Some big progress has been made! The project manager has been finished. I've just started working on the most complicated bit -- "Compiling Files". I have also upgraded my project to BDS2006 finally! :) The new SkyIDE is looking and functioning just great! It's fast and slick with a great look, up to date UI and it's functional with a lot of tricks under the hood. I will have to show some type message when you first start it so you can see some of the really cool features without a doubt you will find useful. In fact, I used SkyIDE itself just before while I was trying to fix SkyIDE itself! :) I am sorry I haven't ...
Well, I have to retreat from what I said below. Yep, you are getting a new project manager. This version is going to rock! I am sorry I had to make it this way but with the original version, I just could not get over the fact that although a good idea, it was badly implemented (but the code is good). What I am trying to say is it needed a lot more work and after I considered the features I want to add, things became quite complex. So I decided....forget that, I am doing a re-write with "much" better design. Seriously, I put some thought into this and designing ...
I am about to start re-implementing the Project Manager. As you might already know, since the very first alpha release of SkyIDE, the project manager went through a lot of changes and I believe the last one I've done in Beta 15 is the best implementation of it so I intend to stick with it. Because I am happy with its original code, I will re-use the same code -- with a few minor touch ups here and there. This means, your current projects from Beta 15 will be 100% compatible with the new SkyIDE. More updates to follow soon. The interface has again slightly changed - I will show you some nearly official screenies ...
I have almost re-implemented the core of the new SkyIDE. As of this moment, things should start moving a lot quicker. More updates in the next few days with some screenshots. I don't want to post any screenshots now because the GUI keeps changing. As a matter of fact I just replaced the "new" tab bar that I intended to use with another new tab bar due to unanticipated behavior but this new one is even better :) I can confidently say, personally I really like the new functionalities I have added so far.
I've made some very good progress with SkyIDE. There will be plenty of good and useful features, bug fixes, new GUI (Officer 2007) etc. Basically the next version of SkyIDE is a new program. ETA release date 1-2 months but I will try hard to shrink it to a month. Depends on my available time. Stay tuned, it's looking great, it's fast, many new features and they work.
It's official, I just purchased extra tools. I've gone past the point of no return - "I purchased the tools I wanted" and now I may as well use them. You should see different products (for Windows) by me in the not too distant future. At the moment, I am working on another product which I am sure you will find useful and as far as the TECHOpinion.Net Live CD is concerned, I'd like to let you know that I've done absolutely nothing ever since my project was turned down. Put it this way, I just spent 175 euros for extra tools that I need. I don't like the idea of ...
Unofficially, I am resuming development of SkyIDE. If things go well, new features will include a fresh new GUI, performance improvements and many bug fixes. This is not an official announcement. Nothing is certain yet so watch this space for updates.
Unfortunately sourceforge.net did not authorise my project. I fully understand their reasons and have no choice but accept this decision which I fully justify. Bandwidth isn't cheap. This also means I have no where to upload my 675MB ISO. The MultiDistro Rescue System will not be released until I find an open hearted server that will host my ISO or until I upgrade my hosting package on my current server and I don't know when that will happen. I again ask for your help, if there is a server out there that you know about that might accept this file, please contact me. Contact details are in the "About" section. Screenshot of the ISO in action: ...
Here is something interesting: a video of Asimo conducting a symphony orchestra. Not bad? :) I have mixed feelings about this.
Microsoft has had a bit of a rough patch with its service packs lately, but the software giant on Tuesday plans to release the first service pack (SP1) for Office 2008 for Mac. Office 2008 for Mac made its debut in January, and SP1 will provide increased stability, security and performance enhancements to the suite, according to Microsoft. Specifically, it includes fixes for vulnerabilities that an attacker can use to overwrite the contents of a computer's memory by using malicious code, and all improvements that were included in the Office 2008 for Mac 12.0.01 update.
“Microsoft is aware of a reboot issue experienced by some users who have attempted to install Windows XP SP3,” said a Microsoft spokesman. “While the root cause of this issue is complex, it results from OEMs improperly placing a Windows XP image created for an Intel-based computer onto machines with non-Intel chipsets. Microsoft issued guidance to OEMs advising them to only load Windows XP images onto like hardware in 2004.” Full story.
Assuming you have managed to find a wireless card that is working well with your Linux distribution, or perhaps you just settled for a hack-n’-hope solution with NDISWrapper, you need to settle on an application that you can use to connect to your wireless network. For vanilla GNOME and KDE-based installations, you are provided solutions out-of-the-box. The problem is - they do not always work for everyone. Because of this, I will be highlighting every option I can think of today.
