    If it's not abandoned then yeah I think it's active.

    There you go. Active :)

    You have so many on the go, which one is that, is that the other closed
    source one?

    There you go. Active :)

    Thanks Paul, I thought I should say it's active.

    Yep that's the one. I do have too many things on the go lol. I might
    keep plugging away at this one too though, there's no rush, being that I
    am the only user :)

    Just pushed some fixes for Magicka to build on OSX. So there you go,
    definatly active now :D

    Hello Apam!

    Yes 100% it's an active software.

    I will certainly fix bugs if they present themselves, but can't really think of anything new to add right now.

    I still consider ezycom active, the author is answering email, and had
    fixed a couple bugs as well as added a few features I requested.

    This is a hobby, not a job. :) Keep going with the wiki and leave Magicka into "maintenance mode", fixing bugs if they appear... Later on, you will
    come up with new ideas to implement and then you will be able to pick up from where you left. ;)

    Well I'm back at it :)

    I've redone chat to use my own chat server rather than IRC, the Makefiles
    have been overhauled to build everything in one go. And I've just added
    an FTP server :D

    Ok.. when I get some time I'll have a look at what is new with it and get it pulled and rebuild.

    It ran really well. I have a Pi 2B, I don't think there is NetBSD support for Aarch64 yet. I only moved over to x86 because I wanted to be able to use some linux only binaries that were for x86.
