E-mail notifications

Hey, just wanted to let you know that the e-mail notifications are working. I'd never played with the wiki e-mail stuff at all, so I checked existence of sendmail, tried to confirm my e-mail to see what error I got, and it worked. I can only deduce that the recent OS upgrade server maintenance did something different that didn't break it (like install sendmail)? Anyway, let me know if you have any problems with it. --Voidious 23:23, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Nice, I think it's working. Got the confirmation email at long last... =) --Darkcanuck 05:59, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Snow Leopard?

Hey - have you upgraded to Snow Leopard? If so, have you run a RoboRumble client? After quite a few minor annoyances already tonight with Snow Leopard, I was really bummed to run into this when I ran RoboRumble (not every match):

Exception in thread "AWT-Shutdown" java.lang.IllegalThreadStateException

It was kinda nice for those 10 days of Leopard on the MacBook Pro being able to run an Apple JVM with the RoboRumble, but I guess it's back to SoyLatte for me...

That sucks... I did upgrade on Sunday, although I haven't tried roborumble yet, my CPU has been occupied with targeting and movement experiments. Maybe the new rumble beta will be better? --Darkcanuck 03:32, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

You know what, this is embarrassing, but I think I was actually running SoyLatte those 10 days of Leopard + MBP, anyway. I remember checking the Java version at some point, but it must have been before I fixed my shell to be tcsh, which loaded my .cshrc and pointed back at SoyLatte. I was definitely seeing the X11 app load (which I knew seemed odd). The net being that I am still getting the above error in SL + MBP + RoboRumble, but it may not be new to Snow Leopard... --Voidious 04:05, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Heya Darkcanuck,

I was wondering if I could get a RR API key, as well as setting my flag to the United States flag on the RR server.

Have a great day!

Just a bump. I also sent you an email on the 10th. :)
