I'm struggling here too.
I've lost all (except one who seems to show up every once in a while) of the people who were helping me ('Those who are Sid')
The biggest thing that lost them was that DF doesn't always start when a machine is booted. This is especially true on slow connecting ISPs such as DSL
It is not uncommon to see it take two boots for it to run. When it doesn't start right, it still stays resident in memory, so it can't be re-started unless
the .lock file is removed and the task is terminated in task manager. I think this is a load of poopie and resent it that Howard does not see fit to address
problems in the 'lowly, regular' client because his energies are going to the beta.
To make it even worse, when I did try to help with the beta testing, Howard was rude and dismissive because I didn't report my findings in a way that
he felt was formatted correctly. (give me a break!)
so, to take stock:
I've lost my mini-team members because they don't feel like baby sitting DF. (I don't blame them.)
I don't want to help with the beta because Howard acted like an arrogant azz when I did try to do that.
One of the two machines I own is now on another project which leaves only one on DF. Can you just imagine the impressive
numbers one machine is putting up with this ever-so-speedy protien........... NOT
Get it together Howard! :|
