Strait from China, but they look pretty fucking sweet!

I've posted in the past our last dog, Rosie, a Westie, Shit-zu mix. She was a great dog that, at 12 years old got diabetes and went blind. Had to give her insulin twice a day and made it to 16 years old. She knew the house layout and got around okay and we still walked every day, when she could run and knew I wouldn't let her hit a mailbox or anything. After she passed, I didn't want another dog for a while, since I was also caring for my wife. But Wifey insisted on getting a lap buddy, since she was confined to the chair. Wife passed a year ago, but Ozzy, the new guy we got in 2023 has actually been a great find. We adopted him from a local Adopt-a-Center and is not only the lapdog she wanted, but also a good dog. We walk daily, as he is a Jack Russel, Chihuahua mix, so has a LOT of energy. His only issue is "little man syndrome". Want to attached only big dogs - a little nuts. Anyway, I call him "needy boy", since he must be with me at all times. Favorite place is between my hip and the arm of the chair. And he'll go ON the water, but not in it! But, we're working on that! 20241203_112516.mp4

This is my sweetie Lily, I did not even want a dog, I finally caved and we got her, she has been my best bud since!

COD4x Server Address 74.91.119.86:28960 I want to thank everyone for their patience in playing on the CoD4x server and suffering thru the crashes and reboots. I care deeply about our clan and everyone I play with, hence, my motivation to dedicate my time and put in the effort to make this happen. Retrospect When we first launched the CoD4x server it was on a managed NFO server, meaning all the server controls are with NFO, just put the mod files in there. The server was crashing due to fundamental changes in how the CoD4x code is re-written and how our mod handles player data. We had no way of figuring out what was wrong since we had no control over the server's internal behavior. I decided to launch the CoD4x server on a dedicated machine where I had absolute control over the server process. I recompiled the CoD4x server code and launch binary after binary. Each iteration informed by the logs collected when the server crashed. On the Linux machine I was able to capture the exact behavior of the server and put guard rails against crashing, but didn't address the root-cause. Until now. I have strong confidence in the latest deployment that I have addressed the root-cause of the crashes. A bug in memory handling that becomes bigger and bigger as people join and leave the server. When a map changes it causes corruption and crashes the server. It took all of this to get to the bottom of this problem. The work arounds I put in, would delay the inevitable and one of the work arounds had a sever-side side effect. People with lossy connections @Icequeen@Dukoo @P1nh3ad or well high ping, would experience stuttering, this was real, caused by the bug, but made worse by the work around I put in to keep the server from crashing right away. I am confident that you will not experience this anymore. If you know programming, I had to patch the disassembly of the stock COD4 server and recompile the CoD4x server code. Our mod does a double free of player data. This happens on the stock server too but the stock server is single threaded so while it never crashes it starts becoming laggy the longer it stays on. We change rotations every Friday so a server restart would clean the slate. The CoD4x server launches multiple threads, and does things in parallel, when the mod's code would try to delete player data upon disconnect, it would do that more than once in CoD4x, this would poison the memory heap. The only solution was to block the call in the server code. CoD4x automatically deletes all the pertinent player data on disconnect, the mod doesn't need to send that command in the script. This is in essence a two-part fix, put a check in the server code to don't let the memory get poisoned then remove all the player data delete from the mod's scripts/code. At the moment, I don't have the mod's source code so I did the only and the best thing I could. I hope the server's clock-work like crashes are behind us and all my hard work and sleeplessness has paid off. There will still be small things here and there but we will address them as we go. Thank you for reading and happy gaming.

Fixed.

and she is 18 this year ..

I got this Vicious Little Attack Dog. Maggie 4 years old 1/2 Pug 1/2 Jack Russell terrier JUG. 100% rotten to the core and she seems to have Unlimited energy. lol She was Supposed to be moms dog, but we kinda bonded rite away. Wub her so much. She's such a little sweetheart. She's super smart. I taught her all sorts of tricks and stuff. So far she knows Sit, Stay, shake paw, roll over, Bang play dead, fetch, Spin, Stay Down, out? Cookie? Bone? I gota watch saying Cookie or Bone around her because she knows exactly what they are and starts Begging and doing this cute little irresistible spin thing. She loves Three Dog bakery lick’n crunch cookies. She gets one a day if she is good. She does occasionally get into stuff. They say that if you have a Pug that you have to Constantly Pug Proof your house. She's really not that bad though.

The real Willie, RIP old buddy.

These are my three cats. Fifille , Garcon and Rosie the mother of the first two.

