Oh Hai (^_^) long time no see.

Well its been a while *blows dust away from the keyboard* my RL has been super manic, and I've been drawn back into one of my old gaming passions: Eve Online (for which I also now write a blog... Eve-Blog )

However, true to my word I still check in the MD forums like some lost ghost of times passed... and recently found that there had been some community work to revamp the MD wiki and more importantly, translate the wiki into German!

Great stuff guys!

It's no secret that a large portion of those that enjoy Manic Digger are German, or German speaking so, for all you people .. and especially to any potential players of that persuasion...

thank 'JohnRambo' from the forums for his work:

In other unrelated news; there is still a massive following or at least massive interest in this game, I'm constantly amazed by the number of ongoing hits this blog gets, and I apologize that my life is not currently very involved in Manic Digger as I once was,  so to help ensure that those visiting here understand that there is still an active community behind this project If you have an article which would be of interest, or use to the wider Manic Digger community, I'd be glad to post it here! contact me at the following address with your proposed article and if I remember / get round to it, I'll post it up (I might edit any submission, but all courtesy will be made toward the writer)

Anyone out there?

Although I personally am very much out of the loop these days, I still keep an eye peeled on Manic Digger, and came across a great 'photo gallery' post on the forums, for those that might not frequent the MD forums here's a link

I'm busy playing other games right now, and RL has been ultra demanding recently, but who know's I may get back into Manic Diggering at any given stage... I do miss the building and such!

all the best,

Hello.. anyone out there?!

let me just dust this off...

Hello Diggers... Manic or otherwise, let me just throw you all a quick bite to eat before I once again dive into obscurity, exe Is very much alive and kicking and still has interest in the Manic Digger project. There are an ever increasing number of people which are forwarding offers of coding assistance.. and an ever growing number of people asking what the 'latest' version is.

I will restate that version tracking has gone a little off the scale for some time now. The releases that cirulate currently are known as 'nightly' releases, literally as new versions are compiled nightly which may or may not include fixed code or updated features... to get the 'latest' Manic digger check the repository here and look for the most recent date.

this thread may help answer some things... or If you have a question.. direct it to the people that know!

now.. where did I put all that dust? I need to put it back over my blog posting computer once more...
