Project Inferno
I should be updating CVS hopefully this month. Currently, CVS is about two-three months out of date from where I am.

In the mean time, look at the Sourceforge.Net Project Page for Shadow Conflict. How many projects do you know of that has a logo in the project description?
Computer Names
I name my computer Infinity, no matter what reincarnation it is. If and when I get a second computer, it will be Absolute.
Shadow Conflict and Project Inferno
Well, the secret project I wasn't mentioning is on hold; I've gone back to working on Project Inferno to work out ideas to see if they can be possibly applied to Stratagus. Most likely, I won't be able to, but at least the ideas will be worked out.
The new system is a group of six Xeon-based computers, all equipped with very fast RAID disk systems. Compared to the old system, which is two ancient machines with an equally ancient disk system, its blazingly fast. The switch over was supposed to have been done in August, but due to unforseen delays (including late hardware delivery), its taking place now.
About 40% of the projects have been moved to the new system. The old system has been having problems because its not suited to handle the load. If you get an error of...cvs [login aborted]: unrecognized auth response from cvs.sourceforge.net: M PserverBackend::PserverBackend()
... its because the old CVS pserver is hitting max load, and is trying to limit connections.
Connect (Connection refused)
Sourceforge.Net provides a free and very useful service to the open source community, and people who speak ill of it, in my opinion, are idiots who shouldnt look a gift horse in the mouth. For many projects, including my own, they wouldnt exist without Sourceforge.Net.
Shadow Conflict
The secret project is continuing along fine. Hopefully soon, I can unveil its existance to the world.... maybe in a few months.
Jobs
I give up! Job hunting sucks, especially when done constantly for 2 years straight. Id rather work on Free Software thank-you-very-much.
Alleyoop is a graphical front-end to the increasingly popular Valgrind memory checker for x86 GNU/ Linux using the Gtk+ widget set and other GNOME libraries for the X-Windows environment.
In other words, its quite cool. It makes using Valgrind quite easier, and makes development work much faster. I wish I knew about this program earlier. Too bad it isnt packaged in Debian. Oh, and you Debian users who want to use it, remember to apt-get binutils-dev for libiberty first.
Shadow Conflict
Im shifting direction in what I want to do with Shadow Conflict, but hopefully I will meet the 0.1 deadline in 5 months with... something. Yup, Im keeping that under wraps.
However, I wont be officially mentioning anything on the website until its confirmed my new ideas will fly.
Job, where art thou?
To work, or not to work, that is the question.
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
Shadow Conflict and Project Inferno
Up, still working. I may infact hit the 0.1 release date 5 months away from now.
Jobs
Still dont have one. Still looking for one.
Not only does it fuck up spam filtering systems that dump mail based on if its coming from a valid host or not, its costing some companies millions of dollars. And really, I would rather Microsoft and AOL get the money, instead of VeriSign. I urge sysadmins at ISPs all over the world to block the SiteFinder website.
iRATE
iRATE has download resuming now! No more being left out because you're on dialup!... Okay, really, Im the only dialup user on iRATE. -_-;;
On the whole, iRATE is shaping up quite well. CVS has a different download metric, one similiar to "Download files until X files are unrated". The only major thing left for it is Vorbis support, which, for some odd reason, isnt high up on their todo list. Go figure.

Yup, still looking for one.
Shadow Conflict and Project Inferno
Yup, still working on it. Im still trying to aim for the 0.1 release in 5 months, but I probably wont make it.
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.
