                     JOURNAL FOR SUNDAY 17TH MARCH, 2013
______________________________________________________________________________

SUBJECT: Lost time & moving forward
   DATE: Sun Mar 17 16:43:02 GMT 2013

The week before last I was up to my eyeballs in PHP and last week I ended up
with my machines busy rendering - as in ray tracing. This might seem odd as
I'm not really an arty person, but I can do 'technical' drawing. This time I
was rendering some logo designs using POV-Ray. I really like POV-Ray - which
I've used on and off for many years - because I suits how I work. I create the
model in my head and then create the scene files by hand. I could use a 3D
modelling program - POV-Ray is just a renderer - but I don't.

That's my excuses out of the way, what am I doing now? Well I've been taking
stock of current WolfMUD development and it doesn't look good :( The last time
I push out code to the public repository was December. Which seems a bit odd
as I was sure I pushed out the crowd changes I made. The last local commit was
January. Currently I have a lot of little changes and fixes as well as the
record jar changes uncommitted.

So firstly I'm cleaning up some patches and committing the smaller fixes and
changes which I will push out today - with the crowd changes - to the public
development branch. Secondly I'm trying to clean up the record jar changes so
those can be committed and pushed out as well although they might take a
little longer.

Will post an update later when patches pushed out.
