Re: [Themis-dev] Status of Themis

[Fredrik <fr...@mo...>]

New to Themis .Have worked on Quake1 port that started by aiXplosive some
changes in Quake3, have some project by my self but never finished, card
game called Spiderette, genealogy program was thinking of making a clone
of the game risk but didn't hade the time. Tried BeOS when R3 was new for
the first time but didn't know c++ then. Working as a programmer in C#
today (worked as a data technician when R3 was new).

Oh nearly forgot I have made some updates of Transmission but my last
changes haven’t been integrated and Transmission after 0.82 are
broken due to libevent not working in BeOS/Zeta/Haiku.
