Disasters on Thanksgiving day

Thanksgiving day was chaotic for me. We have a big party planned and I know I can't do much for the day. So I wanted to zolo the entire day but I can't start the bot. Turned out the ISP my offset server and forums server is on had a heart attack and the whole thing is down.

Went on to mmowned and several people are reporting the same. It took my ISP about 2 hours to finish fdisking (the partition went read only for some reason).

But I don't have time to wait for them to finish the scan. I have to go buy stuff for the party. Right in the middle of that wife told me she forget to order pizza!!! Now I am facing a total meltdown, because it will be mutiny if there is no food (the people we invite are mostly grown ups but there are young kids involved).

I have to drop in a nearby Pizza house and the line was not bad. Of course once I come back home my car is blocked out of garage. And one of my guest's hand was burned by hot water while she tried to prepare something. So there were frantic search for medical supplies, while a bunch of kids skip out of the door and started playing in our backyard.

Finally we start to eat and the conversation was good. Suddenly I heard loud cries. Several of the kids got wood stick in their hands while playing at the structure in our backyard (from the previous owner). Now more needles and etc. I almost fainted for that.

Out of time, more later if I could.

New release soon

I am in process of implementing a bunch of features, including auxiliary waypoints (a waypoint holder where you can put any waypoints in there without checking of distance etc. Good for muck up waypoints so the toon can run smoothly on loot), one way and two way sequential waypoints (Where bot will follow the waypoint excatly to the end).

The one way and two way sequential waypoints will be good in places where it have tight corners, inside caves or near cliffs, where you want the bot to go exactly as you recorded, or go one way only. some of them are needed in order to go to tight quest areas.

However time is tight and I don't have much time to test it out...
