I'm seriously p*****... Why? Because the gcc compiler just puts all my classes, stl usages etc as symbols into my shared object that I compile for Linux...
I've been working on this problem for 2 days now, and I only managed to "remove" (hide to be more precise) the symbols of my class implementatio…

Hi,
after releasing SSCXML to the public I must say that I'm happy with the number of downloads. It's true that this standard is new to people and that many have to see how they can include it into their projects.
I had quite some requests from people asking me if a Linux version will be available. T…

I've just updated the sscxml pages and I have uploaded the SSCXML SDK. So, feel free to download it, give it a try and pass me some feedback through the sscxml forums :)
Have fun,

Well well well... today I decided to finish the SSCXML beta test. There are several reasons for this but one of the most important is that my testers actually seem to lack motivation. I understand that it's not easy to test and work with a new library based upon an unknown technology. But I must ad…

Well... I was going to prepare a new version of my SSCXML sdk when I wanted to close my demo application using the window close button on the top right of the window. Unfortunately the application froze. At first I thought that I had forgot something or that I used a wrong WM_ message but when I to…

AAAAAaaaaargh....
I just have taken a look at the new SCXML draft of the W3C which has come out last week. Take a look at it here.
I must say: S.H.I... no... I won't say it. Let's just say that the draft has changed dramatically to be worse than before. I have a number of issues but the most importan…

Well... I must admit that I'm a little bit deceived. I called for a closed beta test, granting a free commercial site license to every beta test participant, and only 6 people actually subscribed.
The beta test has started one week ago with the upload of the SDK installer and I requested to subscrib…

It's done. Yesterday evening I packed up the V1.0 Beta 1 of SSCXML, uploaded it and send a message to my... eeeh 6 beta testers.
I'm a bit tired (because it was like 11:30pm) but happy... and nervous. I'll have to wait and see which bugs come up and where to improve things. I added some stuff in the…

Hi,
after some pushing back I finally finished the web site for SSCXML today. You can reach the site here: SSCXML
SCXML which means State Chart XML defines an easy way to describe a finite state machine through an XML file. SCXML is currently a working draft by the W3C. The latest version of this dra…

Hi,
it took some weeks but finally I managed to fight a good UML tool that supports all I need. C++ round-trip doesn't seem to be a problem (as far as my current tests have shown) and the support is very helpful for any question I had.
I found one bug though: The software has some trouble recognizing…

to VS2005... yeah... sh***...
Well, after some trying and doing with VS2008 (I used it since october 2007), I had to switch back to VS2005. Not that I really wanted to do this. But I came to realize that some of the things I really want to use, won't support VS2008 for the next couple of month.

Wow... 2 entries in one day...
While working on my game and designing the first scxml file for the first unit, I stumbled across the fact, that some units share data and/or functionality (means states).
Now, the scxml draft states that you can insert any data within the datamodel using the src attrib…

Now that I have finished my first version of SCXML I started with my game project. It's called "Prohibition" and it's a turned based strategy game.
Well well well... Since I don't want to develop my own 3D engine anymore (did since for at least 8 years; too much work for just 1 person), I decided to…

Gosh... it has been a month since my last entry... I must say that I really was quite busy the last couple of weeks. I worked on the business software for the german music label and had to write a performance analysis tool for Ford Motor Company (also Germany). I also had to write a performance ana…

I had some time yesterday evening and this afternoon to work on my Simple SCXML stuff.
As I have mentioned in my previous blog entry, I cannot support a full fledged javascript engine within SSCXML. It would just add to much overhead to the lib. So, I spent some time thinking about the probl…

I've finally decided to call my SCXML lib "Simple SCXML". This is mainly due to some things I'll drop from the W3C draft.
First, there will be no ECMAScript support (aka javascript). A feel that adding a full fledged scripting language natively will add to much overhead to the lib. Instead a…

finished. I had some time this week and spent most of it writing the loader code for the SCXML lib I'm writing. The current SCXML code base contains all container classes for the states (state, parallel, final), the execution stuff (onEntry, onExit, send, ...), transitions, invokes, etc.

I've had long weeks since a couple of month (since beginning of august) and after having finished my work on a project for a friend of mine, I've decided to take some days off to catch up on some other stuff I had/wanted to do.
On monday I had to do my quarterly VAT declaration (here in Belgium). I …

What a stressful week. A friend of mine asked me last week to help out with a project he has. Delivery date on monday next week and so much to do. I think I got my part finished this morning. At least I don't see what I can do now. I'll be at his place tomorrow to fine tune some last stuff.

Well, I've read through the SCXML stuff on the w3c site and have peeked much deeper into the apache java implementation of this. Man... while there are some good and interesting ideas the final implementation does look way aside what is actually descibed within the SCXML documentation. Some stuff a…

Well well... I couldn't find a Cpp implementation of scxml so I fetched a java version from the apache svn (link). Appearently it implements the current draft of scxml.
Since noone in the AI forum seems to know about a cpp implementation for this either, I decided to make my own one based on the apa…

Gosh... I had a couple of long weeks behind me. I started at 7:30 am and finished at 11:30 pm. Had to serve two of my clients (Music label and Ford). Ford was the most stressfull because of some hardware issues but finally, I sorted it all out. I managed to implement some more than expected... hope…

Gosh... what a week I had. Every day I had to work from 8 am to 9 pm.
Had some urgent changes to add to the Ford application. Unfortunately there are still some issues hanging around but that's mainly stuff to test new hardware at their warehouse. I still have some stuff to programm there and (unfor…

Oh well... a lot of things have happened:
First of all, I dropped the Sacred 2 contract I had. I was happy to work with all the people of Studio 2 / Ascaron. I put a lot of personal implication into the project but finally, things didn't look like expected. I had a lot of discussions about my concer…

the recent months have passed by quickly and I'll already have my next Cisco exams for the second CCNA. I'll have my practical exam next week. The theory will follow on the 16th of may.

Well, well, well... this morning I drove to my hardware vendor to hand him my computer. If your remember, I had this trouble with it: When I had the 2 gigs of RAM plugged in, the machine didn't work as expected.
I first thought that it might be some DVD device thing but the problem persisted even af…

Ok... I finished the exams. It was split into two parts: the first one is a theory exams using multiple choice questions (just like the module exams). The second one is a practical exams.
First part
