| P King Duk: |
So how's the smoothing going? How's my latest release work?
|
| JohnCartan: |
Smoothing is still vaporware. Your latest version worked fine... until I tried to
resize the window. Crashola!
|
| P King Duk: |
Predictable; I just don't understand that stuff yet.
|
| JohnCartan: |
Keep at it. You are making steady progress (which is more than I can say at the moment).
|
| P King Duk: |
I also haven't really looked at that code in years. Maybe I will be able to fix it.
|
| JohnCartan: |
That's the fighting Nicholson spirit!
|
| P King Duk: |
The "maybe" part? Yup. What should be tops on my "to do" list?
|
| JohnCartan: |
All I can think of at the moment is bulletproofing your Alex program.
|
| P King Duk: |
Any projections for smoothing algorithm delivery?
|
| JohnCartan: |
I may get a chance this weekend. I HAVE been thinking about it.
But for the life of me I can't remember what we came up with.
Does Alex do color?
|
| P King Duk: |
I won't have color till Robert returns my video board; he says this may be soon.
|
| JohnCartan: |
Ah. I've been having a blast doing color interface
stuff in Oracle Card. I'm a color convert!
|
| P King Duk: |
Also an Oracle convert?
|
| JohnCartan: |
Yes and no. It has some definite advantages over
HyperCard: color, network/multiple platform, and
draw and paintobjects, plus a better tool bar.
But it's also based on HyperCard 1.2 (not 2.0) and is
flaky around the edges. Not as reliable as HyperCard.
|
| P King Duk: |
If I'm home this weekend I'll convert the world generation to Object C,
then look at bugs.
|
| JohnCartan: |
I'm finding that the combination of color and a
screaming fast machine opens up whole new worlds.
|
| P King Duk: |
Are you running 2.1 yet?
|
| JohnCartan: |
I THINK I'm running 2.1. Aren't I?
|
| P King Duk: |
You're asking me? I just noticed that my new system (7.0.1) requires HC 2.1.
What kind of machine?
|
| JohnCartan: |
Some 486 contraption with a turbo something or other and 20 megs of ram.
|
| P King Duk: |
OHO! So this isn't even a Mac?
|
| JohnCartan: |
Sad but true. They claim they'll be giving me an Fx
in a few weeks. There are Quadras all over the place.
|
| P King Duk: |
Any other Alex discussions?
|
| JohnCartan: |
The only thing is developing a better journal. Some kind of groupware.
Any further ideas?
|
| P King Duk: |
Hmm... It frankly doesn't seem that important to me.
|
| JohnCartan: |
Time to fade. Expect a tape by the end of next week.
|
| P King Duk: |
Right. Bye.
|
| JohnCartan: |
Adios!
