I borrowed several things from XDCC Parser.  The biggest thing I borrowed was the list parsing regular expressions code and the surrounding data caching code. They did some smart stuff there.  Other things I borrowed include the styling inspiration, and the whole concept.  I started there, then built the rest pretty quickly.  Iu already fixed one inefficiency in the search stuff.  Code review is always good to have.

The part that I dreaded the most was the stuff I wrote about yesterday—setting up the cron properly.  Each bots are set up somewhat uniquely.  So the cron entries consists of combination of scp and wget.  I’m just too lazy to read the man pages for these things normally.  But it does feel good to have these things finally set up.

Then I had some time to watch couple episodes of Cross Play.  So far, the show is pretty fun.  Kudos to ANBU for the good works so far.

That was the good part of the day.

Lupin vs Conan had some more drama.  All I want is to get this out to people soon.  I don’t need any of this drama.  So some of us decided to really chase away all the fat, get back to the basics, and really re-align the project members again.  It still is creating some minor set backs.  But hopefully, it will be released in the near future.  Stay tuned.

Looking in to the future—Frostii is already looking in to some future projects.  Dogs and Yurumates have completely diffirent look.  They were suggested by Jarin, so she can do couple side projects.  I won’t be involved much in them.  Then there is the theatrical release of Major.  I’ve been asked to translate it.  It should be fun.  But, man, I’m pretty crazy, translating so many movie length stuff.  Then there is Nodame OVA.  But this one is for much, much later down the road – late in August.  I’m not even sure what else I’ll be doing by then.

And finally—this blog is now running on WordPress 2.8 beta.  Fun.

Other productive stuff included finishing off the karaoke for Candy Boy; installing WordPress 2.8 beta on the test-copy of this site (the changes I’ve seen so far are pretty cool); and finally finished setting up cron jobs for frostii.com web site.  The cron jobs are grabbing the XDCC bots’ pack lists.  Now that the crons are properly set up, I’ll be releasing the new version of the bot listing soon.  I’ll write more about it when I finish releasing it.
