My wrists are still too bad to work for any meaningful length of time. It kills me to think of what I could be doing on RF2.

Yes, I am probably going to have to do that if it gets any worse.

Andy, don't hurt yourself! Go see a doctor, get yourself a wrist brace, and by an ergonomic keyboard.

You > RF2

I use and recommend something similar with this for the wrist,which is seperate from the mousepad,and you can place it further or closer to the mouse.

You can go to a wood warehouse and cut a solid wood sheet like the shape in the pic and screw four feet underneath it.

First measure your forearms lenght,then measure your maximum chest width (wearing winter clothes)
and cut a curved hole in the mid of the board.

It is important the weight should go to the elbows-not to the wrists.

Thank you very much for all the information!

Well, I'm going to be visiting University of Advancing Technology on the 17th and 18th to attend an event with sample classes, so I'm going to stop working on RF2 entirely until then so that my wrists can heal for the classes. If anyone happens to be going to the same event, I'll be there.

Hi. Mr A. and Mr P.

Pepole keep asking me about whats happing with RF2. why I dont know :?:

Its always what happing, hows it comming a long. I keep telling them its still 1 1/2 years to go.

this is it, it would be nice if you could do something like this. http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/development.html

and to get them off my back :)

P.S. whats this I hear about maybe python will not be the script engine.

The Python thing is an experiment with Squirrel. There's no concrete decision, and the only way we'll change is if it's crucial for performance or if it would result in faster development in the long run. It may, it may not. We have to evaluate it; not trying it would be irresponsible.

I wish I could give good news about my wrists, but I can't. I can stay away from RF2 development and development in general, but try as I might I can't stay away from computers. They're as bad as ever, perhaps very slightly better. I'm going to have to ask a doctor what to do. I don't know where to turn. It's thoroughly annoying that I can't pursue what I want to do.
