Re: [sc-dev] on the nature of server crashes and restarts

[pete moss <petemoss@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

if you get that working it would be great, but i have tried and failed. 
   i could find no way to get it to work as a plugin without crashing 
the server or delaying the start so that the server would fail.  maybe 
when SC4 comes along with its plugin primitives, it could work, but for 
now plugins need to be simple.

i have a private branch of DarwiinRemote that includes OSC support and 
works quite well.  i have been using the wiimote to control SC for about 
a week now.  i hope to have it in the main branch soon, but i need to go 
hop on a plane from houston to seattle, so it may be this weekend before 
i can get to it.  i will post a note when it is available to the masses.
