I'm Finally Back!

Yes, thats right - I am finally back in action. My family and I are finally situated and I should be able to get back to work on past projects. I’ve actually given some time to work on Demeter and I am currently trying to fix problems caused by the upcoming Safari 4. This will also help to backtrace the terrible problem of the browser crashing when closing a tab while it is still loading flash objects. Flash under the Safari 4 WebKit crash Demeter entirely. This is due to the many, many hacks the Shiira devs used to add special functionality to Shiira 2 (most of which is now officially supported by WebKit on its own). Pulling all this out and leaving any function may be a tall order as a lot of the standard features of Shiira (Demeter) are built around having to use these hacks. This is why development has stalled - do I continue to work with code that will almost have to be completely rewritten, or do I start fresh with my own code from the ground up? I have a lot of ideas for where I would like Demeter to go, maybe now is the time for a fresh start. Post your comments in the forum and let me know what you think.
