Since HPWorld a lot of people have signed on to the demo.qcterm account on
the 918 that we expose to the world. Unfortunately, none of the material that
I talked about at HPWorld is on that machine yet. The current, AICS-internal
version of QCTerm is too unstable -- not in the sense of bad programming, but
that we keep changing the rules -- to put up publicly. In fact, because we
really are in an exploratory mode right at the moment, nothing's been
publicly released since last December.
My sincere apologies for this, but as soon as we have exhaustively tested all
of QCTerm's possibilities and alternative designs, we'll release this new
behavior. What I don't want to do is create a design structure that is
non-optimal and find that fact out later, meaning that we would have to later
release a new, revised architecture -- and make you all abandon whatever work
you've put into supporting the old structure. That's my worst nightmare in
all of this.
Internet time be damned. We're on the Atmarian calendar now :-).
To answer the inevitable question: I'm hoping for Christmas, or a little
before.
