Release: Voyagerfan5761 v1.9

Release: Voyagerfan5761 v1.9

It's a few days late, but here's the official announcement of Voyagerfan5761 version 1.9. There have been some minor updates made to this version, but not a lot of major changes.

The most significant updates are in /experience/work/, where several new files have been added to reflect the program's continued evolution. More files will be committed to the repository soon, for inclusion in the next release.

Obviously the /personality/punctuality.php module needs some additional attention in this year's development cycle, as well as the /skills/theatre/tech.php library. We will continue to iterate on these and other components (such as /skills/theatre/dance.php, /personality/gregarious.php, and /assets/income.php) for the next release.

Any ideas for improvements? Think you can write a better algorithm for determining when to leave home than $event->arrivalTime( TIME_MINUTES ) - 15? Feel free to submit patch ideas in the comments.

Thanks to Matt Mullenweg for his inspirational birthday posts.

I generally use the rule “Add 15 minutes for each half hour your trip _should_ take”. Accounts for traffic, parking, etc.

  I’ll have to figure out how to implement that one. $event->setDepartureTime( $event->arrivalTime( TIME_MINUTES ) - ( $event->travelTime( TIME_MINUTES ) + 15 * ( $event->travelTime( TIME_MINUTES ) / 30 ) ) ) could work…

    You’d want to use ceil($event->travelTime( TIME_MINUTES ) / 30) . Otherwise it just simplifies out to :
    
    $event->setDepartureTime( $event->arrivalTime( TIME_MINUTES ) - ( $event->travelTime( TIME_MINUTES ) * 1.5 ) )
    
    Which is similar for large values of $event->travelTime( TIME_MINUTES ), but for low values, the 15 minutes part is more important than the “15 is half of 30″ part.

      No, don’t make me think!
      
      Needless to say, I didn’t have time to test the code I wrote, so there were bound to be bugs. Thanks for the ideas and the patch.

Yes, it's a shameless plug for money. A strange thing coming from me, but it supports one of the Web's greatest sites.
I'm sure you saw this one coming. You know what I want.
Set yourself up with OpenDNS, the fastest DNS service around! You can also set up shortcuts for frequently visited sites and filter content.
Download the best multi-protocol IM client I've ever seen! So it crashes once in a while, but it's in active development, so they're definitely working on it. (And really, what program doesn't crash once in a while?)
Don't let Microsoft push through a redundant, broken standard for office files! Chaos and confusion could ensue!
This is just in case spam-bots visit this site. Click it to find out more (it only does bad things to email harvesters, don't worry).
Blogged.com says I have to leave its badge here to claim ownership of this site. I can't take it off, apparently. Whatever. What would be nice is linking to my own site's page rather than generic "technology news" listings...
blogarama and Blog Flux (now removed due to always being down) have similar, but implied, issues. And why does everyone link me to a generic listing page?!
