"And to make it even better the whole setup is controlled by none other than linux" Could you BE any more pathetic? -Charlie Hayes

Well I guess the update I thought I made at camp didn?t get posted. Any way heres whats up.

I?m going to be releasing a new version (complete re-write) of SyncroSound soon, along with the first release of Stick-A-Note and a new program called Lill?Sis. More details to come about all of them when I post them.

CEInfoBar and CESelfExtracter are also in line for updating, but no time soon.

I?m still working on the surveys and they should be done this weekend. During the day I?m still working at American Greetings.

Camp was great, but not as great as the year before because there were less people. I went and hung out with Tom, Keith (from camp), and Mary; that was fun. We watched Rose Red, but they didn?t like it. =(

I’m at camp, got here yesterday, etc. Just got satellite working, amazingly It’s o-k…. More updates later.

I'm leaving for camp this weekend and will be there for 3 weeks. I've mostly been working and finishing the Dayton Surveys. I actually did a little on Stick-A-Note and Drizzle. Who'd a thunk it?

I'm on my anual summer visit to Chicago to see Aunt Beth and Uncle Paul! I just started working at American Greetings and will be for the rest of the summer. I'll be home Monday afternoon. Till then...

I’m home from college for the summer. I’m going to work at American Greetings this summer starting next week. I’m still working on the browser, the survey site, and other things. I’m going to be a counselor at camp for 3 weeks this summer (as usual). Not much else to talk about.

The new AMD Opteron is out! This thing will OWN Intel. Step aside Xeon. Step aside. You can check out some great reviews @ Anandtech. CYA

I’m still working mostly on the Dayton Survey thing. I worked a bit on CEInfoBar and MozClient some too.

I’m going to bed. Good night.

The browser is going pretty well. It’s not done yet.

I reinstalled Windows yesterday. Great fun. Everything still isn’t working 100% yet.

I got a new Cliè. It uses Palm OS 5, has 802.11B and does like…everything. I’ve been playing around with that for a while.

There really isn’t any thing else worth talking about…

Some how I got started writing a web browser about a week or so ago. Any how, this is the current alpha version. If you want to try it, just download it and register the DLL/OCX files by dragging them onto of the RegSvr32.exe program. I must say this screen shot doesn?t do it justice since most of the cool part is all the sweet animation. Any way? It?s still a work in progress. Even though it's called "MozClient", it still uses IE because the Mozilla control has some issues. The final version will have both as an option.

Later.

I have been playing Ratchet and Clank quite a bit lately. It’s a REALLY good game. Other than that, I really haven’t been doing too much lately. A bunch of bug fixes in CEInfoBar. It should be ready for D/L in a few weeks.

I?ve been working on CEInfoBar. The new version will be based on plug-ins and be extremely customizable. It?s actually working too! =)

The cybercoment.com administrators would like to apologize for the frequent downtime we have been experiencing. The problem has been located and we are working to correct it. Please bear with us until the issue has been resolved. Thank you.

UPDATE: It appears as though our problem has been caused by DOS attacks and a SQL Slammer bug/worm. We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused you, but the problem has been rectified.

I?ve updated the software section, go look to find out what changed.

I?ve also updated CESelfExtractor. To see the changes, download it and read the readme. There is a link in the 'new' software section under developer then CESelfExtractor.

UPDATE: Added screen-shots!!

I added my class schedule for the spring 2003 semester to my personal page. Check it out! iCal publishes them... and then iSync syncs with my Palm. Aren't Macs great?

I got the Forums back up. I'm sorry about that whole php thing. Happy posting!

Home is good... It's nice to relax. I might have time to update some proggies... who knows...

The new version of CEInfoBar will be completely modular and use plug-ins. Just to test things out, I wrote a Winamp 2.x controller? Plug-in Modules will be ActiveX, so? If you have Windows, you can try the Winamp module by going here . Make sure you have Winamp running before you open the page or it will error.

Any way, you will be able to add modules like this along with other modules like a bar graph or line graph. The modules will be able to accept system values such as ?[PhysicalRAMUsed]? as say the value of a bar graph.

Any one feeling adventurous can use the CEControls in the cab file that it downloads. Just open VB up and go to Project then Components and check off ?CEControls?. It might error saying that it can?t load an object, in which case you will need a DLL or OCX. If so (I haven?t tested it) tell me and I will say that it doesn?t work, otherwise, it works. =)

UPDATE: Uploaded a new version that wont complain if winamp isnt running, and has a lot more features and bugfixes. If you get any errors, empty temp internet files and refresh a few times.

Well, I got a new motherboard and video card before thanksgiving (ASUS A7N8X nForce 2 and ATI AIW Radeon 8500DV). The video card had some sort of distortion at high resolutions and required 8(!) drivers. I contacted ATI and they were not very ‘considerate’ so… I returned it. I think it was damaged, but 8 drivers? Please. By the way, Newegg.com has INCREDABLE customer service and fantastic prices.

Any way, I got an eVGA (e-ve-je-a) GF4 Ti 4600. It was the cheapest, and the fastest. The manual is 100% glossy and full color. EVGA has a 888 support number, and include a reasonable amount of software. I also got a Leadtek WinFast TV2000XP. It’s a LOT better then the ATI card

It turns out that you can’t install VS6 with the WinXP SP1. So, I wasn’t able to program at all until I reinstalled. I have been working on the CEInfoBar program. It’s going to be configurable and a lot better in almost every way

I added a link to my mac.com page for my “personal” page. Apple makes it so easy to make a web page, especially when you have a digital camera and iPhoto. You can post a picture page by: Plugging in the camera (iPhoto launches automatically, configurable), click import, select the images you want on the site, click share, then homepage, then enter captions and such, then click finish. It’s that easy.

I’ve been playing a lot of War 3. Even though Starcraft is the best game ever, it lags with the crap internet they have here

That’s about it for now.
