                     JOURNAL FOR SATURDAY 11TH JUNE, 2016
______________________________________________________________________________

SUBJECT: Back on task
   DATE: Sat 11 Jun 23:44:13 BST 2016

I feel guilty. Recently I've been distracted from WolfMUD. First there was the
'editor' distraction where I had actually started working on building a little
editor. Prior and since that I'd also been unwell and found it difficult to
concentrate and found myself easily distracted. Did I really want to squander
precious productive moments on WolfMUD or my own editor?

I, probably more than anyone, want to see WolfMUD progress. I want to be back
to the stage WolfMUD was in before the rewrite of the rewrite. The editor has
been carefully packed away and shelved, for now...

The client and comms code is being cleaned up some more to make implementation
of the frontend drivers easier. This is allowing the already written frontend
driver code to be cleaned up and reworked as well.

In other news I've been using the new Go 1.7 beta 1. I've not noticed. WolfMUD
does not have a huge amount of code yet but compile times have halved. From
about 4 seconds down to 2 seconds on an Intel Core i7 860 and from 6 seconds
down to 3 seconds on an Intel dual core E1400 Celeron.

The Raspberry PI Model B rev 2 has gone from 52 seconds down to 31 seconds for
a full WolfMUD compile.

Also, thanks to a generouse benefactor, my personal desktop has been upgraded
from 2Gb RAM to 4Gb RAM making testing of large numbers of clients easier :)

Only a small update. At least I'm focused on things that matter to me - and
hopefully others - again.
