Moving house, again...

Not unexpected, but unplanned for none the less.


We've been moving house 7 times during the last 6 years, so you can imagine...

I'll update this post when I get some free time..

But let's all cross our fingers now so that the next place we're going to live is going to be at least for 10-20 years!

My last blog post here was apparently an overreaction.

I thought all hell would break loose, and people would dig up more atrocities committed by yours truly..

Only it didn't.

I do not take it lightly when things like that happen, but I guess I am overreacting now because of my stressful life:
I am unemployed, the bills are piling up, and to top it all off we are going to move house.


Just FYI.

Due to recent events, I've decided to cease all activity related to my account at the Ogre forum.

I am a bit torn, but I don't want to be put in a position like the one I was put in here.

I made a mistake, but I honestly doesn't feel I need to be ashamed of myself after putting countless hours into the Ogre 3D community.

Obviously, I have a lot to learn about diplomacy.

And, of course: I don't want people to associate whatever opinion they have about me with the Ogre 3D project.

I am now looking forward to utilise my free time to do rewarding things, like actually do some game programming.

Just FYI.


Update:
I will still be around the community, just not officially associated with the Ogre 3D project.
I don't want people to be able to do that. And it's not really important to me to carry a badge.

After more than 6 months in the making, the new Ogre Wiki is now live!

This has by far been my biggest solo-project, and I am both proud and happy to see that it succeeded.

See it in action here: Ogre Wiki

It is almost exactly 5 years ago that the Ogre project got a wiki, powered by MediaWiki, and now it's time to move to the next level.

It is my hope that the new wiki will last at least 5 years, and start a new era if Ogre wiki goodness.

The new wiki is powered by Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware.

This is a mini-guide to install Mercurial locally in your home directory.
Useful if you're on a shared host without root access.

Step One:

		$ mkdir -p ~/.packages/src
		$ cd ~/.packages/src
		$ wget http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/release/mercurial-1.5.tar.gz
		$ tar xvzf mercurial-1.5.tar.gz
		$ cd mercurial-1.5
		$ python setup.py install --home=~/.packages/

Step Two: Put these two lines in your .bashrc and .bash_profile files:

		export PYTHONPATH=${HOME}/.packages/lib/python
		export PATH=${HOME}/.packages/bin:$PATH

Step Three:

		$ . ~/.bash_profile
		$ . ~/.bash_src
		$ hg version

If you were successful you should get a copyright notice and a version displayed.
That's it.
