                  JOURNAL FOR WEDNESDAY 12TH SEPTEMBER, 2012

                     If you want time you must make it."

Listen ...

  *POOF*

That was the sound of my spare time in which to work on WolfMUD disappearing.
As penance I intend to put other things aside this weekend and concentrate
wholly on WolfMUD...

  *PING*

The imp of impedance appears, lurking around, intent on foiling my best laid
plans and good intentions...

So ... when I do get five minutes spare I've been cleaning up and improving
this website ready for the WolfMUD website relaunch.

It also got me thinking about how to host the code again. I could host it on
github or Google code with package imports like:


  import "github.com/diddymus/wolfmud/entities/location"

   - OR -

  import "code.google.com/p/wolfmud/entities/location"


I could host it myself:


  import "code.wolfmud.org/wolfmud.git/entities/location"


The whole point of this is to make getting, installing and running WolfMUD
easy. For instance by executing:


  mkdir -p ~/WolfMUD
  cd ~/WolfMUD
  GOPATH=~/WolfMUD go get code.wolfmud.org/WolfMUD.git/...
  cd ~/WolfMUD/bin
  ./server


This should checkout the WolfMUD git repository into a 'src' directory in the
current directory and then build everything, you then change to the 'bin'
directory and simply run the server.

At the moment this is in the 'needs more work' category as I haven't got it
working quite right yet.
