Reply To: Software: On & Off the Web

mlox is actually for load order management. It’s similar to BOSS but uses a completely different syntax and its code is much simpler. 🙂 I think it stands for Morrowind Load Order Executable. When I was poking about recently, it looked like maintenance was handed over to rfuzzo. They’ve been working on Rust versions of various tools such as one that redoes mlox

I was actually recently asked by someone about converting MWEdit into Rust but I really didn’t see the need and felt it was more work than the benefits (nothing really wrong with C++). May give more details as to my reasoning soon in the MWEdit thread 🙂

From a purely electrical standpoint, you should be able to check it by seeing if there’s current running through that circuit in the absence of an ammeter in the circuit (most chips have one to help keep them from going blooey). Of course, that’d require a logic gate that interfaces with the software side of things. May be possible with OpenCV but I’m not seeing any kind of information regarding webcam interop. I know they can work together as we used it twenty years ago on a robot but I didn’t see the code. When I try searching on Google, I get stuff completely unrelated. Again 😛

Starting to get in the mood to experiment with different window managers again. Last time, I tried OpenBox and I’ve used Fluxbox pretty extensively back around 2008 or so. Leaning towards Awesome or IceWM this go around 🙂
