JDC v7: Coming this November

No Comments

The new M1 server. It’s nice, it’s fast, and it runs Server 2008.

It also put me out of the job sadly, so essentially I just have RDP for Chrome and WLM whenever I’m not at home and for managing my own site.

Also, considering it’s running some new version of PHP, it’s also broken almost every script used on my site.

Thanks to Tom for upgrading WordPress so my blog’s back up and running.

As for the other scripts in use on my site, they’re expendable. Fortunately, it’s the other scripts and not my blog that were irreparably damaged.

Anyway, since v6 is more or less screwed, it’s time for JDC v7. I’m not saying what it is or when exactly it’ll be done, but it’s coming soon.

Check back here for updates. Also, all static files on my site are back where they belong. All that’s missing/broken is:

The wiki (Probably not coming back)

The Joomla install (Not coming back at all)

The downloads section (May have a v7 replacement)

Slots 2

No Comments

I managed to decompile my old game Slots and rewrite it.

I also revamped the graphics to use some that actually made sense, then took it a step further and added a key to explain them.

I also modified it to remove some unnecessary, non-working code and to make it generally faster and more responsive.

Enjoy!

It’s been exactly two months since my last post, so I suppose I’d better put something together so people don’t assume I’ve disappeared.

Nothing worth posting about on its own has happened in the last two months; I suppose the most significant occurrence is that I got a new monitor towards the beginning of the two months.

It’s an Acer X203H 20″ widescreen, with a resolution of 1600×900.

So nice to be off that crappy 15″ 1024×768 monitor I had to use for years before this.

Also within the last couple of months, I’ve joined Aperture, so echoShell development is cancelled. All my work in shells will now be going towards Aperture.

Don’t ask for source. I’m NOT giving it out.

Also, v6 is getting rather old. Any suggestions for what you’d like to see in JDC v7?

Also, I would like to announce WinHook Forums, which will be opening eventually.

Finally, I know this has nothing to do with me, but who saw the new South Park last Wednesday?

Their portrayal of Billy Mays was EPIC!
