Thanks for the explanation, Matt. I'd seen a bit of the discussion on tasking itself here on the forum but I was looking more for the source of the conflict between Kat and others and not finding it.
I posted the relavant emails in the other thread.
Basically, Jeremy said something about multitasking in dlls, because when i added a task_yield call to http.e, and was adding task_msg'ing too, it broke compiling http.e to a dll. And whatever he meant in that proposal, i understood him to mean something else, and i disagreed with the proposal i understood him to be making. Matt then went all Elizabot on me, and somehow thought i believed the proposal for future functionality was already present, and i could not and cannot find the words to disuade him from his belief.
In the meantime, no one understood how i understood Jeremy's original statement, and even after he clarified it some days later, and i thought that subject was dropped, it went on and on and on because i was still accused of believeing the proposal was actually how it already was, and as that made no sense to me, i didn't and don't understand how this was a basis for attacking me, and eventually i blew up.
As a different but slightly related side issue, i sped up news.ex some 10x faster than it was, and showed a progression of newsX.ex on how to take a slow app that almost wasn't really tasking at all, and make it really use the task system. In this progression of code, i left original code in news.ex as i was working on http.e and task.e at the same time, finding a code change to improve one often meant code needed changing to improve the other to keep pace. Matt had extreme issues, again believeing since i left in useless code i did not write, that i believed it was necessarily magical and required, and for the longest time he didn't even look at the 3 code bases i was working on, yet critiqued ME as well as the code.
This is why i am so peeved at the dev community in general, the assumptions forced on me were so illogical, yet persistantly pushed, there was no defending myself, because my words never got thru. (Except that Jeremy did have a clue what i meant was not what he meant and did clarify the proposal.) Even having two topics going was confusing to them: news3.ex and the misunderstood proposal. All i know is i was the butt of the attack, much like when i did post task msg'ing code, and Matt went after me, even admitting later he never took a look at the code, he coincidently left me alone after i took it down.
So i took down the task messaging handler code, and won't release news4, news5, the code to task_msg across a lan, or the fix to certain files nuking http.e, or further speedups to it. I don't need the harrassment, and i know any words i use to answer questions about it will not be heard or recieved in a fair light.
This is.... the 6th time (?) this has been gone over?
