I'm so over it!

Just recovered from the "XP Antivirus" virus - but you really never know. We had been virus free f0r so long, oh well. I'm currently testing Ambush over the internet which is a wild environment even compared to Windows. I'll let you in on the fun soon!

Almost There

Well I think I've found a light weight implementation of the jms that works over the web. I'm using some open source s/w called ubermq done by Rhombus Technologies. Its just about ready, really!

Just got back from visiting relatives in Spokane. It must be something in the water because I've come to the conclusion they are all psychopaths over there. I also choose my words very carefully!

Slowly getting there

I've put up the latest version of Ambush for the web but it still only works on a machine with an application server (I'm told it will work on a local network). I was horrified to learn after using JMS (Java Messaging Service) that it doesn't work over the internet. This means another layer has to be added or a switch to a another networking scheme.

Words

Words form the fabric of our thoughts. Essentially we are what we do and say (as long as we do what we say). Each thought has a biochemical reaction but what causes us to think a particular thought?

One person with a single idea or thought can change the world. It can be for the better or not.

I think that this game I've been working on for 16 yr (not continuous) could be bigger and better than chess. The game is Rithmomachia and our version of it is called Ambush. The web version is close to being ready so stay tuned. It will take this mindset to make it happen.

In windows vista (home premium), one can switch between users except applications have disappeared (closed) when you get back. These guys have had a long time to get it right but what the hell they're going backwards.
