Ian here, him of Karma fame ;-). Still fire up my acorns, mostly for code
dev as StrongEd is still such a good editor.
Been living in Norway for almost ten years and worked with Guttorm Vik of
StrongEd fame early on.
I still get entusiastic conversations on the Karma front from Sveinung
when
I see him, which is often a bit strange and hard work after such a long
time, but also kinda fun. Funny, the world has moved on so much since
those
heady days, but still there are aspects and concepts that have never been
repeated. If I had 20 million of a reasonable currency, it would still be
a
relevent project to bring up to date. I have thought often about it, and
about porting the CASE tool Rick and I made to hold all the data, really
killer design tool back then, and still is I think.
It is now a long time since Rick died. He is often in my thoughts of
course
because that was such a special time, and his widow is still a great and
precious friend.
If anyone wishes to talk, discuss, the project is still easily brought to
the forefront of my mind. Like I say, just popped in to say hi.
Lots has happened since to us all, in code, I've covered a lot of C,
Oracle
(PL/SQL) and now mobile phone code ( very interesting ).
Take care all and keep the acorn flag alive.
Regards,
Ian.
