Server updates no longer on SVN

I will no longer be making updates to the server available through SVN. The client will remain open source, but the server code from this point forward will remain closed. The basic server layout is still available in the repo. The reason for closing the remaining development of the server is that most all of [...]

Client work.

The server has progressed to the point that the client needs to be updated to connect and be developed side by side. Been looking at the MXP protocol to see if it meets the special needs I have. It seems like overkill. This protocol will not need to be reused so something simple and throw [...]

A long break

I got a new PC (laptop) so it took me a week or so to get everything going. I’m currently using Ububtu Janunty and Awesome WM atm, and using gnome-blog-post to xml-rpc the posts. Development continues on the mud server, The design document on the wiki. Check the bar on the right side to keep [...]

Revision: 35 lots of new stuff.

A few long days of coding have paid off. R35 is a complete rewrite of the C codebase in python. Not that there was anything wrong with Circle. It’s a very fine game, and a very good start for anyone who wants to study how a multi-player games is made. The lack of real OO [...]

Long couple of days.

Made a final commit to the repo. Everything worked out and SCons is now used for everything. One of the next tasks there is to convert some of the shell scripts to python instead of bash.
Wrote 8000 words in 4 days which I consider great. Far above my expectations. This story is really shaping up.
Added [...]

What I'm watching

After polishing off Stargate SG-1 for like the 4th time I’m going back and watching Stargate Atlantis again. Rodney ‘Fucking’ Mckay is just so super cool… I don’t really like antagonist. The wraith are kinda lame ass bad guys. Oh well, I’ll give it a shot. This will have to do until Stargate Universe premiers [...]

Gondhall Transport, 25th May 2100

New OpenTTD map. Been working on this one in stages. There are no junctions, just one train per line. All of the city center stations are 12 long, and the tracks use tunnels to keep the maximum amount of building space.
The one train per line strategy is really shining in this one. It has a [...]

New Shoes Song!

Well I don’t really need new shoes, but a new PC. I don’t really know which direction to go this time. Newegg only sells the newest stuff anymore it seems. I want something crappy for the most part. Anything that can display flash properly, and browse the web fast. I think I’ll keep my eye [...]

Greatest lie ever told.

I lie to myself. A lot. I was going to post that I didn’t have time in the last few days to make a post. That is a lie. I’m just too lazy to do anything lately. Oh well.

Excerpt: The Hotel

“Name is Wendel Floyd,” an older gentleman confirmed. The balding desk attendant lifted his fingers to the small terminal, tapped out a few gestures, and steadied his gaze back to floyd.
“The room will be free at half past eleven Mr. Floyd,” the attendant said in a small voice that betrayed his stature.
Floyd looked at his watch, [...]

Clear headed. Summer cleaning.

I took the day off from substance abuse to clean my house. I have so much junk I have collected since I moved in to this apartment just a year ago.
I would say I have less than the average person but it’s still enough to make me sad.
More work on one of my short stories.

Again…..

Still no real update. I did nothing today. I worried a bit. Got a little paranoid. For the most part I spent the day watching sci-fi stuff. Been browsing a writing forum with designs on posting something tonight or tomorrow. Still Have a short story with no real direction. Will make sure and get the [...]
