    Lets see, i think this is still on. :)

    After some urging from Dingo I've finally gotten around to throwing Enthral
    up on github. https://github.com/M-griffin if anyone is interested. It's still lacking the data files and build instructions. When I get some more
    time I'll fill in those blanks if theres any interest.

    I haven't touched much in the past few months, however the more I go over the code the more I have a desire to rewrite it all and reorganize everything. It's been mainly a large learn as I go type of project with no real plan to organize it in the past. I know better and as time permits I plan to rewrite and reoganize the program with a much better structure into something much
    more managable and easier to maintain and expand.

    Cheers!

    Yup, it sure is!

    Right on.

    The fact that you have interest in programming for this hobby is enough for me my man. You keep up the good work on that front, and you'll always have me to check it and test things out for you. :)

    Regards,
    Nick

    Yep, it's been a while since I spouted out rewrite! :) The way to learn is keep rewritting your crap till it's no longer crap.. hehe

    Thanks for the Kind words Nick. It's been a struggle.. Keeping focus and the desire to work through all of the little tedious things can be maddening at times. In the end though I still learn alot more working on this stuff then i do anything else.

    I'd love to get into web development more, like node.js as other stuff, it
    all seems just a crazy mess to me though and hard to get started with a good understading of the API and how to go about making it do what you want it to
    do properly.

    Either way, my big goal will be to try and get UTF-8 going with full internal support and switch over to SQLite for data with XML for menu and settings.

    Hopefully with this as the base it will be more expandable with other interfaces like web, or even custom term clients.
