Wedge

It's very simple:

For people that only speak one language this will be almost useless (with the exceptions Fargo was pointing out) but for people who use 2 or more languages in our day-to-day life (as me for example) this is just brilliant and a "must have".

Dictatorship is not the same as leadership.

I will never follow a dictator (being born in Spain in the 50's I have a lot of experience about that) but I am very happy to follow a couple of good leaders with a strong vision.

<PRV> I normally use veetle.com and/or SopCast to watch things like the NBA, important Snooker games, etc, but haven't seen in any of them any Dr. Who episodes.

Anyway, following Arantor's suggestion I have found this page:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/dw

So for a while I will try to watch all the episodes archived there until I catch up.

That was my point in the first place. The sooner they release 2.0 the sooner I get an alfa.  :eheh:A little risky if 2 or 3 of us are playing with it at the same time, straining the software to the limits trying to find if it would break somehow. No one would know for sure who broke it and when. (But a good idea if we just make sure that it's only one of us playing with it at a time). (And with a good security copy of the DB stored somewhere  :eheh: ).

After waiting for so long I don't mind to wait a little longer and do things properly. (It's a lot easier to find bugs when you have the code at the same time you are playing with the software).

And anyway my main concern just now (apart from looking for bugs) is the anti-spam security.

My theory just now is that (with all the new implements Arantor has done in the code) we won't need to change my anti-spam mods in SMF and convert them into Wedge plug-ins.

Maybe I will do that anyway some time but just as a practice exercise (to learn how to create Wedge plug-ins) but not as a real necessity. (Maybe good only for "too paranoid" kind of people).

Anyway, to see if this is true or not, the only way I have is to check it in a "real life" forum. That's it: to create a test Wedge forum and send to it hundreds of thousands of different spam-bots and hack-bots and see if any of them manage to get through. (And maybe create a few more logs to see exactly what they manage to do and what they don't).

The big difference is I am desperate to play episode 3 but I don't really care when they release 2.0

Mmmmm wait a sec. The sooner they release 2.0 the sooner I can get a Wedge pre-alfa or something similar ain't it?

OK, forget what I said. Valve time and sm.org time ARE the same.

Me neither. If you are reading this forum you already know about it. LOL

Actually I think this is the only forum where I haven't got "Wedge" in my sig (apart from sm.org of course, where I had but they kindly asked me to delete it).  :eheh:

Agree to that.

That's why since you said some weeks ago it was OK to spread the name "Wedge" every where I have been putting links to it in all the sites I control.

As far as SMF I have deleted the picture and link I had in my signature as Pete requested, but I am still thinking on adding one on my mods. I am working on updates for the 2 of them (mod httpBL and mod Stop Spammer) and they are used for a lot of people.

As far as I know they haven't done "yet" any new rule about it.  :eheh:

Going back to what you were talking some time ago:I definitely like more Arantor's approach.

I won't learn if you do the work for me.

Well, I can learn watching examples of finished plugins. (Reading the code and seeing how it has been done). I can even learn from the "bad written ones" (I will learn what things I need to avoid) but I definitely always learn faster (and it gets better into my mind) if I do it myself. Making my own mistakes and learning the hard way how to do things properly.

If you can spare some time (whenever we are ready to start modding) to work with me (not doing my work, but supervising what I am doing and correcting me when I take the wrong path) I will end up learning faster and doing a better work.

I think.
