Maintenance

Hey guys, I’m doing maintenance on the Subversion repositories and some other things on the server. Our server’s space has been upped from 20 GB to 231 GB!! No, that is not a typo! :) So I’m cleaning out the server and making everything neat and tidy so we can start making use of this space! :)

SVN Support

Okay, well yesterday I did one of the dumbest things in my whole Computer Expert Career (:P). I had just finished implementing the Preserve Score feature, and I realized that my whole ‘environment’ was at C:\Desktop\instagib. Yes, C:\Desktop, I created a folder called Desktop which was to act as my back-up Desktop folder for huge files, and I never moved it back. So all was going great yesterday, just great. I even started to read up on how to make videos so I could record a video and convert to avi so that you guys could check it out. Anyways, so while I was doing all sorts of other things, I decide to drag my whole instagib folder to the desktop, so that I wouldn’t have to click the shortcut continiuosly. It says that one of the files are being used by another program so it couldn’t finish the transfer, and so I click okay. And since I always copy those types of things instead of drag, I had thought it was a copy, so I delete the folder on the desktop thinking it’s an incomplete copy. The stupid thing was that I did the whole thing over again, I tried to drag the folder, got the error, and re-deleted the newly partially complete transfered folder. I’m then kind of stressed out at the error, not that I deleted the source, because at the time I hadn’t realized I was deleting the source hard copy. And since, being the efficient, organized person that I am, I Empty the Recycle Bin. Halfway through the process, I realized everything in a split second and click cancel, but it was already too late. I tried various Recovery programs, but the attempt was futile. So now I’ve re-installed myself with a source archive I luckily burned onto a CD two days ago, so now development is two days behind. I’ll have to re-implement a couple things such as:

-preserve score
-remove unnecessary media
-remove media registers (blood, gib)
-rename cleanq3 > tip
-create tip logos

Anyways, now I’ve got SVN (Subversion) and it’s working great. I’m completely new to it though. Check out the repository here [ http://svn.jorgepena.be/websvn ]. Anyways, gotta go.
