Hi All,
I know I've been MIA for a while (thanks to those who noticed and reached out!).
Throughout 2025, I began to lose interest not just in OS/2, but with a lot of my other hobbies (including java programming for openHAB). At the same time, my general mood deteriorated. This all came to a head in September when I was diagnosed with quite severe depression. I'm now doing a LOT better, but it has been a rough 5 months. At this stage my ArcaOS box has been powered off some time - I think the last thing I built was something for Lewis back in September.
I cannot say at this time if I will return to ArcaOS - what I can say is that I've finally started enjoying extending some bindings for openHAB, and learning more about Java - so there is hope!
Just wanted to give the community an update.
Cheers,
Paul
Hiya Paul!
It's REALLY sad to hear you have/had depression. It's a tough beast and it needs to be addressed carefully.
Being no doctor myself I will not waste your time in useless (and stupid) advice. It's just great to hear from you again.
I truly hope you will find some light - you well deserve to be fine and happy.
Of course, I hope I'll see you again in this forum beating the cr*p out of Qt and other ArcaOS related software 8-) but first and foremost: stay safe, get well, be happy.
Oh and, should you ever come to Pisa on vacation, please oh please let me know - my spoken English has surely become rusty but I still would love to get to know you!
Hugs from Italy.
