Jay McGavren's Journal

OK, I’ve been playing around with Ruby’s YAML library, and have confirmed that I need to take Procs out of Zyps. YAML has no problem serializing a Proc, but the moment it tries to load it again, I’m hit with:

Error: allocator undefined for Proc

This is probably why things blew up when I experimented with setting up a server with DRb (which I believe sends YAML over the wire). Everything was fine until I created a creature with a Behavior. Never got a real error from that, though; it just locked up.

:::sigh::: Too bad, Procs are such a cool idea… I should probably be blaming the YAML and DRb libraries instead, but I need them more than I need Procs.

I'm sure there was never any doubt...

…but our Halo 3 is on pre-order from Best Buy, for in-store pickup September 25th. See you all that evening.

Man, Ruby-Gnome2 widgets are an absolute breeze. I got a GUI slapped together in four hours, and I had never even used input widgets before.
