Aw jeez. The RTC is hard, man. Took me months to figure it out. I mean, I wasn't working on it every day for 6 months (or however long it was) but it robbed me a good deal of my free time. Best of luck to you with that. You're gonna need it.
I'm not bad. In case you haven't seen my VM to Vrai, we had our league playoff championship match on Friday against our rivals who, despite the fact that we had beaten them twice before, beat us in the final game of the match. So I was feeling pretty down but then yesterday I refereed two soccer games and made $50 so it's all good (though I did get sunburned D: ).
Hacking-wise, not much has been happening. I haven't heard from Thrace recently about Genesis. Have you? We were making serious progress there for a while but things have really quieted down these days.
