Animals/Animales

[Doug R.]

The culls only take place once a year, on average, and no culls have been performed recently. In fact, as far as animals are concerned, nothing has happened since Jur made his announcement.

Also, I have never noticed lag around the time that the animal report falls into my inbox, and I couldn't possibly do my job without it.

Yo me anote en el departamento de programacion, pero dudo que me acepten, pasa que no se nada de php ni de bases de datos.

Lo que intente expresar en mi basiquisimo ingles es que no me va a tomar mucho aprender, Adoro la programacion y aprendo rapidismo, El problema es que mi carrera es full time y no me da tiempo a ponerme a aprender otros lenguajes, pero con un poco de practica seguro estoy en el ruedo.

Lamentablemente dudo que me acepten porque la solicitud quedo muy pobre ya que se leer muy bien ingles pero no soy muy bueno ni para escribir ni para hablar en ingles. Espero que me acepten, aunque ya han pasado dos dias y nada

So...
Are you sure? Maybe Chris did something on his own. It is rather strange that lag was growing until a pair of days after Chris finished his holidays, and now it's gone. Maybe him or another programmer accomplished Chris suggestion of "moving server based animal processing out of the main database" (ProgD mailing list, 5/25/07).



Jairo, las peticiones de ingreso en el personal de Cantr pueden tardar en ser respondidas entre unos días y unos meses, dependiendo de lo liados que estén Lisa (BlackCanyon) o Kev Milsom.
Paciencia. Cuidado con los mensajes que se van al buzón de correo no deseado. Y si no te llega respuesta en "mucho" tiempo puedes mandarle un PM a cualquiera de los dos que te he mencionado.

Ah, sorry, Doug. One thing new:

¿Qué ha pasado con los ciervos?

¿Es cosa mía o hay escasez en todas partes? Y digo, incluida la isla holandesa.

Deers seems to be decreasing their number very quickly.

[Doug R.]

Fixed for now (hopefully). The changing of the four per day processing to two per day really messed with the system, but I was asked not to compensate unless it was necessary.

[Sicofonte]

Thanks

[montevideano]

se puede traducir algo de lo que diujo?

[Sicofonte]

Sí, claro.

Dice que no ha realizado aún ninguna "cull" (selección o matanza selectiva) para rebajar los animales (así que ni idea de por qué hay menos lag ahora), y que el cambio que realizaron hace dos o tres semanas para mitigar el lag por animales (ejecutar las rutinas de migración/reproducción/etc de lso animales dos veces al día en vez de cuatro) está desajustándolo todo y eso es lo que debe haber causado la escasez de ciervos (a los que les ha echado una mano para que no se extingan mientras se arregla lo demás).

[montevideano]

muchas gracias!!

[Doug R.]

and the (IMO) bad idea of non stopping the animal processes for a week in order to (at last) make sure if the main guilty of the lag are the animals (as me and many people assume)

I was just informed that the entire animal system was shut down on Thursday for precisely this reason. I was told that they found several other non-animal related bottlenecks as a result of the shut-down.

[Sicofonte]

OH YESSS!!!

That's good news, you know.

(thanks, Doug)

Doug dice que le acaban de informar de que el sistema de animales se detuvo del todo durante la última semana, y se detectaron otros cuellos de botella en el código (aparte del de los animales).

[Doug R.]

Per your sig:

That's a good new, you know.

That is good news, you know.

or

That's good news, you know. (<-- less formal)

Up.

I'm starting to suspect pigeons are extinct in the Spanish island. None of my characters has seen one in many years, and they are spread throughout the island.

No big drama, as many know now where to find feathers, but anyway...

¿Qué les dieron de comer a los animales de la isla hispana?

[Doug R.]

Some Dutch players have been complaining that their island fauna is boring. Since you share the islands with them, I'm posting here as well. If there is a strong consensus that you want me to move ahead with the fauna changes, I will do so. Here are the animals that were picked to populate the two islands but never implemented:

Owl island:

rabbit
bear
pigeon
owl
deer --> red deer
alligator
cow --> goat
wild boar --> giant forest hog
zebra --> eliminated

Rattlesnake island (the only island with enough contiguous swamp to support a rich swamp fauna):

rattlesnake
swamp snake
mountain goat --> eliminated
deer --> fallow deer
cow --> gaur
horse --> eliminated
rabbit --> eliminated
black goose
gray fox
caiman
chicken
