Microlog 1.1a

Greetings. I have a couple of things to cover here so will get right to it.

1. Microlog 1.1a: It was pointed out to me that for all the tricks that it did, it was missing the basics of proritizing log message a la Info, Warning, Error. This has been fixed and is in the new code dump here:
Microlog 1.1a

Plus some forward-looking statements…

When you start a sabbatical like I have you think you have the eternity of time to get done what you want. Well now it seems that it is time for the sabbatical to end and for me to rejoin the ranks of the employed.. What this means is that my time will no longer be mine to use as I please. While I cannot put an exact time-frame on things, I am expecting things to be occupied within the next 45 days. This means I need to wrap up several projects PDQ. As for the main projects, here is where they are, were I think I can get in the time I have left and the abilities is each:

1 The BIG project. I have the micrologger done and 45% of the IPC system done. In some ways I wanted the IPC to be stand-alone for use is in other pojects but ran into the basic problem of: An IPC system needs someone to talk to and the module loaders need some way to communicate or they are not going to work well. So. While I was going to split the distributed project into IPC and module loading as separate projects, now I find that I must roll then into on. Consequently the next release of this will be the module loader along with the IPC system so the modules can intercommunicate. In other words the next release of this will contain both. An initial set of modules will be released to do the analysis outlined here , The Problem. Then as time goes forward I can just swap out the modules to make the string search smarter and I already have some ideas for that.  Once this is done. it will be a minor task enlisting armies of machines to do the analysis work and come up with better solutions faster, the point of the game. I have the IPC stuff coded and the module loading going in a separate project; need to meld the two and this part should be useful…

2. DVD Metabase: I am going to push out a new version to cover version 0.94 of Handbrake though I will be supporting version 9.3 (AVI + Xvid) for now. This will happen RSN. To be honest, the reliance on x264 and MP4 has has positive and some very negative impacts on the project.. Therefore the use of 94 will be there for those who want it and I will maintain a code-drop of 93 on my webserver for those who don’t.

3. The C++ version of EZRip and the plugins….it is in progress, has some ups and downs and if I don’t get some help on this could take a while b/c I am getting some rather dodgy results from using libdvdread3. PM me offline for specifics.

4. I will probably be making some upgrades to CMakeWizard shortly since GCC 4.4 has produced some irregularities…I know what the fix is but not sure how to gracefully make it work with all versions….meh.

All of this will be done in the next 30 days. No pressure….

Me to you

EDIT: I must have been seriously tired when I first posted this entry due to the mistakes involved…sorry folks, all should be well now…
