Taking a very long, needed break...

Sad to hear that man. Want to thank you for helping me out all those times and for creating such a sweet app!

I would like to say a big thank you for the outpouring of support that I have received here on these forums and on Facebook, for the cards and letters I have received in the mail. Providing services for you all for the past several years has been my greatest pleasure, and I just want you all to know that I reciprocate that respect and admiration. Unfortunately with all of my surgeries here as of late it has been almost impossible to keep up with my day to day life, and the burden just seems to be getting harder. However, inasmuch I do have good news to report, after one more final surgery I will start to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Within one year, I should be more or less "back to normal." I will be going to therapy constantly, to improve my vocal performance (not singing, talking) and a few other things.

Which brings me full circle and I am further saddened when I must write this; effective immediately I will be unable to support any previous applications written, produced or designed by me. I will no longer be able to devote myself to making the website a better place, installing updates or adding in new content and features. Aside from the new FTP system (due out any day now) I will no longer be developing anything, which leads me to another thing.

A year ago I had the wild ideal of a synchronization utility that could unite all of the media available to HyperSpin and EmuMovies, thanks to the help of BadBoyBill, Circo and JHabers this dream was realized and HyperSync was born. HyperSync has been my baby over the past year as never a day has gone by where I have not tinkered with it, improved it, or added in new content. However, at this time I feel that I must inform you all that I am actively looking for someone to take HyperSync into the future for me, as I have just lost the motivation to work on it. If you are a highly experienced C++ developer and are interested, please feel free to message me in private regarding HyperSync; but I must warn you, I will be very selective whom I choose to take the reigns, as HyperSync requires a massive dedication to the program and the community to work on. I don't wanna leave it all behind, but this is one time where I feel it necessary to do so.

So, thank you all once again friends; and as soon as I am better, I promise I'll stop in and check back up on you all.

Your Friend,

Rain.

Have all of your api's etc been shared and put out there somewhere?

I am happy to read you are also looking for someone to pick up where you leave off as well. So many people make departures and their projects and wonderful code go with them. Should you take as much time as you need be it a year or more you can be confident it all lives on.

Hypersync is in a wonderful place where it is. You could continuously dedicate your time to making it perfect but what it is today is more than the community could ask of anyone. We will be juuuuuuuuuuust fine with what we have while you recover, I only wish you didn't need that kind of medical support and surgery which debilitates ones life like that.

Thanks for all you have done for us, and I wish you the best!
