Hadn't checked in on these losers in a while as I have been working on something more important outside of the HA arena. Not up on my MH mail either. Sorry to those who requested bits and pieces of my version (primarily the Web interface), but I just don't have time these days to oversee merges like I did with the first few "customers."
It's been almost a year since "my" version was released (quotes indicate that the merge got all fucked up by Matt Williams and then twiddled with for months to make it seem like he contributed something.) Looks like nothing has happened since. Certainly it was the update of the year. How many more years do you think this teetering crock of shit has left?
A few thoughts on recent posts:
- One of the usual buffoons mentioned recently that there was no way to extract MIME attachments. How soon these monkeys forget. That was one of my major improvements that never made it into the archive. That was near the end of last summer and dumbshit was busy ruining the X10 support and had me locked out at the time. And of course, there is email_motion, which has a typically mh amateur-hour example.
- Speaking of email, Tim Sailer was spotting trying to support internet_mail.pl. Christ on a crutch. The end is near. All that. And when he couldn't help, genius-boy chimed in that it doesn't work, but perhaps a new acronym would help, it's one we don't currently support, but maybe somebody, somewhere has written something, etc., etc. What a couple of fuckwads.
- And mother-fucker if somebody didn't ask AGAIN about CM15a/Windows and got ignored. WTF?! This latest example was particularly ridiculous as they asked about Insteon in the same breath. The one response that came back addressed Insteon only. Hello? I wrote a complete API-based (read: not a hack) Windows treatment for the CM15a last Fall. Why are these idiots so hell-bent on fading into oblivion as the last surviving CM11 app?
- I can't believe I saw a Windows user complain about mh_sound and volume control. My setup put that code through its paces with lots of different voices with varying volume settings, chimes, etc. And I ran the DJ constantly when music was playing. It never left the Windows mixer in a bad way (as opposed to all of the previous versions of mh, which fouled it up every time.) So it looks like somebody screwed with that file since or the repository-genius blew the merge like he did with the tk display code.
- And of course, MH is still married to the ridiculous IA5 Web interface, a full THREE YEARS and counting since I replaced it here and over a year since I started to prepare MH to use my version. In the meantime. that dumbass who wrote the shopping script has managed to make it even more frameset-dependant (as documented here in an earlier post.) Things don't look good on that front as last I heard somebody was pitching Flash as a viable solution. No need to panic as I think that was another Brent DeShazer-like effort (big announcement with screen shots and/or movies, followed by nothing at all.)
Anyway, the good news is that while I have been working on this other project, I have put my MH server back up and when I get around to it (or whever the SVN people get around to creating my project repository, whichever comes last), I will post my updates as incremental updates to 2.102 (just like I tried to do a year back.)
