Brief Update

This is a brief update just to make sure this site doesn’t die like I predicted it would when I started it.

I haven’t posted anything recently, largely due to depression. And I’m not doing much better now, but at least I can actually work on things, which is a significant improvement over the state I was in last week. Which is good, I suppose. I’ll start posting here properly when my lives sort themselves out.

So, things I’ve done since my last post:

  • Cried a lot. :(
  • Started a new project-type-thing, phpsimcaps. It’s a library that allows you to interact with sim-caps using PHP. So far it can only request map layer data and upload sounds and textures. I’m having difficulty getting ImageMagick to convert to JPC at a decent quality though – any ideas? Also, animation upload isn’t going to work until I’m in the mood for working out what LL are doing to the animation to make it play properly. (Currently you can upload animations, but they won’t play back). I might make a separate post about this some other time. Maybe.
  • Upgraded my server with the extra RAM and HD space it needs (no more random segfaults or disk space errors, woot! :D )
  • Improved my stats site in order to make pages load much faster without putting any real load on the server. (Compared to having to locate and average tens of thousands of numbers every visit)
  • Thought about life, got depressed, and sat in a corner doing nothing. And I went to school sometimes too, where I sat slumped over my desk doing nothing.

So that’s my update for however long. I’ll post again when I feel better.

    Sometimes depression goes away when you get busy. If your depression is there because you’re too busy, you can always go to the movies or to some random place where freaks use to talk and stuff :D

    And when you are depressed, make sure you never ever do ANYTHING a Global Kids staff members ask you to do. Just kidding!

    Seriously, I haven’t been on your blog in a bit and had no idea about the struggles you are having. When I am down I try to make connections with people, which often, at the time, feels like the hardest thing to do. But depression likes nothing more than being left alone to be depressed.
