Hmmm.

Because I can.  I played Uplink, made some comments to myself, and decided to something about my comments.  During v1 the players were great.  It was a lot of fun to hack each other and watch them scheme against each other on the forums and in IRC.  A whole quasi-community was formed within days of the opening of the beta.

v3 will have corporations and other fun stuff.  Factions can form corporations and compete against other factions for stock, research, and control of servers and mainframes.

Four computer types, OSes with different features and built in software, lots of software.  Lots of hacking.  Lots of little things that make it harder than you'd think. :)

Thats all I'm going to say about the game itself.  You'll have to wait and see what is ahead.

And stop bugging me for an exact time and date when it is going to be done! Image

Nah, not really.  I read a few of it but a lot of it wouldn't actually help gameplay.

SQL is a touch confusing (but I've not used it much)

Yeah (my)SQL is weird when you first start.  With each project I use it with, though, I use more and more powerful features of it.  It is an amazing piece of software.
