I tried it once. In theory, it should have been super easy. In practice, after a few days of trying to make the damned software run on my computer, I gave up. Of course if I can't make it run, I cannot test any changes I make.
I think the code is freely available, so if you feel heroic, try it at home. Or use the Reddit code, which is almost the same thing.
I believe it would be easier to rewrite the whole thing from scratch. Give me a year's salary, and I would be happy to rewrite the whole thing in Java, and then to maintain in. Any other way just seems more difficult. :(
Yep, I realized I write too much about my work. I do not suspect my colleagues to read LW, but they could still put my name on google and find something work-related in top results. So I am slightly reducing the risk in the future.
I see. Too bad though; maybe future attempts, by you if you wish to try again or by others, would go better.
I wish I could reasonably undertake this myself, but 1) I never learned much coding beside the basics; 2) I remember maybe 5% of what I did learn; 3) these days I'm less motivated than a baby panda on Valium.
What about a baby panda on Viliam?
