Delayed Projects

This semester has turned out to be one of my busiest ever. I'm only taking 12 hours of classes, the minimum I can take, but they all schedule stuff to be due at the same time. As a result, my projects have fallen to the wayside. After graduation, these are the things on my To Do list.

Crack-Attack

The ENet code is working, but my Windows build environment was trashed again. Webb and I need to package this up and get it out of the door. What's most frustrating about this is that the code is 100%. It's really just the packaging that's screwing us, but that's turning out to be the hardest part.

Gajim

Nkour seems to have left the Gajim project, leaving me without my mentor. I still do what I can to keep up with the notify code. When I finish, I'm going to be working on connectivity with NetworkManager and also make the connection errors non-blocking. They'll appear through the notification-daemon, and not go away until you click them, but won't stall out the whole application! This is a must.

Railsvine

I need to get back onto this project. It's an online character database which behaves very similarly to Grapevine. This is about 40% complete, but the roadmap ahead is obvious. I still haven't given some others access to the code base. That is a bad thing which I will correct in due time.

Jabber Status Bot

I've wanted to do a jabber bot for a while, and I've finally come up with what it can do. I'll connect the bot to information about the Status of characters in the LARP that I play at. This way characters can query somebody else's status at almost any time!

I'll probably do this in Ruby or Python. I have yet to decide if I'll handle it as a D-BUS service that connects with Gajim, or just have it as a standalone application or daemon. If I do it as a daemon, I think it will be more useful to others. OTOH, I know how to hook into Gajim and this will keep me invested in the project.

Look what made it to the "mainstream media" (yes, I consider Yahoo News to fit into that category):
