Continuing from last week, one of the other things that caused us to rewrite the code was how to connect up everything so that they can all know about each other and who was in control. What we ended up doing is making the communications module control everything.

I've decided that I will start writing more of a blog type situation here of the trials and tribulations of developing the project. The first thing I'm going to discuss is what has been happening just recently.

We've had this problem a few times already. How to do the config files, how to log, and more recently I got a bit bored of implementing server side commands so I started looking at how I want to start doing the client. The issue: What library do you use, or do you write your own.

We just moved the configuration and runtime flags over to using the libboost config stuff. Seems to be working much better than before, and we don't have to deal with some stupid library that no one knows about and isn't in all the distribution repositories.

Well just an update about the progress of writing code. We've gotten all our modules rewritten, there's still quite a few tests that need to be written, but we are finally back to getting some progress done.

Helps to have time to work on it. Thanksgiving slowness at work is helping.
