The Old X

What to do when internet is down

So, for the record. I was going to release X-Perl 2.3.5b on Sunday.. However, at around 1130 in the morning on Sunday my cable modem died it's final death. The ISP engineers told me 'Friday'... "wtf" I thought.

In the 36 hours I was offline I did a bunch re-coding to the buff display (no, I really didn't have anything better to do apart from mow the lawn or stop the kids fighting).

Luckily a friend had a spare modem kicking around that works. Now that I'm back online, I have some hairy code to debug and get working between raids and sleep. Adding the various options to all the frames etc.

It's erm... 80% working atm. Just needs a few more options in it and a few quirks ironed out.. It's that old target frame thing. Variable sized frame, wrapping. Double buffs meaning you can fit 2 lines of single sized buffs after it... You know, lots of if that, do that, not that. when that. not on tuesdays. Ugh..

So.... to quote noone in particular... "When it's done".
