Okay, long story short, Pablotron has a new home, @Home is a +steaming load, and Snow-Man is +my new best friend. He's now hosting both Pablotron and Pablotron +DNS. I'm so grateful I even put his logo below my sidebar ;-). +It might take a few more days for the DNS changes to propagate +everywhere, but pablotron.com appears to work correctly for most +people. +

+ +As for the site, most things should still work correctly. The tetrinet +rankings will be broken for a bit while i rewrite the CGI, but I'm not +going to rush that. AFAIK, noone even plays tetrinet anymore :). Also, +the uptimes and stats aren't going to update for a while until I +rewrite the scripts. +

+ +The new version of GibMeet includes +plugin support. A few reference plugins are included with the +newest tarball, and you can grab the ones made by +Richlowe and +koudelka +right here. You'll need +PLib version 0.1.2 or better ain order +for GibMeet to compile. Speaking of PLib, a few people have reported +problems compiling PLib; specifically, undefined references to db. +I'm not actually using the db wrapper at the moment, and I'll probably +disable it in the next version of PLib (pending a rewrite). For now, +do the following to disable the db stuff: + +
+ +Before anyone emails me about it, yes i know autoconf could take care of +this madness for me. I'll get around to it :). +

+ +As for development stuff. The CVS version of PLib has a new dynamic +resource loading API. In it's simplest form, you simply do a +data = p_resource_get("urltype://url_parameters", &len) and +PLib will find the correct dynamic library, load it, and pass your +URL off to it. Note that the URL isn't limited to things like http +and ftp. I plan on adding support for things like SQL and XML, so +you could do somethign like +PList *list = p_resource_get("mysql://pabs@s3kr3tp4ss:db.pablotron.org:\"select 1-5 from News where (Title like '%snow-man%');\"", &len); +or whatever . Anwyay, this is still a ways off; right now I'm working +on the ftp, http, and shttp modules (all of which will probably be +implemented with libcurl +(the only sane http library I've found -- thanks +[Bb]o[wr]is.* ;-) ). +

+ +Oh yeah, Tom Gilbert renamed +Gom to +Gozer due to a name +conflict (I need to do the same soon with PLib. :-( ). For those of +you using Rollover, you'll either +need to upgrade to CVS, or edit the rollover.pl script manually (just +chnage all occurances of gom to gozer and you should be okay). +

+ +Okay, that's all for now. Thanks again to +Snow-Man for helping me out. +If you have the time, don't forget to drop into #e (on +OPN IRC) and wish +Schmoo a +happy birthday. + -- cgit v1.2.3
