Swamped
OK... I've complained enough about not having enough to do, so it's nice to have a lot to do - maybe even a little too much. I've been very busy these last few days keeping up on the coding I wanted to get done as well as keeping the production and UAT systems happy. It's a lot to keep going, but it's a goof kind of tired.
One of the interesting things I've been working on is the data model of a general grouping structure - a tree, and operations on that tree. It's all in C++ which is the preferred language for this application due to it's computations and multi-threaded nature. I have a lot of control with the pthreads as well as complete memory control which is really going to help as things scale up to very large datasets. It's another component of CKit and it's coming together quite nicely. I still have to do some work on a concrete subclass that populates itself with data, but that's not too bad, really.
Other than that, I'm waiting for updates to Desktop Manager for Mac OS X as well as Unison and a few others that I'm hoping improve quickly. Also, I've got my eye on the 1GB modules for my 17-inch PowerBook which would take it to 2GB RAM. When they get to be $250 each, I'll probably pick up a pair. Wild how the desktop of not so long ago is the laptop of today.
