So, been a while since I've done a update, so I have a few things for you guys.
First off, Eloraam has recently(read: less than 16 hours ago) released Redpower Prerelease 5, which amoung a number of things, includes a fully emulated 6502(?) processor(block). It has 8k of inbuilt memory, with external expansions that can bring that up to 64k. It runs a custom operating system(made by Eloraam, ofc) and can be programmed in FORTH; but there's no reason someone can't write their own operating system. Again, its fully emulated, so its completely possible to write a enterpreter for any language, and even use enterpreters that already exist for FOURTH. It's output is a text-screen, and 16 bits(in the form of redstone) per bus, 128 bits if you don't want to reuse bundle colors, and virtually unlimited bits if you do. I'm also fairly certain it can be used to light fires if you run a hcf.
A new mod, Thaumcraft 2, is easily one of the most polished mods in existence. High-resolution textures, smooth animation, particle, and sound effects abound. It isn't a polished turd either, it includes a multitude of unique items and mechanics to play with as well.
We plan to ask the developer of Thaumcraft 2 to join the development team once he is less busy with Thaumcraft 2, and once we have more to show than under the hood work.
And finally, seeing as our music dev has apparently quit, I have taken up the job! Thats right everyone, I'm no longer going to be a cancerous lump on the dev team's back, I'm going to do something!
