Wow. So it looks like there are some people starting to follow to what I'm doing with dbagg3, and they're showing me how woefully prepared I am for the attention from tinkerers who are actually trying to, you know, run my code. Things have been crazy busy for me at work, so I haven't been getting done what I've planned. But, I do need to pull a few things together and clean a few things up. I'll soon be answering the smattering of email I've gotten so far, but until then, a few quick thoughts:

So, in the meantime while I straighten some things out, please excuse the mess and thanks for bearing with me!

So it looks like there are some people starting to follow to what I'm doing with `dbagg3`, and they're showing me how woefully prepared I am for the attention from tinkerers who are actually trying to, you know, **run** my code. Things have been crazy busy for me at work, so I haven't been getting done what I've planned. But, I do need to pull a few things together and clean a few things up. I'll soon be answering the smattering of email I've gotten so far, but until then, a few quick thoughts:\r\n\r\n* My source control is a bit of a mess at the moment. Not only have I [switched from CVS to SVN][svnswitch]-- but even if you followed me in that migration, I've not kept committed code in working order. I already know that this is a horrible habit, but since no one's really been looking, I haven't been called on it until now. (Heh, heh--d'oh.) Planning this weekend (but hopefully today) to resolve this, so that moving forward, svn trunk will be (as far as possible) in a working state at any given moment.\r\n\r\n* I've hacked one of my dependencies, SQLObject, by applying [a patch][sodistinct] to support SELECT DISTINCT queries. This has understandably caused problems for some people who have no idea what I did. This patch has turned out to be essential, though I don't know if/when it will or would be included in a release of SQLObject. So... I wonder if I should dump my working copy of SQLObject into source control? Otherwise, applying the DISTINCT patch to your SQLObject install should work.\r\n\r\n* At some point very soon, I want to change the name of this thing to **feedReactor**. Yes, I know there's already a *feedparser*, and a *feeddemon*, and a *feedburner*, and someone's probably got a *feedkitchensink* in the works, but I like this name and want to run with it.\r\n\r\nSo, in the meantime while I straighten some things out, please excuse the mess and thanks for bearing with me!\r\n\r\n[sodistinct]: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=9122066\r\n[svnswitch]: http://www.decafbad.com/blog/2004/09/16/moving_time_from_cvs_to_subversion\r\n\r\nshortname=dbagg3mess\r\n\r\n
