Haven't had it up today myself. Have been trying to get linux working, then I'm going to try Darwinbots 2 on linux, just for the hell of it. Hoping to get slightly increased performance for IM.

Linux is a good OS, but too much fun to get up and running. It is not stupid proof. I do not even want to touch it. Not yet anyway. I have a copy I can get free WiFi with, but am afraid to touch it.

Oh I don't blame you, this is like one of the few times I've had the urge to install it again. This laptop is crap, so with Linux it runs a bit smoother.

Plus I had Backtrack on a USB stick to get me some internet on the roam, and now they have Kali Linux that you can install, which unlike Backtrack has a lot more support, and is basically just Debian pre-packaged with 300 "security tools".

http://www.kali.org/

Last time I used Linux it was nice, but not this nice, so it has sort of lured me in with its siren song.

Plus I hit my cap, so there's that :D

You'd actually like it Botsareus, it's probably the next most secure system after Tails. Comes pre-packaged with Truecrypt as well, would solve all your hacker worries because you'd have all the tools to check if you're being hacked right at your fingertips. Linux now is at it's friendliest point ever as well.

That said I'm terrible with Linux and can't use any of the tools very well. Even getting the damn thing to dual-boot last night was a nightmare. Had to reinstall GRUB, and get it to work with XP. If I had windows 7 a program can do it in 2 clicks, but no, I had windows XP, so I get eternal hell instead.

So I'm reading over the wine installation procedure, and scanning the forum right now for anyone who has had problems/solutions before I dive in.

That looks more than sufficient though to do it through wine, which is fun.

Well I can always reboot into XP if I get frustrated.

Aren't you using XP Botsareus? I think i saw it in one of your screenshots recently.

Really? That's from me. I thought nobody else was online, cause I keep getting back my bots Randomeye and Shapehater.

If you're alone you shouldn't get your own bots back. It should only give bots back from other users.

I see. It's mostly no bots on the server right now though.

Edit: I shouldn't have said that. Got over 1500 bots now with my sim down to 0.2 cycles/s.  :P

Would it be a idea to let the server actively 'cache' some bots? Hoard them when a lot come in, save them for quieter times. Currently it spits it out as fast as possible.

That's not a bad idea.

I think the randomize feature you just implemented should solve that problem.
Do not over-think this stuff Peter.

That really doesn't matter much if there barely is anything on the server.

The big bot backlog on the server earlier was due to a bug. Not likely to happen normally.

Did everybody get cold feet after the fruit fly pandemic a couple of days ago? I don't see anyone else online.

I'm online right now. Have been fiddling with linux for a few days, it was hell.

So I'm back on XP and running some IM mode.

Are you newbie? Don't forget to check your internet options everybody!

Here Fruit Flies took over for a while, but then Capsule and Capsule_3 made symbiotic clumps with Alga_Minimalis_Chloroplastus, and just weathered the dynamic costs until only a few flies were left.  :D
