Dragon*Con: Part 2

dylan — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 13:39:08 +0000

I mentioned in my previous post, I went to Dragon*Con with Spoony, Possum, and William. Along the way kidnapped Syrra and PB, and all was well. Except for PB shredding a tire on the interstate. Ooops.

There we were, Friday night, waiting on the interstate for a tow truck. Possum fell asleep in the driver’s seat. I fell asleep in the “shotgun” seat.

When I awoke, the sun was rising. The tow truck arrived a little while later. The driver deserves mention. He was a fan of the guy that designed the Aliens in the movie Alien, Giger or something. By “fan” I mean he was covered in tattoos in that style.

PB’s truck was towed to Tifton. PB and I rode in the tow truck, and everyone else piled into William’s car.

Once there, we found the tire place was not open yet, but there was an open restaurant nextdoor, so we decided to have breakfast. Everyone except William — he slept in his car, with the car running. The time was about 7:00AM.

With PB’s tire fixed, we started off again.

openc2e building under cmake

Last night I managed to get openc2e building with cmake. It seems to work on gentoo and debian, and it mostly works on OS X. My current goal is to allow hassle-free building on OS X with macports.

In addition, there are a few problems building on FreeBSD. I have not really attempted that yet, since the only person likely to use a freebsd build right now is me.

Windows building should be greatly simplified.

Creatures Community Archive Project

Fuzzie prompted me the other day to start archiving / mirroring Creatures community websites, so their content will be preserved for future generations. I have around 600M of stuff downloaded so far.

Please feel free to add to the list of things that need to be archived.
