WhoM 1.0… Finally :)

Adam Johnson — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 05:49:42 +0000

For the past month or so, I’ve been working on an application called WhoM. It’s a pretty nifty little tool; it connects to Myst Online: Uru Live game servers and shows whether or not your buddies are online, and if so in what age. It includes some basic management features like adding buddies, deleting buddies, and clearing the recents list.

Anyway, after about a week and a half of public beta on the MOUL Forum, I’ m releasing WhoM 1.0 final. It is written in C#, so you will need the .NET Framework 3.5 if you wish to run it on Windows. I cannot say how well it will work in Mono on linux; however, I do know that it will not work on Max OSX. Mono doesn’ t implement a required component on the Mac, it seems.

Maybe eventually, I will blog about some of the challenges I had in getting this monster to work. The .NET DataGridView control gave me lots of grief. It’s a terrifyingly powerful and complex component. Of course, MSDN’s documentation sucks, so I had to learn how to do some things (like sorting by an image) via Google. Even then, it took some creative thinking. Still, it was a fun program to build, and I do plan on releasing a WhoM 1.1 eventually.

Now let’s see how long I can procrastinate blogging again.

The OLD Stuff…

I password protected some old junk just because I don’t really want those demons of the past lurking out there and I am loath to delete anything. If you’d really like to revisit them, then the password is their subject matter; however, you should remember that the time in my life I was posting about then is long gone, and the posts are no longer applicable.

Maybe I’ll make a longer, real blog post later.

New Stuff

Let’s see how quickly this gets populated by our friends

A Random Forward

I generally delete forwarded emails, but this one caught my eye… I’m really glad I opened it. Now to forward it to 10 people before I die at midnight!

> FIRST BOOK OF GOVERNMENT ….PSALM 2009

> Obama is the shepherd I did not want.
> He leadeth me beside the still factories.
> He restoreth my faith in the Republican party.
> He guideth me in the path of unemployment for his party’s sake.
> Yea, though I walk through the valley of the bread line,
> I shall fear no hunger, for his bailouts are with me.
> He has anointed my income with taxes,
> My expenses runneth over.
> Surely, poverty and hard living will follow me all the days of my life,
> And I will live in a mortgaged home forever.
> I am glad I am American,
> I am glad that I am free.
> But I wish I was a dog …
> And Obama was a tree.

I'm Independent

I’m a college student who has no income. I live in a destitute area. I have six years of college ahead of me so that I can teach High School Science. A very noble profession, in my opinion.

I’m not begging for money.

…

Oh, while I’m not begging, I really need one of those new $2,500 17″ MacBook Pros. I get really bored between my CHEM 1211 Lecture and Lab… I could write papers for my ENGL 1101 class and annoy my POLS 1101 professor with it! So, satisfy your philanthropic urges, and donate to my cause!

Sharpie Pens

Sharpie Pens write fairly well and offer interesting colors, though the same color name as every other pen manufacturer.

They’re also entirely too expensive and hurt my hands because of the way I write.

That’s all for this random product review.

Here We Go…

Onward to week #2 at college. We’ve said hello, now we start affecting my grade.

Taking: Precalculus, Composition I, American Government, Principles of Chemistry I

Chemistry will be tough, the labs are hard and make the day extremely long and tiring. They also make me miss Andrea’s softball games. Those are actually fairly interesting, I found. Much more exciting than the scrimmage football game I went to Friday night (Wheeler Co. vs Claxton). That was boring.

My Composition professor is hard, but I think I’ll be able to survive. Mama Routh taught me well.

Blah

When did it become so easy to update wordpress?

Also, when did I forget about my blog?

Fixed width sucks on a widescreen, but you rock!

But I rock more >.>
