Need a bigger day
So yeah, as expected no programming progress was made. Sux really. I did loads of software testing, and made some solid decisions on the future of SiegSpace.com, but even the news is still not fully transferred and I still haven't finished sorting though the photos I've taken. (I'm close; Intrepid Museum, and two locations around Fredericksburg. So maybe three or four batches? Although Intrepid could take a while....) But, (...)
An exercise in time management and priorities
Back in June I got back to this internet thing. I never really left, I just stopped making visible changes. So I stopped stopping. I had plans to get back to a rapid Beta release cycle so I could then finish this whole 1.9 thing started many moons ago. But due to many reasons, mostly website updates, photos and exercise, that has not happened. In reality, it's not going to happen now for several months as (...)
Not sure how I missed a whole protocol
iTimeSync has been a popular program all things considered, and unlike other popular programs it's one that has been used by me. It's been so long since I wrote it (2002) I can't even exactly remember why I even did. There's no useful comment in the ReadMe... and my motivations 20 years ago are a mystery in itself. Most likely I simply wanted a way to sync all my computers time and figured I might as well write it myself. It (...)
QWave v2
So the QWave beta is done. While this may have seemed to be an odd priority we wanted to do this mostly as it was important to find the size baseline. MASM32 programs can be really small; QWave was only 6kB... yet it seems the smallest stub program in VS C++ is about 12kB... and QWave 2.0 is currently 15kB. However QWave (...)
TwinSeek v2
The 99% complete TwinSeek has been updated on the Beta page. A bit later than planned, but not too bad. There were some issues porting some functionality and as a result it became easier to bring forward some planned unit tests. It is funny with trying to finish software. You have lists of issues and then you suddenly (...)
iTimeSync v2 Alpha One
iTimeSync has been added to the Beta page. There are some known missing features so it is being declared as a Alpha. There should be a final Beta in the next few weeks that will move to a release a week later. Or so the plan goes. Right now the plan is to move TwinSeek to a final Beta. That will be released (...)
iTimeSync v2
Still working on iTimeSync. Probably about 90% ready for a Beta, but that'll probably be a few more days at the earliest. Other programs should be faster; a lot of the work on iTimeSync was library update and design. We had libraries of sorts from early days, but we allowed forking within programs to a degree in the interest of efficiency. Less inclined to do that now as it became a big reason why (...)
First SLog
So yeah, I'm in the middle of a complete rebuild of everything in C/C++. Probably. Some programs may be missed, but the goal is to hold back any release until I've got a few ready. TwinSeek 2.0 has been in active use for years, Ute is in progress, and iTimeSync is aproaching a Beta. There's another (...)
