Hey guys! Thought some of you would be interested to hear news about long-time MZXer Tones, AKA MZXGiant. He and his wife live in Seattle, and he has a job at Microsoft! The last few years he's been trying to work through some serious health issues which included surgery, but he's recovering wonderfully!

<Malwyn> Yes, yes. Don't worry I'd rather masturbate with broken glass than ask you for help again. :(

That's great to hear. Have you kept up with him? Thanks for letting us know!
Currently working on Servo for MegaZeux, I hope to complete it by the middle of 2015? Who knows...

I'm glad to hear this, thanks for letting us know. I haven't kept in touch, but I did hear from him several years ago (2008 I believe) that he had a chronic condition known since childhood and wasn't expected to live past 30 or so. It sounds like he is beating the expectations and that is very good news.

I remember the name MZXGiant but didn't know he had a chronic health condition. I'm really happy to hear he is doing well, though.

I happened to come across this when Wervyn and Puella asked me about MZXCon this year...

I just wanted to say thanks for all the support! It means a heck of a lot to see people from many years ago expressing concern about me after so long. :(

I'm just thrilled to see you looking so well. Also I can't help but notice you haven't actually responded regarding MZXCon. No pressure to come, cross-country travel being what it is, but I wanted to put it out there.
To lie is to change the truth.

......And escape is to run away from the truth.
It is useless to run, since the truth is right next to you.
