- The next problem I want to tackle, left over from before shipping, is making Drummer able to recognize that there's a copy of itself running on another machine, and sending it message to turn itself off, so as to avoid version problems. #
- I've got new code in the server that sends a "goodnight" message to such extraneous copies of Drummer. To be clear, not just on the same machine (as it currently works) -- no matter where it is. #
- Also I want it to do something more appropriate than switching to the About Drummer page from the docs. I think I figured out how to do that too.#
- This is a tricky corner-turn. If for some reason it doesn't work properly, and of course Murphy's Law says that it won't, mayhem could result and that would suck. #
- So here's the deal, if you want to help validate this, let me know by responding to this item, and in a couple of days we can start testing this functionality. Once it appears to work properly, then I can "arm" the feature. But I want to be extra-extra careful with this fix. #
