It's Been Awhile!

Hello everyone!
Lordy has it been awhile. I doubt most of you will remember me, so much has happened since I was last active it's hard to even summarize it.
First, I would like to apologize for my failure to bring the 3D Battlemech Chess Game to Fruition. Shortly after embarking on that project, I lost my patent to Volkswagen, my company that it was founded on had to close, I finalized a divorce, gained full custody of my two children, filed for bankruptcy, and moved 4 times since the last time I was here.
And now, I'm typing on a computer I had to build from components pulled from the recycling bin at work. Currently in the process of installing Mechwarrior 2 again. It's my first PC that I've had running Windows in many years. All previous work/net access was through my Macs and iPad (of which only the iPad remains).
I work full time as an SCO Unix/Red Hat administrator over roughly 463 IBM Servers and various Point Of Sale systems. It does not leave a lot of spare time for play, but I'm trying to reclaim some of my past life.
As far as the Chess Game, I actually did get a rough layout in Unity working with a single model/animation, it's sitting dormant on my old iMac's Hard drive in a box. And by "rough" I mean, board with walking routine. No where near playable. I would still very much like to finish it, especially since most of my time is still spent on my iPad.
Enough of over-personal reintroduction aside. I'm really happy to see this site still active, if not slightly dormant/void of active users. Raddick I see you're still responding. That's good.
I hope to become more active as time permits. I'm also registered/lurking at MechwariorOnline (mwomercs.com) now, I hope to see y'all there!
