ewxA couple of LOTR reading rehearsals in the last 7 days. I need to get more inside the head of the characters I'm reading, people aren't supposed to sound cheerful when contemplating their own probable death.
LNR's Dad made a flying visit this evening - just long enough to take us out for a curry and deliver nice cookware as a late Christmas present from LNR's sister. On which subject LNR will be away visiting her family from tomorrow to Sunday.
I've been busily rewriting DisOrder in C. It's going quite well. I'd originally intended to upend it lots but leave it in Perl as part of the process of adding various new features and improving performance, but in practice it looks like rewriting it is going to be easier.
Work has been quite busy. Still mostly bug-fixing this week but there's also been some coordination with another project and getting a sub-project which was getting dangerously close to dropping through the cracks back on its feet. The former was full of trivial but annoying hurdles, the latter easier than expected.

Date: 2004-02-18 04:50 pm (UTC)I have a very specific (and specialised) application in mind, though, and it would need a generalization (I think, from the little I know) of a part of the code. At the moment, it's driven via CGI, I think (please correct me if I'm havering, it's not deliberate) - would it be possible to write alternate clients to plug into DisOrder in the place of this? What I have in mind is a client, running on a different machine, sending commands (over the network) to DisOrder: this would make it a very interesting option as a playout system for radio.
If I was more confident in C, I'd have a look myself; maybe this is the excuse I need to actually sit down and try and learn the language properly!
