Hello, Jason.

Not really old age (hey, I'm only 34 :), but lack of interest may play a
key role in it.  I've been tossing around the idea of open sourcing
everything that I've written under the Cheepware name that I can find my
source for (not an easy task, I assure you).  That way, if someone wants to
keep working on my stuff, they can, or they can make it better.

I'm just dead tired.  With my constantly being sick, my job wearing me out
and my looking for work and everything else going on, I've little time to
sit down and program.  I figure if I do write anything else, I'll write it
in MEX (Maximus's programming language) and open source it-that way, if
someone likes my program, they can check out the source and port it to
their favorite programming/scripting language.

Today, I've been up 17 hours already (and it's 8 PM).  My parents' 15 year
old dog had to be put down and I was digging a grave for her in 30 degree
weather. I'm sick to boot, but I'm the only one that can do it in the
family.  That just wore me out-even more so than work.

I think once I get a less stressful job, get my health back into the black
and settle down, BBSing will be more fun for me.  Right now, even with the
changeover, things are on semi-autopilot.

I just have to remember that it's a hobby after all.

Later,
Sean
