Full throttle

So far so good, managed to burst through my weekend todo's hehe. Completed my work for [SAS], got time to play a couple games, did the setup for ticket and documentation management needs on a personal project. Plus I've been aggressively moving ahead with the [SAS] Dept. of Agriculture map for SWAT 4.

All this while upgrading my laptop >_>.


Remaining to do with The DoA, is setting up the access from the outside spawn on level 1, to the window breaching point up on level 3. I've completed the relighting and half the general cleanup of the building, so the only big task: redoing the AI. I plan on setting up an interesting little "Scenario", hehe. If I could, pushable barricades would be a nice touch but I've yet to figure that out in SwatEd.


Most of my time has been spent on the Encapsulated Package Installer (EPI) project. We now have a forum, issue tracker, and wiki system going. Things are not moving as quickly as I would like with EPI, but the past two weeks have advanced rapidly on infrastructural issues. When our new systems are more established, I'll likely make references to it here.

Overall, the highlight of my weekend, has been (at long last) getting my invitation request to Google Wave accepted. So far it seems to be coming along well, but I have almost no one to wave with at the moment lol. The ability to invite 8 others came along with it; most of which I've mentally reserved for a few close friends and a couple for good uses. The main downside of Wave, is simply that e-mail and traditional IM systems have been around a really fraking long time; so it's an uphill battle. One that I expect the world is not quite ready for yet, although it is very much a technology in the direction of our Internet future.





I've even found the time to migrate most of my gaming related pictures on to the WWW! The old home directory is getting thinner ^_^. Another thing I've gotten down, is transferring Live Journal entries from November 2008 to this Blog. I really need to pick up the pace on that. As much bother as it is, one thing I really do like about this migration procedure, is it gives me the ability to organise my old entries using lables; walks me down memory lane, and helps me to find 'useful' posts that were forgotten.


Life is busy, the serious issue is advancing forward quick enough for my tastes... rather then being bogged down and omni-tasked to death. My family is good at doing that.
