I have returned...

As you can see from the title, I have returned to this blog after my break and I'm now posting again. I have a few bits of news but I'll group them all into this post rather than do separate posts for each of them:

Beerware source code
The source code for all of my recent software is available here - I've finally made a system for sharing the code. I will be adding the source code of my less recent software in due course. If you find the code difficult to understand or compile ("Real programmers don't comment their code - if it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand"), you can ask me about it, but I don't really care - I don't have the time to offer customer support and free open-source software, on top of doing a degree and having a life. I might add some readme files alongside the source code though, which will give you some information that you may not be able to work out yourself (e.g. what you can use to compile the code).

Emptosoft Chat v1.1
If you followed the link in the above section, you may have noticed that there's source code for Emptosoft Chat v1.1 sitting there, despite no release announcement. That's because I have finished Emptosoft Chat v1.1 (I might start work on v1.2 tomorrow - I'll see if I can get that handy popup that comes up while the software is starting to come up in more places) but I haven't yet announced and released it yet - before I release it, I want to get it compiled on a Mac (so it's compatible with OS X, Linux and Windows), screenshot some of the new features, and write a decent release post. Of course, if you want to try it now (it's much improved - you shouldn't encounter bugs unless you're immensely unlucky), please feel free to download the source code, compile it yourself and buy me a beer (I've barely had any alcoholic beverages for months). BTW, if you think any of the source code for Emptosoft Chat or any of my other software is bad, it probably is - I am learning as I make the applications.

g400.co.uk
I'll be changing the images that appear on the front page of g400.co.uk at some point over the next few days - some more epic and interesting photos are on their way. By the way, I do not randomly change the image there when I feel like it - there are 10 images that rotate. (I've been asked a few times about that).

Music
That's right. I'm going to leave you with some nice music. As always, it's worth putting high quality mode on (I don't know of any way of turning on that mode by default via the code on this blog) and listening to the music through some decent headphones or speakers. Enjoy. Emoticon - smile.jpg
