New Year, old issue, same solution
My custom site and this site have the current year displayed. Mine is a php element that is used by most pages, this one.... dunno actully. Could be a setting... Need to look into that. Mine is a manual change I do (generally) in early Janurary. But I've often considered making the year auto-update. But there's so many reasons why I don't. For one, the date is based on the server time, which won't align to everyones time so it's going to be at least (...)
The power of difference
I'm a lover of good audio but I don't consider myself an "audiophile". Why? Well I don't agree with a lot of the common beliefs that go with that label. For example I think DACs are important, but I don't think that the average person can hear the difference between an amplifier with a toridial power supply, and I certainly thing that polarised HDMI cables are sheer crazy town.... The problem is a lot of these claims are very subjective, and really can't be proven. However recently I did (...)
Five Months of Windows
I was out of the country and as a result my Windows 10 based server was on without a reboot for months. 5 months. I was rather stressed about it as I've never tested Windows 10 that long, but it did make it. During this time it was running as the house server and running some file management programs written by Sinner Computing and yeah... I got back and it was all running fine. Explorer had crashed and but it was all fine.
(Why no auto-reboots? 'cos I've blocked them. Why? My (...)
Build a better contact
Ahhh, contact pages. I'll have to make a giant rant about this one day, but for now a small rant will suffice. I've generally tried to have one. Direct EMails are just a spam pit, even today with better spam protection. But many contact pages/forms are not much better and often they get hacked in some way. SinnerComputing still has one and it's generally not mis-used, but at the same time I think people don (...)
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 (...)
Very dead links
One of the links that I found was no longer valid went from a Software Association to some sort of sport network. Going by The Wayback Machine practically over night too. Weird... But I suppose that is where independent software developers are now. AI is probably going to make it all worse too. Which means it is time to make more software just the same!
Major site work
So yeah, the site needed a lot of work. Not as much as maintaining forums, not likely to go back down that path again... but things do change in the interwebs so there are still changes needed to keep things current. In addition there still were (and are to a limited extent) references to the forum, incorrect links, links to sites that no longer exist in the same form they were... Sigh. But almost done with that.
A return indeed
Back? Maybe. Right now I'm looking for my headspace, which was dropped on the floor about two years ago...
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 (...)
