Some times the code just comes and some times it's like pulling teeth. The last couple of weeks have been a 60-hour a week dental visit. TODO's go up on the whiteboard twice as fast as they come off. Some hours I only manage ~10 lines of code; many hours there is no code.

I think things are loosening up now:

$ find last_corengine -type f | wc
    238     238    9642
$ find corengine -type f | wc
     94      94    3736
$ diff -r last_corengine/ corengine | wc
   1978    7201   56717

It's a pretty massive cleanup/rewrite. I don't like introducing discontinuities, but some of the work I had to do just couldn't be done stably -- which means that tonight will be my first test of a lot of that code. It's amazing how liberating it is to undo the bullshit hacks put in back when "we need[ed] feature X for tomorrow's sales presentation."

I also had to go ahead and let the old CVS module die so I could reorganize the directory hierarchy. When the files are in their places CVS works great. When it's time to reorganize CVS bites ass (I suppose it's time to check in on subversion again). I'll probably just keep the old CVS module in a CVSWeb for archeological interest, once I get to the point where CVSWebs are the highest priority items (ah, 'tis but a dream).

Anyway, that much closer to the first open source CorEngine release (sorry for the long build-up). I'm looking forward to actually using the new version to build its own websites.
