Greetings, living people. I am not dead. I was only sleeping. I'm pleased to learn that people are (finally?) becoming as excited about my non-projects as I have been from their inception. I realize that I haven't been engaged in active communication for quite some time. Believe me, I wish I had spent far more time this past year working on all things Non and Linux Audio. Unfortunately, however, I have been buried under a pile of legal, financial, and femaloidal woes. I can no longer afford to work from home and the long commute is sufficient to drain me of the time and energy I had been in the habit of pouring into my software. Thank you to those who have recently discovered Non and made their appreciation clear via cash donation. For whatever reason people claim to have been unable to contact me; it is true that I have not been on IRC in quite some time, but I do check my email occasionally (although I must admit I have not been following this mailing list). To those who would talk of forking my projects: please feel free to contribute patches and discuss new features on the non-* mailing lists. A leadership role of these projects is a much lighter burden than what I had planned to do all by myself, and I think I can afford the time to apply a patch or two. I still have a lot planned for Non-*, but I can't say when I'll have enough contiguous free time to accomplish any significant development. I continue to use Non regularly, but I'm ashamed to admit that I haven't attempted to upgrade JACK in quite some time. Any compatibility patches are welcome. The setup I have currently is working well. I get to spend a few hours every weekend recording songs in Non-DAW and in the course of those activities I have found very little in need of alteration (aside from the described by my now ancient TODO list).
I wish I could see a light at the end of this tunnel. I have no intentions to let my projects die--for I still need them as much today as I did when I wrote the first line of code. I simply don't have enough time at the end of each day to devote to such complex engineering tasks and right now I'm looking at the possibility of having to take on MORE work rather than less.
