You're not the first to wonder, not the first to ask and not the first to get no answer (quite probably). I at least haven't seen him in about 2 years and I think he's taken on another part of his life.

I had a last contact with him in April 05.
Hi, I'm quite alright :)

It's just hard finding time for OS development any more. The people who pay me to develop software are filling up all my time...

Is there no way to contact him? I guess he was in UK. He must be somewhere here on net!! Tried to search about Mobius, but dint get any information about Tim..

May I ask for the "why" you need to talk to him that bad?

Ah... so it's nothing any of us others here could answer. Or could we, Pype? 8)

nope. All i could tell is that his user account e-mail (pavlovskii) was still working last time i contacted him...

he seems to appear as a guest here in 2005 ...

@solar: Or maybe what you meant is that Clicker is a "fully-fledge OS" and that i'm now back to real life (if preparing a PhD in CS can qualify as 'real life' :P)

Ah, so you not only have an almost full-fledged OS, but you're this close to entering the Real World (tm) and rapidly losing interest / time in OS development, too... ;D

Saying that i'm "losing interest" in OSdev would be excessive, imho. But indeed, there's been monthes since i did a CVS update and even more time since i did a CVS commit ... in the same time, i'm investing more and more time in googling infos about the nintendo DS, and thinking of implementing the so-long-awaited Clicker GUI on top of XGl/reiser4 rather than waiting for Clicker to support it ...

But i guess that's not the point here, is it?

I just got an email from Pype asking how things were going. It's good to see the regular faces long after I stopped showing up.

I've pretty much stopped OS development -- at least for the time being -- because [url=http:///www.citigroup.com/]these people[/url] are taking up my time instead.

I don't suppose anyone has looked at extending Mobius while I've been away?

@pype: ah, you're a busy fella too. ;-) Have just one colloquium left, and that one 's today - then the first year on my way to msc is done I reckon. *pfoooh* Well - I have hardly time to do osdeving in the last months, and the summer holidays will be occupied with going out with my fairy and doing sports ...

@Tim: nice to read from you again. :-) Life's going on and focus needs to shift sometimes, eh? Stay safe
... the osdever formerly known as beyond infinity ...

The point is that it will get worse once you finished your PhD and start the "real" life... but if you mean this is all a bit OT, I agree. ;)

Updating my project list... Is http://mobius.sourceforge.net still the current website? The page is mostly errors about being able to connect to MySQL. I think SF did something with the project databases since mobius isn't the only OS project having this problem.
