Not alot is going on today. Made up a few decals. Ikcerawag told me that the new system for trannies is working, so SR3 should handle more than a three speed now. Also just got finished updating packages on funkyshit.
Really the last thing we need to do before release is to get the cars sorted over to the new version, and in order to do that we need to fix the convertor. It's not translating the placement of the camera, so its going to 0,0,0, which is staring at the dashboard.
Today was at a wake for my Uncle that just passed. I guess you can call it a wake even though there is no formal funeral. Man, was fucking nuts. Some of the people there should be swinging from trees… No manners, no intelligence, uncouth. Kids running around screaming. Tattoos all over the place. Women wearing primarily mullets, and the kids either having buzzcuts or mohawks.
Afterwards, dove straight into SR3's source. Got a convertor done up for moving things to the new format. Also fixed the crash after the race, as well as a few others bugs. Things are really starting to move along.
Found out what was causing the shutdown in SR3, fixed it, but have a bunch of new bugs now. Will work on them later tonight or tomorrow if I can.
The good – Got some cool stuff on the way, like parts to get the plotter going again. Also got SR3 to compile. Plus the carshow sunday went pretty good. Few other cool things going on but don't want to jinx anything.
The bad – SR3 compiles, however crashes when you goto race, the net connection has been spotty, arm and leg hurts, and sunburnt all over from sunday.
The ugly – just had to restart Funkyshit. Tip for the wise, do not loop network shares. On each of my machines I have shares setup to see the my home director of the others. Well, while looking at funkyshit's shares on monstershit, I accidentally loaded up monstershits share. Samba on both machines locked up, and on funkyshit was so bad that it turned into a zombie. 37 days, 4 hours, 10 minutes.
Also, still have people bugging me for SR3. One guy I had talked to about 14 hours ago and asked how it was coming along. He just now asked me again if I had it ready for release. DO NOT BUG THE PROGRAMMER! It'll be released when its able. I'm working as fast as I can on it. Things are running better, but still not as good as they should. If I keep having to field answers, thats less time I can work on SR3.
Tonight I have the car club meeting.
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.
