Winter break is over - back up and running again :-)
Posted: 2006-01-09, 22:26
Hello all,
just wanted to let you all know that my "involuntary" winter/christmas/new-year break is over now, and that I'm working full-steam ahead on Ca3DE again!
During the last 2 to 3 weeks, I've read many good books (e.g. http://www.awl.com/cseng/titles/0-321-33487-6/), played a good computer game (F.E.A.R.), re-installed the OS'es on my computers (some of them at least), upgraded most software that I use (inclusive the VC++ compiler for Ca3DE dev, separate announcement will follow soon), re-organized and cleaned up the folders on my hard-disks, re-organized and cleaned up the folders in my shelves (the real ones), did a bit of Ca3DE development, and did a lot of other good and fun stuff. I'm also in the process of re-building my favourite internet router and firewall software (see http://www.fli4l.de) on new, dedicated hardware (http://www.soekris.com/), which is highly educative, entertaining and time consuming. However, the Ca3DE public Subversion server is accessible again, and I hope to be able to complete the rest soon.
With all that finally being done, all servers running again, all new software being installed, it was high time today to fully dig into Ca3DE development again, and get all that interesting work continued!
While most of the work on the upcoming Ca3DE TechDemo is done invisibly behind-the-scenes, with a small but dedicated team of people, a great progress has already been achieved in many regards.
I hope that we will be able to at least post a few preliminary screenshots in about a month, and independent of that, I plan to make another public Ca3DE demo release (without the TechDemo, but with all the other enhancements) soon.
