Ok, net connection is back, kinda. Its down more than its up though. ISP guys will be out next week with new parts to make it better.
Also, funkyshit here has broken his old uptime record, now at 32 days. Doesnt sound like much, but every time he got close to a month, had a brownout or something.
Got the last parts on order for making something for the plotter computer.
This weekend have the ARCC carshow I'll be at.
Still trying to get things worked out on SR3. Source Forge got the account setup, so trying to upload the source, but no binaries yet. I hope to have the source in the CVS sometime today, if my connection stays up long enough.
Have roofers out putting on a new roof, and for that the antenna for my wireless internet connection will be down. So for next few days, wont have a net connection. This will slow down SR3's release – for more info goto SR3 Forums
Also, got the powersupply for making a new computer to control the plotter, hope to have that machine up today.
Last night JasonB sent me the latest copy of the SR3 source to get things rolling on a new release and also to switch things to Open Source. Trying to get it compiled but having issues with SDL. Hope to get it fixed. Also signed up for a sourceforge account.
Side note, the new network card runs great!
Just wishing y'all a happy easter, unless you work at surpass, then fuck off.
The bastards fucked over things and suspended us again. Why? Who the fuck knows. Last time they did it, was due to a fuck up that was THEIR fault.
London, zis is nighthawk, can you 'ear me?
Yeah I know that I've not posted much lately.
New things that have happened.
First up, last week I switched SR3 over from CVS to SVN at Source Forge. Reason for this is because CVS was a pain in the ass, and was constantly having server issues where it was down. Not good. Also on SR3, we've had some people helping out. one guy is working on a plugin to export from blender. Yay! Also, another guy has been helping improve stuff with OpenGL, by adding in things such as Antialaising. Plus, hopefully, next release will include versions for OSX and Linux as well, instead of just telling people its possible and having them roll their own.
For gaming, I played and beat Final fantasy Mystic Quest. Was a really short game, I beat it in the last two evenings, but besides that it was fun and I really dont know why people rag on it so much. Also, another reason to lust for the Wii: Sengoku Action. For those not familiar with it, since its received extremely little press, its a branch of the Koei series Dynasty Warriors, based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but looks to be set in Japan during the same period. Still, running around, killing tons of people with swords is fun!
Well, massive storm is coming through, probably will lose power and such, so I'll be going. Talk later.
