OK, we've all had some time to play with LF and the new LDD now. I think it's time to try and compose a clear, well-thought-ought "dear LEGO" letter explaining whatever seems to be in the way of this being a successful program. It may be that LEGO (...)

Honestly, I sorta lost interest when I couldn't get any feedback or help from Bricklink - that was the lynchpin in the system and without it, it was tough to make much more happen. Of course, that (...) (19 years ago, 29-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.inst, FTX)

I like acronyms...anyways... I'm working on BrickSpace, and now BrickFire. Also trying to learn C so I can write my own FPS and RTS, but that's a bit longer term. Right now, I'm wondering if among our fine ranks there are any of you who are modders, (...) (19 years ago, 29-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.gaming, FTX)
