The BIG 40 today...

Well, it is out in the open now, I am 40 years old today! That's right ! I am starting the second and last part of my adventure on this planet... unless someone invents today a cloning machine. After all, I think I had an amazing first 40 years and accomplished quite considerably for my age.

Someone old and wise told me when I was in Hong Kong, life is short, can be a b.... from time to time, throw you curves when you don't expect, but overall will be full of joy, enlightenment and gratification. Well, he was right on the money, I am an happy father of 4 marvelous kids and married to my soul mate for the last 12 years, and going strong...

Yeah yeah old man, but what this has to do with MaXX Destkop! You are right, and the answer is, everything... My absence from the front lines was justified, but I still feel bad about it... There is nothing on this earth that will prevent me from seeing my young kids growing up... they are still, but now 3 of them have (hopefully) a solid foundation that they can build on and start to experience life. This translate into more free time and energy to put into my second love, MaXX Desktop.

About Developer Release 1... DR1 will be available to download as soon as I finish revising the License Agreement with SGI lawyers. DR1 will include a text-only installer, a migration script for Beta1 users and a working Desktop with lots of new applications. More details will be posted here and on 5dwm.org

So the future is bright for MaXX Desktop !

Cheers,

Eric, the old man, Masson
