The question is what is he not doing.

Why does Matrix release information give him the title, "Lead Designer and Programmer"? Lead of... 1?

Great news about the update, thanks Erik

Ok, it's 5AM here in the UK. I had some coffee at about 7PM last night and I've been wired ever since. I never drink coffee unless I absolutely need to. This was a big mistake. It's gonna be a long day at work tomorrow.

It's very rare that I have coffee nowadays. I mostly drink green tea.

The update needs one more day, so I will be releasing it here as a public beta tomorrow (Saturday). Sorry for the additional delay.

Regards,

If the delay came in order to fix all the issues picked up by Elliot in his last raid in the tech section than it's more than ok in my book

Or, I guess its evening time US if its Matrix not Eliott who control when its posted.  Either way, I'm ready for a late night

Status: offline 		Thank you, Mr. Erik and Mr. Elliot!

What are the probabilities, I wonder, if in the most unlikely event , some last moment nasty crash bug (or worse) should appear... of course then the 1.5.0.5 beta could not possibly be released today or indeed any time soon...

But no, alas, such a dreadful, fearful, and terrible perspective cannot possibly happen... right??

Oh, we loyal and dedicated players of this wonderful game are very patient, and would gladly wait and wait, until 1.5.0.5 is ready to be released... we have all the time in the world... patience is a virtue, and good things come to those who know how to wait. Now, if I only knew how to wait, hehehe
