I am going to be busy next week and I don't know what will happen. I will have more medical tests performed on me by July 27 and then consultation on the surgery to remove my colon before it becomes cancerous and then kill me early.

On lighter news, I am thinking about putting a new CPU+ mobo and memory in this computer. The mainstream edition of the Bloomfield processor looks pretty nice to me. I think my overclocking days are over with however. The motherboard will have to be off that x58 chipset and it will probably be an Asus. G.Skill memory has been pretty good to me and I will probably purchase 4 GB of DDR3 memory. If you do not know, you can http://www.nehalemnews.com/2008/04/nehalem-faq.ht... it here. nothing is final yet of course. I am keep on the tabs for that however. I'll need to upgrade my hard drive also. Seagate doesn't really wow me with all the clicking I hear. The clicking disrupts me in my sleep.

Work continues on the engine framework. The networking components are nearly done, thanks to my co-worker/friend and I finished up the common library with configuration loading and logging features. Tonight or tomorrow night I should have some time to get the 2D elements back up to par. It's gonna take a couple days to get the UI in there, but I'm doing it right this time. I'm modeling it off of Windows Forms. So in the code it would be something:

VALHARA_UIFORM dialogForm = ui.createForm("DialogBox");
dialogForm.BackgroundColor = BLACK;
dialogForm.TextColor = WHITE;
dialogForm.addCommandButton("Ok", NO_ACTION);

Very easy from an implementers perspective.
