Peter is tired of being called "Mr. Chen", even so certain individuals insist on it. No, he's not chinese.

Peter has seen lots of boxes you youngsters wouldn't even accept as calculators. He is proud of having visited the insides of a 16 Bit Machine.

In his spare time he ponders new ways of turning groceries into biohazards, or tries to coax South American officials to add some stamps to his passport.

Beyond these trivialities Peter works for Klippel[^], a small german company that wants to make mankind happier by selling them novel loudspeaker measurement equipment.

Smile | :) I'm feeling better thanks.

I've dealth with several issues over the past few days in light of what happened last week.

1) I learned that I'm not yet ready to get involved with this project. I'd rather join up later on when it has been decided what's going to be built and how. I'll look in again when the excitement has died down a little.

2) I really don't want to get involved with a win32 project. I was hoping that whatever project grew out of this would have need of a Linux port. Smile | :) Not looking that way with all the .NET suggestions (although I haven't gotten around to looking up mono recently), and the GUI libraries.

3) The biggie, though, is that I learned I don't really fit in around here. *sniff* *sniff* Smile | :) I don't have the CP loyalty that all you folks have. I'm all for using the right tool for the right job. As a site dedicated to helping people write better code, CP is terrific. I spend most of the day here. CP, is not, however, a site for managing a large-scale project like this. And rather than getting Chris to reinvent the proverbial wheel, I feel it's more efficient/productive to find the right tool and use it as best we can. If that means going offsite, so be it. If that means that someone needs to learn how to use CVS and SF, so be it. If that means we give up our beloved DHTML forums, so be it.

Anyways, sure I've moved on. I don't like to hold a grudge - it's too destructive. But I've expressed my opinions on how this project should progress, and it's clear what I suggested is not what you want. I can live with that, but I'm not interested in changing my opinion simply because other people tell me I should have an unconditional loyalty to this site. I'm content, now, to sit back and see where you take it. You've done surprisingly well so far - I'm impressed.

Once it's decided what the target is going to be, and if there's need of a port, I might be around to lend a hand.

If not, no big deal really. I have a half-dozen other hobby projects on the go at the moment. I'll survive. Smile | :)
