Two years ago to the day we lost our home, Nekochan.net, that had been there for the past 15 years. It's been hard, and that's why i came out of self-imposed vacation to say:

We survived. We have survived that, a schism, and several minor scares, losses and battles. Things are not back to "normal" and never will be, but we have survived. 

For posterity, I'm glad I archived the page: http://archive.fo/dJgyQ

The world changes around us. People change. Some people move on. That's what Peter did. A few days ago, he deleted his Twitter account. That's the end of Peter's involvement for sure. Nekochan is gone. I'm sorry that it didn't come back, I deeply am. It's not my fault, of course, but that doesn't change that guilt I feel. Had we known; I would have made an effort to save it. 

That all said, we're in a better position than this time last year. I try to be positive. I have to be strong, as my position in the community is to ensure it doesn't slide into obscurity, and that we keep moving forward. 

I won't say too much, but great things are afoot. I even learned today that someone is decompiling the 7.1 compiler for IRIX: https://github.com/n64decomp/ido

Another person pointed me to this on /r/unix: https://github.com/JohnDTX/irix-3.x-src

Overall, I'm excited for the various projects that are coming forward, both from people here, and those abroad/not directly part of our stuff. 

Keep it cool guys. I'll be back soon enough.

Technical problems should be sent my way.
