Someone asked about the product pages of Paradise of the Frog, there are manuals and info there, and of course are they still available.
They can not be bought from us at the moment but new products will be developed and the existing ones will be supported in the VSCP project.
In 1992 I lost everything. My company went bankrupt and me and my family lost everything, our house, our savings, yes the lot. We have had hard years since then and I have tried all ways possible to come back. It has not been an easy journey, neither for me nor for my family.
So today we got an opportunity that may be the path to get back into a normal everyday life again for me and my family. We now have a chance to be part of a national debt reduction system here in Sweden which means we can come out new and fresh after five years. Become ‘normal’ people again.
Sadly this means I have to put Grodans Paradis AB to sleep for those five years. One can think this is contra productive but it is a fact and something we have to do. Only God knows if I have the strength enough in five years to bring it back to life again. We have to see about that.
So the modules will not be available for sale anymore. At least not from Grodans Paradis AB. That sadens me more then I can say. The site (and the operation) will go down sometimes tomorrow.
It is important to note that the VSCP project will not be affected by this.
Thanks to everyone that have bought things, helped to get things bug free, and believed in the mission of the frog.

At the same time the work with the user interface is forming our French team member, Jean-Marc Beaune is working on a maintenance interface for the VSCP databases.
I am definitely not the right person for ux design work. I have been an embedded programmer and a driver programmer all my life. But still I am currently working on the VSCP user interface, and despite my background, it definitely comes to life. In the above picture the remote variable interface is shown. DM handling. User handling, event sessions, device boot load and driver load, reload will be part of this interface. In the end hopefully all functionality of the VSCP works tool will be available here to.

We today got a EUR 50 donation from Gediminas Simanskis, Vilnius, Lithuania to the project. Thank you Gediminas!
Besides the money, which is very much-needed to keep this project going, with servers and all other stuff that needs to be held active, the belief in the project, from an other human being far away, which a contribution like this is a proof of, is worth thousand and thousands times more than the actual money. So this is big.
I thank you Gediminas, and all other people around the world, that decided to support the project. I send this thank you from the deepest rooms of my heart. You will never be forgotten and for me your unselfish action is the proof that there actually is good in the world after all.
