Re: Guess whats updated?
I have it in my head to possibly develop a link client with images, in C# using SQL-Lite as the indexed storage. Perhaps we can partner up farther down the road. Right now eq2idb takes an eternity between updates, and the search feature is hopelessly slow when time is of the essence. But I use the program because it gives me item stats and description, not just a link. It's very useful when someone mentions the name of a spell I'm not familiar with.
Another idea I have is a common log file interface, where only one program monitors the eq2 log file, parses each line and converts it to binary or xml data, and pipes it off to any program that registers as an event handler at runtime (whether parse program, link parser, or database importer). This would keep the stress off the log file and help prevent any locks on it. But that's a bit ambitious and will have to wait.
