Hey All,
I would love to be able to start one of these without feeling the urge to apologize, but I'm sorry for the time inbetween SOTPs :). Between starting a new company and the holiday season, it's been a busy month. I've been doing a bit of work on PubComp each day, and am working on getting a feature map laid down and everything up onto GitHub now that I'm at the point where the architecture won't change.

In other news, I'd like to thank and welcome Dranairean to the PubComp team. Hawkeye has been having computer troubles, and Dran has stepped up to help us make an awesome CvP. Thanks to everyone who signed up!

I received the news today that ESL and Cadred both dropped support for TF2. I realize that makes a good PubComp system more important than ever, and hope the community will continue to support the development as we move forward. Thanks again for your patience, and I'll talk to you next week.

Happy Holidays,
Parable

Hey everyone, some mixed news today. As some of you know, I've been heavily involved programming for a startup that's been taking up much of my time. This past week, my client and friend who was the founder and visionary behind the project passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. Along with my personal sorrow at his loss, it's certainly shaken up my business a bit, so this past week has been quite topsy-turvey.

The upside to this tragedy is that this coming week I'll be able to devote most of my time to finishing PubComp's long overdue release. Although I haven't had any time to play TF2 recently, I'm hearing that a system like PubComp is increasingly in demand, and I look forward to connecting with community once again to make sure it grows into the best system it can be. Other than time for a few social commitments (Turkey Day is coming up, after all), my door will be completely open for anyone who has questions or wants to help, all week long. Just contact me on Steam or Skype.

Whew! Feels good to get some time again. I was finally able to crack open my dusty dev environment and get back to it this weekend, making some progress on fixing some pesky login/session sharing related bugs, as well as furthering my goal of getting the dev environment ready to go. I've got two things left to do: secure the realtime environment, and get Barncow's logging system triggering the correct rcon commands to the server. After that, I'll push up the dev environment and we can get testing started on the real servers.

That means that this week, we're going to start moving forward again. Devs, I'll be contacting you individually to start gathering info on your availability, as my time will still be somewhat limited, and I will absolutely need some help to push PubComp to launch. I will be making a couple hours available every day I can over the next couple of weeks for those who would like some one on one tutoring/assistance in getting their own development environments set up.

I'm going to get back to it, feels good to be back :)

<3,

Hi all! Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween. I just wanted to post and say we are still on, my work has dragged on another week, but things should be calming down by next Friday, at which point PubComp will be reorganizing and meeting to move forward.

All the best,
Parable

Hi Everyone,
This week, same as last week, I'm still in the middle of a time consuming code sprint for my consulting business. Thank you so much for your patience, we'll be rockin' and rollin' again soon.
