What are you writing it in (your Beep library, that is?)

At first, it was planned as a simple logging library, to write Sylog log files. Later on I decided to add a log viewer and server / client programs in order to be able to write logs over a network connection. It is stated in the RFC that Syslog messages not going over UDP but TCP are needed to be transmitted via BEEP, and now I find myself implementing a BEEP library. Well, I'm planning the architecture right now, and the rest of what I was planning does only exist in my head so far. Apart from the file logger, which exists in a raw form.

Why not just use the existing libraries that already do all of that?

The problem is that there seems to be no library which can be used to apply BEEP on a TCP connection.
And there is also only one Syslog library out there, which is commercial.
The project is a personal challenge, and shall also provide the possibility to use Syslog as standard for your logging stuff - The existing logging libraries are fine, but their customizeability is often a problem, since a reasonably good working program to read the produced logs does not exist. This certainly isn't a problem if you have a small log file (or more than one), but becomes a problem if you have a 100K+ logfile where you need to search for a single error - Especially a use case within highly regulated fields such as medical software.

I believe the custom now is to use Elephant instead of beep or the f-word.
So, that would be Elephanting Protocol

Sorry, I cannot be as helpful as the other guys  , but I just remembered I met the guy behind BEEP (Marshall T. Rose[^]) some 10 years ago. My boss knew him from somewhere and had invited him to our company to show him what we were working on - and inspire us, I guess.
I came in a little late that morning to find him chatting with my colleagues, just catching the last sentence of what must have been a fun look back at one of his friends making history "...and that is when he sat down and created POP."
It looks like he is up to some interesting things these days: http://makezine.com/2013/10/04/the-thing-system-aims-to-revolutionize-home-automation/[^]

Hi Soren,
thanks for the interesting link. How's it going over there?

Hey Marco,
Well, work has been keeping me quite busy, but I was able to hang out with my wife in Mexico over the weekend.
How about you?

I was already gone for the green club when you posted your answer 
Army is going good, we had a training week last week. No electricity, sleeping in a tent and all kind of that stuff. I'll eventually go for a promotion, which means my service extends until March next year - Time which I'm willing to invest, since it will bring me into a position where I can lead a team to maintain the leadership information system of the swiss air force, the backbone of all military air surveillance in Switzerland and a critical system within the security concept around the World Economic Forum[^] in Davos.
Work has also kept me busy, and Springlog is slowly rolling forward.

Almost a month ago, my 27yo stepson broke both bones in his lower left leg. Of course, his mother and I drove 3 hours to pick him up at the hospital. He rode back with his mother and I followed in his vehicle. (After spending $500 to get a new fuel pump put in and $60 in gas since it was empty!) Apparently, the leg injury caused an old herniated disk problem to flare up, which has been the major source of pain. It was bad enough that after an epidural failed to help, he had back surgery, fusing together two vertebrae. For this entire time, he has been camped out in the living room floor, or on the couch, and being catered to by me or the missus, including cooking, getting snacks and drinks, emptying piss bottles, spit bottles, etc. The TV in the living room has been on non-stop for most of this time. I was disappointed the other night when I was unable to change the channel since he was recording two movies and the wife had two shows also recording!  I haven't had that problem for a long time. At least I have my workshop! It's nice until it hits 100 degrees! 
He thinks he might be ready to go back home tomorrow, but it's not a firm decision. At least it's finally being discussed.

You should teach him how to use the pirate bay, free up the DVR

Sounds like he is milking it!
Leg break is up and about on crutches fairly quickly. The vertebrae fusing, I know two folks that have had it done, and they were also up and about fairly quickly.
Are you sure he hasn't just got too comfy.......

A woman in her eighties made the evening news because she was getting married for the fourth time. The following day she was being interviewed by a local TV station, and the commentator asked about what it felt to be married again at that age and would she share part of her previous experiences, since it seemed quite unique that her new husband was a funeral director.
After a brief pause, a smile came to her face and she proudly explained that she had first married a banker when she was in her twenties, in her forties she married a circus ring master, and in her sixties she married a pastor and now in her eighties, a funeral director. The amazed interviewer asked her why she had married men with such diverse careers. With a smile on her face she explained, "I married one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, and four to go."

but I just found a new recipe.
It starts with the basic batch sauce, onions, garlic, ginger, oil, tomatoes and spices. Go easy on the spices and tomatoes, this is a backgrond sauce. Boil it, then liquidize it.
The new thing was this, liquidise some onions with water, and then cook it, wothout colouring, till its almost dried out, kind of like a bread dough to lk at, but its much loser. (It is incredibly sweet, Imade it with french yellow onions, known for their sweetness).
Then make up a garlic/ginger mix, and make you fav curry with some meat, the main spices, qhatever veg you need, and the addition of the onion paste and base sauce.
I made three in about 20 mins, korma, buter chicken and jalfrezi, and they actually taste a damn sight better than the last curry I had in the UK! Dare I say it, the nicest I have ever had!

I actually went on on 3 month indian curry course, I alway cook the the onoins until slightly brown to give flavour, then spices (fresh the better).
Try adding these to your curries:
Dried Methi Leaves (hard to get fresh)
Black Cardamons
Black Slight (sulphur smelling, but tasty).
Lots of fresh coriander.
My favourite dishes are Aloo Ghosht and Saag Palak.

Cat get dried fenugree leaves that easilly, I have to order them, but I stil have a lot of my existing spices so its not time to order yet.
Black Cardamoms are great, I use them in Jalfreizi with cloves, gives a lovely deep and warm flavour.
Last nughts vote was the Butter Chicken was the best, so I am remaking it tonight.

Look out for the "East End" brand, dried methi leaves come in a small box, our local Asda / Tesco do them, but most of the time I go to our local asian supermarket - stuff there is cheap as chips.

Unfortunately I live in France, so I have to get much of the basic stuff on line, but god tip. They don't do them fresh do they as well? I never tried growing it from seed, I should order some, but I have heard fresh it is even better.
