Date: 24/11/2005 | I created this for my desktop today:
Apparently STI have applied their tweaks to the Legacy (Liberty here in .au) as well. I have a 2nd similar desktop of the 2006 WRC Impreza as well if anyone is interested. This STI Legacy is the current model of what I'm driving around in. Mines even a very similar colour as this, wagon too, but the old GT's came with a somewhat quirky twin turbo setup which while it delivers 206kw it is hard to drive with moderate agression, it's either "change at 4000rpm" or wind it all the way through to 7500 redline. There is no "middle ground". If you let the engine get over 4000 the 2nd turbo spins up and sucks all your boost away, so if you change at 5000 you get no boost in the next gear. Thats why the new Legacy when back to a single turbo setup. Subaru Australia have brought in it's own STI Liberty if you were wondering. |

| Stable Scribe Tomorrow | |
|---|---|
|
Date: 24/11/2005 | Well this is it. Tomorrow I will be releasing v1.88 stable. After working for most of a year (v1.87 stable was released 27/12/2004) on this version I think it's the best Scribe yet. To all those who spent hours translating the software or reporting bugs and testing code, thank you. I couldn't have done all this without you.
There are a number of new implementations of existing features waiting for v1.89 so that'll start to happen soon. I'll be making the bayesian filter much more elegant, streamlining mail folders for faster load times, reducing memory footprint and finally... making the IMAP implementation fully caching. |

| IP over Firewire | |
|---|---|
|
Date: 17/11/2005 | Oh this is too cool. My PC has 1 ethernet port and my cable modem is
plugged into that. So to network the Mac Mini in is pretty hard. But it turns
out that you can network an XP machine to an OS X machine using Firewire.
How hella cool is that! It's called IP over Firewire and it rocks.
My PC mother board is old and lame, and I've run out of PCI slots (kinda). Because the slot next to the video card needs to stay free to get enough air flow over the Nvidia 6200 which has no fan (factory heatsink only). No onboard ethernet either, so I have 1 NIC, a sound card, a USB2 card, a Firewire card and the TV tuner card. And 1 free slot next to the AGP card. Anyway it's all cool... firewire comes to the rescue. I'm posting this from the Mini ;) |

| New Software | |
|---|---|
|
Date: 17/11/2005 | There are new releases of all 3 of my main apps today, i.Scribe/InScribe, i.Mage and i.Ftp. Man, busy busy busy.
Also I've updated the InScribe page to include a bunch of screenshots specific to InScribe as opposed to the free i.Scribe. Covering the features just in InScribe, like multiple accounts, MAPI export and user filters. Enjoy. |

| Push Towards A Stable Scribe | |
|---|---|
|
Date: 17/11/2005 | Well Scribe v1.88 Test15 is out and all outstanding issues (bar feature rewrites for v1.89) have either been completed or are waiting for more information from users. Test14 has gone really well, except for the forwarding being broken there has been very little in the way of negitive responses (bar a few false alarms).
I've been working on becoming even more consistant in chasing up every little thing so that issues don't fall through the cracks. Between the Bug Database and my Inbox, which I now colour code issues, I keep tabs on everything and chase up all the reports of bad behaviour. The way I'm running my Scribe related folder is to colour code emails that I've actioned as green, things that are waiting on more information as orange and outstanding work as red. The idea being to make everything green or orange. Every day or so I go back over all the unmarked (white) email I havn't looked at and do something about it so that I can mark it with a colour. It's somewhat satisfing to have all your "todo" items ticked off. It does mean that I feel compelled to not ignore stuff I don't want to deal with, which is a good discipline I guess... stops you being lazy. At least you don't get a canned response from Memecode like most larger companies will give you these days. |
