Same here. :-)  I'm totaly dedicated to Wraf.  I don't have money to
hire someone. But I will do what I have to just to keep working on it.

And my current work on a small ISP is a good place to be. :)

Exactly my thoghts! In many, many years, I have felt that all the
technology is incredably primitive.  I would love to live in a world
with a real hypertext system.

I read about Artificial Intelligence then I was young. I learned to
program Prolog (describing the world i rules).  I started using BBS'es
and FidonNet and had many ideas about how to collect all the
inspiration from the discussions.  What if we could store each written
thought with the right keywords, we would have a knowledge system that
would be incredibly useful! [1]

I was intrested in role playing games and computer text adventures.
It was a way to thought about ways to modelling the world.

I now see the computers of StarTrek (TNG) as an inspiering
illustration of how it should work.

Ted Nelson is my hero! [2]  And I love the vision of Tim
Berners-Lee. [3]

Still, in 1993, I haden't start using the internet. But I knew what I
wanted to do. [4]  And now I'm determined to to finaly do this thing
so that I can start living in it! [5]
