| Lgi Documentation | |
|---|---|
|
Date: 8/3/2004 | I've started converting Lgi to be documented with doxygen because it's a standard tool that people know about and seems to do a reasonable job. I like that the documenatation can be kept with the code and if you are changing the headers then the doco is right there as well and it's easy to keep it up to date. Which is something that I'd really struggle with if is was kept separately. So far I've written docs for most of the main classes. But there is just so much to do. It's fine for a first pass. Just to get something rolling.
But now my hands are sore :( Think I'll stop for a while. |

| Browsers | |

Date: 2/3/2004 | I recently added a browser sniffer to the MemeCode stats page. So far it's interesting to see that Mozilla is making strong headway into MSIE's dominance. Admittedly the readership of this site is more towards the technically literate end of the spectrum but still, ~20% is not bad... not bad at all.
Personally Mozilla is my everyday browser and I really like it. For it's standards compliance and speed, and for simply not being made by M$. It's tweakability is nice too, you can do lots of cool little things to make your browsing experience easier. Not to mention that it's safe as houses, compared to the lattice work security of IE. No popups, or weird little applets crawling in the security holes. If you havn't 'experienced' Mozilla, why not give it a try? |

| Kick up the bum | |
|---|---|
|
Date: 27/2/2004 | If you use Linux then this is something you've probably experienced at some point. I so totally agree with the sentiment expressed by ESR. I've been there over and over and over. The whole Linux comunity should take this as a kick up the bum to get their software into the new millenium where noob's can pick it up without knowing that configuration is stored in /etc.
Myself included. So I went and put a few context sensitive help buttons on the settings and account windows of Scribe to make myself feel better. If you have personally experienced something like this with my software then a heres a heartfelt 'sorry' from me. With that in mind, you can also let me know of anything that would've improved your user experience. Like a suggestion to put a "help" button on that form or an explaination of that "feature" in the help file would get a more sympathetic ear from me right now. So fire away people! :) |

Date: 26/2/2004 | You know that pesky "accounts freezing" thing that happens to Scribe every now and then? Yeah well most of you that have seen that would be well aware... well it happened to me tonight... repeatably... and I FIXED IT!
Yay... me... so now fix a few other things and a new version should be up in a day or so. |

| New Site | |
|---|---|
|
Date: 26/2/2004 | We're up and running on our new host webhostingspace.net and things look like their mostly back to normal.
I will say though that I was a little disappointed with GoDaddy's policy of a) charging you more to renew than to create a domain and b) not advertising the higher price anywhere obvious on their website. The first you hear about it the receipt from they're auto renew function. It's $8.95 if your wondering. Personally I found it very underhanded of them. |

| Site + New apps | |||
|---|---|---|---|
|
Date: 22/2/2004 | I've got the site up to date again. But I'm going to move to cheaper hosting. So you may experience some down time over the next week accessing memecode.com. To migate the data over to the new host I've written a little php script that dumps the entire contents of the MySQL database backend to XML and then a normal desktop application pulls all that back on you local harddisk. Then the second stage is writing all the data into the new database creating tables along the way. This is not only good for backing up databases on webservers but a great way to migate to new hosting quickly and painlessly. If all goes well I might clean up the code and post it as an application.
