figured I'd post it here, because my email has bricked.

What were you doing?

[gubment_cheez]

I wasn't doing anything. PDN was in the background with a 640x480 image that had three layers in it. I was talking on IRC when it crashed

I normally keep PDN open in the background so I can switch to it whenever I get an idea for something, leaving it up for days at a time. the current PDN process was launched yesterday at 2358 hours, it's now 1844

That file says you're running 3.08. Please upgrade to 3.10.

[Rick Brewster]

Although, this isn't fixed in 3.10. I get crash logs like this all the time. It's generally a resource exhaustion over time issue.

I had upgraded two days after the original post, but thank you for the reminder I just wish more programs had an auto-update feature

[edit] hell, more people/programmers like Rick Brewster would be awesome

[Crazy Man Dan]

My apologies. I had neglected to check the date of your original message. :?

[gubment_cheez]

no no, don't get me wrong, a reminder is good once in a while, repetitive ones (which you haven't reached) are the annoying ones.

I think the entire PDN project, forums, moderators, everything, is awesome. however Rick is even more awesome because he takes time out of his day, which I'm sure is quite busy (Mr Brewster, don't ruin the illusion for the rest of us, dangit!) to personally respond to questions on here. I've tried that before, and frankly, I tend to get mad at the signal to noise ratio. which is why Rick, and the rest of the forum moderators, have much respect from me.

hmm.. this is gonna be way off topic, but I wonder if PDN is free as in beer as in Rick's last name (and how many times that joke horse has been beaten)

[Rick Brewster]

There's a beer named after my last name?

[pyrochild]

There's a beer named after my last name?

I think he just means Brewster.

Can you hear the groaning at that one? :-)

@gubment_cheez: How does Windows like being left on for so long? I usually have to restart once a week (XP). (I hibernate the rest of the time)
