When I was paid to do software development I had to use things like IE 6 and
C#.
Now that I am retired (read busier than ever!) I do all my software under
Linux - mostly Python of C++ - unless I am "hacking" some pre existing code.
I am inspired to wonder how had this would be to add the deb to a repository
and make it really easy to install?
It might get a lot more attention from the Ubuntu community that way, I
usually check the Ubuntu Software Center for a package before I look
anywhere else!
I will definitely try your new release out once I have finished with my
virtual world demo at for a sci-fi convention next weekend (Coppercon in
Mesa AZ). I'm sure i will pick up a few obscure bugs too - I seem to have a
talent for that. :-)
The link to my demo is: http://mars-simulator.hobby-site.org:9000/wifi
