Hello back

Long time no see. I'm impressed by seeing so many known names in the "last posts" after so many years.
I cannot guarantee you will see me around pretty often, but since I'm busy digging into exFAT things right now I thought it would be nice to confirm what you apparently already know: yes, I've been pretty disappointed to see that 64-bit architectures would require me to re-do everything I had in Clicker. Plus, Clicker was built around the idea to use segmentation for good purpose, and segmentation was gone altogether, so there wouldn't be a "Clicker64" thing. That would just not be Clicker anymore. not at the kernel-level at least, which was all I had.
That all happened as 1) someone nuked my wiki again 2) sourceforge changed php version making me unable to resume my wiki from database dumps 3) the final months of my PhD thesis.
Where have I been all those years ? I've been on bare metal. On a platform where there is no need for an operating system at all
. I've been making tools and games, because I initially started doing clicker in reaction to none of the operating systems I had to be on par with my needs to make the game I wanted to make.
Oh, and I've been doing low-level stuff for daytime job, too. U-Boot, watchdogs, uploading stuff to FPGAs, gdb-server debugging over serial and network...

You old sea-dog! Long time no see.... ARRR! 
Nice to see an old name back, though!
