Shifting Target Once Again

Ringmaster

Today did a git pull on the Broker that another guy had done a significant re-write on, and ended up spending the bulk of the day changing my code to update it so that the broker client and service parts are working again. It's not ideal, but I can understand all the reasons for the changes, and it's nice to see these kind of things happening. Every system gets better with a re-write - by talented people, and so the system, it's protocol, and capabilities are just getting better.

The consequence is that I have to spend a day doing a pretty significant re-write on my own. Thankfully, my code is pretty clean, but there were still a lot of changes due to the way the protocol changed. In the end, I found a few little issues with the Broker, but those should be easy for him to fix.

Tomorrow is back to testing the ticker plant query system.
