It's a late hour. tiresome. today I wrote a server. one more. using the very same socket framework I wrote long ago, subclassing the ancient by now GenericServer class.

Wait, this is pretty cool. having a class to handle all connection related problems, that is, allowing you to focus upon the protocol implementation itself.

One nifty thing is that the generic server has a virtual method called GetMessageChunks whose task is to take the current client message buffer and return a list of all contained valid messages, making sure to reconstruct the message buffer after extracting the data capsules.

Just another name for a data decapsulator ( is that even a word ? )

Last weekend I played with white noise, AR envelopes and simple 12db/oct resonant filters in a quest for constructing a decent small sized drum synth.

I got kick drums, bass drums and hats to sound good yet I still have some problems with snares. few more ideeas to try out and I'll present a summary of the techniques used ( also the results ).

I'm dead tired so I'll just go lay down for a while. good night.
