That makes me > sad. I plan on working on it more. Sometimes projects are like that. They can get more confusing as you go on and try to rebuild the execution model in your head, especially when dealing with a language like C++. These things cannot always be anticipated at the beginning. Like Ludo said, communicating early and often can be a real time saver in situations like this. On the plus side, you did manage to get a deeper understanding of the daemon code than most of us who rarely venture onto the C++ side. Your understanding of what has been implemented already and what still needs work is very valuable in driving the project to completion in the following months. I hope school won’t erode your internal model too quickly. It would be great to see more progress for which you’ve already laid the foundation. Thank you! -- Ricardo GPG: BCA6 89B6 3655 3801 C3C6 2150 197A 5888 235F ACAC https://elephly.net