Folks, Here's an update. After a very long Sunday, I'd like to say that I fixed the mod induced instability on the CoD4x server. It was caused by the use of poison perk, repeated freeze/unfreeze, the resources were not freed when round switched and it kept corrupting the memory. It was our mod that had to be made CoD4x compatible in the end. This is a weakness, in my opinion, of CoD4x's revised memory management that it cannot handle bad mod scripting hence forth crashing the server. For the technically inclined. After 4 hours of running, and folks playing on the server. I dumped the process core, looked at the memory area that was getting corrupted had AI perform 2 audits of the allocators and their status, its CLEAN. It's FREAKING CLEAN now. Please play on the new COD4x server [ 74.91.119.86:28960 ] . If it hangs for some reason, I want it to stay in that state until I get to it. Therefore, should that happen proceed to the regular cod server. The most exciting thing of it all is that, the server is listed on COD4x master servers and we are getting new visitors. It would be pretty amazing to see the server grow.

House trainings not going so well, and I seem to have lost the dog, but on the plus side I've also lost the wife.

Thats right "Killed by Stormcrow>XI<" dont you forget it!

Possibly coming over from Australia!!!! starting to work on dates and hope to get leave from work

I let you guess is the pet the fish or @Ruggerxi ???

We started from the bottom now we're.........back at the bottom

Sure is pretty !!!!

Just stopping by to say Hi... I'll have to come play sometime...

Very nice! Watch out for potholes!!

Right you are - thanks for sending me this picture of YOUR PET

Amazing how many pets look like their owners

Please Welcome Back Dukoo To Our Clan Congratulations Dukoo And Welcome

I'm jealous of that long tongue ..........................

I only do that after a shower, you're just jealous

You made me spin a new server build. All because you had network issues. I am not mad. I just want to have some space from you.

I finally qualify for an emotional support animal....so this weekend I'm headed offshore for a tuna.

Fall on that and you lose all your killstreaks while a server-wide laugh is played.

Hey @BUDMAN - thought you didn't like COORS LIGHT????

Mrs. Smeggie and I spent the weekend working on the boat and enjoying the great outdoors. What an amazing weekend, weatherwise, here in the Metro D.C. area. Managed to snag some shots of my favorite bird, the Bald Eagle and symbol of freedom. And what a sunset! Shame it had to end..... Cool Change Mattawoman Sunset 2026-1.mp4

XtremeIdiots would like to wish all members celebrating their birthday today a happy birthday. X-RINGCUTTER>XI

Anyone getting this ?

I have patched over 15 mod files with leaky buckets. I am running a stress test with bots. If you happen to see them, thank them for their untiring service. I do need real people to play and try to break it. We are 90% there, I just need some real crazy human gameplay to prove that its all done.

A long time ago I put a post about how many Idiots believed in UFO's and aliens, and if anyone had any experiences. We learned Frenchi had been extensively probed and a few of you had experiences of UFO's, UAP's as they are now known. Following the recent USA releases of unexplained phenomena, has anyone altered their opinions or do you think it is more likely we are being watched? In the interests of science I have just invested £8 in a new pair of binoculars from a car boot sale. Tonight I'm going to observe the 18 year old blond student opposite my house as she prepares for bed in case she is probed or visited by little grey men. I see this as a new interest and contribution to the scientific community, at least that's what I'll tell the police. Wish Rob luck

You are the alien - your selfie - shown below - that you sent to @BUDMAN proves it!!!

Yes we would, I wish we were 30 again

There is a vintage motorcycle dealer close to me. I drive by on the way to Kings Island, but have never stopped. I need to. Rob we would have fun there !!! https://williamsvintagecycle.com/

ok. now be careful!!!

Turns out we did get a new ride. She got herself a damn nice Camry today. My first bike was a 79 I think. Kawasaki, inline 4 750. It was much faster than I expected it to be

In 1980 I bought a Honda CB-900F when I graduated high school. I would love to come across a nice used one. Or even the Honda CB-1100F from same era. Those were the beginning of the Crotch Rocket era. The 1979 CB-750F was a big leap forward in inline 4's . Gave Ducati's a run for the money in handling. When Kawasaki came out with the 1000ZXR Ninja in 1986 I was first in line. Had a red one. Then the wife and I started popping off kids and well... it had to go. In 1999 I bought a Suzuki GSXR750. But in 2004 I traded it for a Datsun/Nissan Z (Turbo). Too many crazy drivers taking out motorcycles. And I have had several Z's since then. Would love to get a Datsun 240Z body from overseas and plop a LS in it. But I do miss riding bikes !!!

Fixed @Ruggerxi

thanks! I like em fast and easy to wreck

LOL my cats do the same lol

A kill is a kill dammit!!!

She is cute as fuck, ill take it! LOL

DUKOOO KLEINE LUL! Welcome back!
