Back around for now

Hey, just dropping a line to mention that I just finished up my bachelor's degree in college. (Also received Summa Cum Laude and Departmental Honors.) Now that I have finished up this particular work I will have quite a bit more time to work on some projects that have been of interest to both myself and to SX as well. At the same time though, I will be looking into employment (I won't go into any further detail as I feel it isn't necessary to go into detail with many aspects of my life as to be quite honest, it's rather boring) so I won't be doing the whole 24/7 availability deal.

With this in mind, I have come up with a bit of a very rough basic idea for one of the main parts of how OFACE would run. In addition to this though, as I have decided to use C++ there is a matter of developing a GUI for it as well. The honest to god's reality is that should I develop this using modern Visual Studio releases, this forces me to use the .NET framework and I do not wish to have such a requirement on that project. I looked into GTK but many accounts have stated that it is not a fun experience to work with. After much consideration, I made the decision to look into Qt for the GUI and GCC 4.8.0 so that I can take advantage of the newer C++ capabilities as some of the boost libraries they have included are pretty good. I will start messing with Qt a bit shortly and looking at if it would be the best solution for this.

Brief Notes

I figure I would make a quick blog post for those who do read this and mention that I have not been able to get much forward momentum on OFACE (I have started writing code for one of the main modules for it, but have yet to look at GUI aspects as I wish to have a strong back-end first.) due in part to real life events. In particular, I am finishing my undergraduate studies which are taking up quite a bit of my time. After this is finished, OFACE will be a priority project that I will most likely be working on during Christmas.

The Future: OMGWTF

Today we are inundated with technology. It seems to me that very little of it is under our control. No I do not mean the machines are rebelling against us despite what you non-functional technology would have you believe. I don't actually know what the fuck I'm talking about. Perhaps I'm envisioning a world where everyone is surveilled by drones, and information is controlled under a hierarchical structure or maybe I'm disconcerted because the so called information revolution has not spontaneously created a utopia.

OFACE: Consumer of Crew Members

Well, looks like I have been asked to take a stab at OFACE by RaT. I have read through the notes about it (Of note being https://www.soldierx.com/bbs/201101/OFACE-Testing?page=2#comment-12597 which makes some good points) and have decided to come to a few decisions.

1. OFACE may benefit the most from being redone from the ground up.
2. The main initial focus will be on a minimalist, effective, and expandable core back-end.
3. The initial focus will be on working with a small number of applications to create one template that allows for OFACE to be expanded in a modular manner by both myself and others within SX.
4. GUI is to be focused on after the back-end is in an acceptable state.

This is what I have seen of this so far and over the weekend I will be fleshing out more details of this with RaT.

Basic Programming Concepts recommendations

At some point today, I am going to try to wrap up the sample code for the Threading section of Basic Programming Concepts. (I prefer to confirm that the samples I do work as I have caught some issues with how some of the code did not display correctly with the java tag.) With that in mind, I figure I would ask what other basic programming concepts should be covered on here. For that matter, are there more non-basic concepts that should be covered on here that aren't? I want to hear from the community on what they want to see as I would like to add something new to this series every other week if there was enough content for it.

Who I was and who I am

I have thought about this quite a bit for the last three weeks now and here's the reality is that who I was and who I am are becoming two drastically different people. In the past, I was a bit of a shithead and I have to face up to it for better or worse. As such, I have worked to diligently make myself a better person. It is not an overnight process and everybody makes mistakes though.

The honest reality is that time changes a person and having a different perspective changes things. I am very proud to have received some great opportunities from SX over the years and I know that for better or worse it is the most enduring part of my life. Not just my life as Amp, but my outside life as David. I owe SX quite a bit as during some really bad times in my life, they have helped me and in some cases I really didn't deserve it. As such, I wish to express my gratitude to the community as it has helped me through the past couple of months.
