Work

Works going ok, I'm still working on creating the data extract files on the mainframe. I can't get clear specs out of the users therefore I can't move on. Pretty much just tweeking code right now.

Suroden

I have a meeting tonight with my Lore team. They're my two good friends Alajondro and Scrullenplast. There doing everything creative, I'm just hacking at some code. I'm almost done with Stage 1, I'm going to hopefully finish it tonight. I have to add the Command class and then loading the commands at startup into a map and then test the heck out of it. Stage 2 will be even more fun. The world will be read in using XML and player files will be read and written in XML. I have to add in more commands like navigation between rooms too. Also in Stage 2 will come passwords for MUDders and creating a new character. I need to find an open source encryption package to use. I'd use the standard crypt() command but it's not as portable as I'd like it to be. Then comes some basic security for players so people can't waltz in and type shutdown whenever they want.

Life

All is well, self confidence is up 20%, productivity up by at least 40%. Last Sunday I did 17 miles on my bike, Monday was 18 miles with a 7mph head wind. Last night I helped out my old boss install Windows on an ancient laptop. He was having trouble getting the cdrom(PCMCIA external) to work under DOS. I also got lots of tips on investment from him, he's a cool guy.
