My apologies to all those who have subscribed to the blog so far, I had run into some glitches that prevented it from actually working- making it essentially USELESS.
Please let me know in the future if it occurs again.
Thanks,

After many, many hours of hard work, patience, and love (thanks Dunk!) Proteus 4.14 is finally at hand.
I was hoping to have this up earlier today, however, there were some loose ends, which needed to be finalized before I could post the release.
Please read the announcement in the forums BEFORE you download and install the 4.14 build. It’s great to have this finally be available for everyone!
Hey people - I’d like to introduce myself: My name is Duncan Campbell and I live in Sydney (Australia). I’ve been a developer for about 14 years, and have been hacking Cocoa for the last 18 months or so.
I’m the idiot “lucky guy” who has volunteered to help out with development on Proteus, and to try to get the ball rolling again with regards to new features, bug fixes etc.
I was only handed the source code a little over a week ago. It’s a bit of a crazy mess, and most of my time so far has been spent trying to figure it all out, and see how things work.
Things I have managed to accomplish so far:
The good news: We’ll be releasing a “bleeding edge” build containing these updates at the end of this week.
As I say, things are quite a mess and some time needs to be spent cleaning up the project, and all it’s dependencies before the source code can be opened up and made public - so please bear with Tommy and myself - we promise to get everything up and running as fast as possible (we both have full-time day jobs).
Update: I’m finding I’m not nearly able to devote the time to Proteus development I should. If you are a Cocoa developer and can lend a hand, please get in contact with Tommy asap.
We are currently in the process of setting up the forums (the new site is being re-designed as well), and getting everything ready for our new debut!
It’s taken a little longer than we anticipated getting all the code moved over, the servers setup and the license changed to GPL, but we are almost done.
I’d like to thank Foad Afshari for helping me with moving things over to the new server, providing loads of advice - all of which took both his time and patience. Foad loves proteus as we all do, but sadly he can no longer devote the time to the project that it deserves, so he has passed the torch on to me. I wish him well in all his future endeavors - wherever and whatever they may be.
I’ll also take opportunity in this first post to introduce myself: the name is Tommy Thompson, and I will be the lead monkey on the project. This means I will be involved in…pretty much all aspects of the Proteus projects (and eating lots of bananas).
