I remember you.

The only problem is that, we don't actually have a working client or
server at the moment. That basically means that Majik 3D project is
frozen for a while and will go back in to development after I have posted
an announce mail to majik-announce@majik3d.org mailing list to which you
should have subscribed. The announce that we can work again is posted
maybe in few weeks, maybe in few months. At the moment, as all the core
developers of Majik have been employed by Taika Technologies have their
hands full of work to do and thus we don't have time to concentrate on
Majik 3D.

As the project is frozen, there is no much work that we could give for
anyone. The only thing that can be developed while the core developers are
idle is the WorldBook. You can draw pictures there or do world design. Ask
some of the world designers (team.html tells) for more information.

I was computer systems specialist in the Physics Department, maintly 
meddling with large Unix servers at the astrophysics and quantum physics
labs. I was not a physics student myself, in fact, I left formal education
almost right after I had completed comprehensive school.
