A sincere apology and a little explanation...
Posted: 7. August 2008 21:08
Hello, my name is Ice and I think of myself as one of the Board3 devs. Unfortunately I have not been around very much lately and I thought I should explain why.
About 2 months ago I was taking my A level exams, for those of you who've never heard of them they are exams taken at 18 that dictate where you are able to go for University. This was a very stressful time for me so I took time off from developing Board3 to concentrate on my studies. After my exams were over I took a little break to relax and socialise with my friends.
Then, just as I was getting back into developing Board3 my machine died (For those that are curious it was a Dell XPS M1710 laptop) just a few days out of warranty! This skewed all my plans, as it is not a cheap thing to rectify as the laptop was £2000 new and I was quoted a repair cost of at least £600 which as a lowly student I do not have. I was literally using any computer I could, friend, family, even visiting the local library to use their computers. Dark, dark days. I have now managed to scrounge and put together a rudimentary machine, it's not fantastic but it'll do.
So I'm now getting back into developing Board3, as well as trying to retrieve the updates I had done on my old machine so hopefully I'll have some new stuff up soon.
Thank you to the community for all for your past, present and future support. I apologise again and hope that the future is much brighter than what I've already been through.
