Some More
Oh, and I got to put together a fresnel light today from spare parts lying all over Bradley. Not done just yet, but its still interesting. I think I have to brand it in some small way so I will know which one was mine. ;P
Oh, and since the site has gone down at least once due to the heavy load, here’s what I was referring to in the poast bellow:

Fellow fans and adventure seekers,
Uru has been quite an adventure for us. After pouring everything we had into our vision back in 2002, Uru Live was abruptly cancelled. There have been several fits and starts since then - various attempts to keep the vision alive. The most notable was Until Uru - a continuation of Uru Live that put its future directly into the hands of the fans. The fans didn’t let us down.
Although the fans were able to bide their time in the ancient underground city and distant Ages, not much changed. There were huge expanses to explore and share, but the full vision of Uru Live was designed to be dynamic and changing - providing new story and places to explore all the time. Now, with some help from our forward thinking friends at Turner/GameTap, we’re pleased to announce that we’re ready to bring Uru Live back to life.
We have been furiously toiling behind the scenes to write some interesting new content that will make its way into Uru Live in the coming months. We’ve also been working on the nuts and bolts - rebuilding our software and servers to clean up bugs and lag and to provide a base for cutting-edge improvements in the future.
This new adventure is not without caveats. We’re smaller and leaner now. We have much more to do with fewer people to do it. But we’re trying to work smart to provide new content that provides fresh new adventure for everyone on a regular basis.
So here we go again into exciting unknown territory. Little did we know that the opening lines of Myst would be so prophetic.
Thanks so much for all of your encouragement and support,
There’s also a press release. I am just totally excited by this! Hopefully we wont have to use the GameTap client to access it, but I guess I could live with that to be able to have Live back again!

PS. StarLogo is angry at me. Somehow I keep using the programming languages for this programming course and finding the one thing that I need to be done incorrectly in the documentation so I can’t use it!
