Photon’s humble beginnings are found in the Neutron Server’s development and while that was giving us stability, it also left us with “wrong” filenames. Today, at least the server side files got renamed. Also new: extended API to get a peer’s IP, extended documentation (short description for performance monitoring) and a renewed trial license. Concurrent users are limited to 100, but it’s unlimited otherwise.

A big sorry-in-advance goes out to every C++ developer who is about to update her/his project to the upcoming Neutron/Photon client lib, version 5.7.2 !
We just achieved “const correctness” throughout the whole library, which means that we pretty much had to change the signature of each and every method in the whole Neutron / Photon SDK. Joyful hours of pleasant anticipation lie ahead, while you will be adapting your code, looking forward to more stability, a clearer interface and the fastest Neutron / Photon C++ library ever released!
Here’s two examples of the changes in detail: Continue reading →
Very funny. New coffee machine. Now we’re out of coffee 
A nerve-wrecking week has passed. Worst nighmares had become true. Our coffee machine was broken.
As you may be able to tell by interpreting this highly complex chart from American Scientific there is a close relationship between productivity and coffee. Have a look at the slope in the morning and see for yourself how coffee verifiably increases the incline. Also, lunchbreak is but a light dent and in the afternoon productivity stays high.
Today, our new coffee machine was shipped, installed and coffee was immediately implemented. All is well now. No-one had to die. We are all thankful we survived this terrible time.
