As you probably know, hpcalc.org hasn't been updated since September,
2007. I searched this group for "hpcalc update" and couldn't see any
discussions about it. Does anybody know when Eric will be posting new
programs?

Regards,
Bill

Hi Bill,

I could be wrong, but I think to remember someone talking
about another long journey to some Asian country, maybe China?

Regards

Raymond

India, actually.

But the funny coincidence is I am preparing an update now. I have about 30
programs in the queue, and expect to see them online within a couple days.
I know it seems like a small update after so many months, but the truth is
that very few people are developing anything for HP calculators anymore, so
there is little need to update frequently when little is being created. If
you want to encourage me to update my site more often, you should write more
software. :)

Also expect to see some improvements to the commerce site soon. I've been
doing some development but don't want to make anything public until I have
tested it more.

Regards,

Eric Rechlin

That will be good news for some, including me. I have a few ready and
quite a few coming to the boil. :-)

The truth is, I haven't left yet, so I can't use that as an excuse, though I
was out of town for about a month since I last updated my site. I am not
sure how anyone got the idea that I was traveling, as I don't recall
mentioning it to anyone here, so it may have just been a lucky mistake. :)

I will be gone for a couple months but hopefully that shouldn't have much of
an effect on anything.

I prefer to update the site in batches (if you look at the recent history,
you will see I typically make 10-30 updates at a time), so updates will not
increase in frequency unless development of new software increases.

I am open to suggestions on things I can do to make the site work better.
As things are now, I don't receive much feedback; for example, the entire
"interactive" part of the site (comments and voting on programs) was
completely broken for about a year, but only a couple people ever even
mentioned it.

Regards,

Eric Rechlin
