I'm writing this as I ride the special bus to work today.

I've been busy lately... with life.

I haven't posted substantially in a while.

like an idiot, i managed to cut my foot last night. the circumstances are utterly laughable.

I just beat Half Life 2 (“squared”, if the 2 stylized as a superscript means anything).

I had an interesting bug with eventos that I think is worth sharing.

The post name is a reference to an older post on a similar topic.

I originally started writing this MUD on Linux.

I was talked into playing Mabinogi the other day.

One of the rules of coding that I try to abide by, both at work and at home, is always to have a reason for doing something some way.

Snooping is a feature that most MUDs have, including mine.

This post is going to document in prose how the command and interpreting system currently works.

I ran into a problem with loading the other day that I felt was a shortcoming of the design.

Aside from fixing tons of bugs with various things, I've been working slowly on Eventos, which are events, as you might have guessed.

I complained for a while about the difficulty I had in coming up with a satisfactory solution to loading various types of objects from XML area files.

So yeah, I took a break for a while.

I believe I mentioned before about really wishing I had pointers in Ruby.

Someone (Kirill) told me today I should post occasionally about the overall status of the MUD, as in, what features are in, what's blatantly missing, and such.

You may have been wondering where I've been for the last month or so.

This is actually an old post that doesn't display properly on my old blog, but which I feel has relevant information for this one.

Disclaimer: this is entirely not in keeping with the general theme of this blog.
