Frozen fro – ‘FO REELZ

I'm putting a development freeze on drm/fro for a while. Reason being is that I'm too busy to dick with this crap, and I need to wrap my head around some things. I know I promised a 111 bug fix release, but I sorta botched that client with an attempt at improving the map xml structure, but got a headache halfway through and quit. And then spent a good few hours contemplating the complete removal of xml maps and using Lua as the primary language for structuring things, but then realized that's a stupid fucking idea.

Anyhow, blah blah blah, drm/fro is on development freeze for a bit. This also means I'm not adding (or re-adding) any additional maps. So I hope you enjoy the library and that theater that was up for like.. what, 15 hours? I could throw that back up, but who the fuck cares. Nobody leaves the library anyway.

Meanwhile, I won't be completely taking a break from this project, but I'm not writing any more gorram code. I've decided to work primarily on the Design Document, something that I attempted a while ago but never actually managed to do. At this point, I have a pretty damn good idea of exactly what I want and what I don't want. And I plan on putting those things on paper (well, digital paper) as clear and detailed as humanly possible, so that I stop having these blocks of "OH GOD WHAT DO I DO" bullshit that I keep getting.

I'm going to try to work with the folks who are already throwing ideas at me on fro, and maybe get input on certain parts of the document, but I swear to Server, if one more person says "LOL U SHULD ADD [insert pointless assed random feature, such as a card game]" I am going to fucking choke a bitch.

And there you go. Now I'm going to go read gorram Accelerando in an attempt to get over this headache, and thus create another headache. But one of awesome. Seriously, this book is amazing, but I barely ever get any time to read it between school and everything else. Speaking of which, Assembly language sucks ass. It truly does. Anyone who says they're "a hardcore programmer" by writing this crap is just a douchebag. Have fun not being productive, asshats.

Also as a side note, I think I've started using this blag to vent my frustration and general annoyances. I don't see the appeal to making this kind of thing into something accessible by the general public, seems like something better suited for a pink diary. But then again, I am a fan of open source.
