====== News - 2006 ======
===== December 20, 2006 =====
I've come to realize that [[:projects:multitemplate_for_dokuwiki]] is effectively broken for newer versions of templates for DokuWiki.
As it stands, multitemplate will still work as long as your target templates don't use the “configuration management” plugin. [[:projects:monobook_for_dokuwiki]] has been using this feature since its last update, so not even monobook will work with multitemplate currently.
However, there is some good news; I almost have a working version ready, but I'm not going to be able to complete it until around the beginning of January 2007.
So this is just a notice stating: multitemplate is not completely broken, but there is a major problem, it's being worked on, but it won't be ready for a few weeks.
===== Decemeber 11, 2006 =====
I have posted a new [[:jobs]] section; I am currently looking for an Artist with Photoshop experience for an in progress game project.
Please have a look at it for details.
===== December 5, 2006 =====
I've posted a new [[:papers]], [[:papers:installing_vista_rc2_with_an_older_bios]]. It's a potential workaround for those folks who are getting a BIOS error during the install screen on Vista.
===== December 2, 2006 =====
New, big release of [[:projects:monobook_for_dokuwiki]], here's what's new:
* Monobook now uses the **configuration manager** to make things easier.
* **user_pref.php** and **pref.php** have been removed.
* More generalized options are available in the configuration manager.
* There was a typo in **lang.php** for each language… toobox → toolbox
* **settings.php** is now added to **lang/en** and needs localization for each language.
* Major revamp of this page to make installation easier.
===== November 30, 2006 =====
Not a big announcement, but I'll be taking down the [[:problems]] section soon.
Overall, I don't believe wiki software //completely// models the kind of environment needed to support that section– since it would have needed more user interaction and moderation.
===== November 18, 2006 =====
Slightly new [[:projects:monobook_for_dokuwiki]], here's the addition:
* Search results are now properly highlighted.
Updated [[:projects:display_wiki_page_for_dokuwiki]], here's what's new:
* Display Wiki Page now honors page permissions for read. Thanks anonymous.
===== November 8, 2006 =====
New [[:email]], [[:email:simple_opengl_wall]].
===== November 3, 2006 =====
New drop of [[:projects:monobook_for_dokuwiki]], here's what's new:
* Fix upload page…
* Fix support for new “Media manager” (grumble)
* Add pt-br language
* Update nl language
* Credit [[mailto:danilo@dtsato.com|Danilo Sato]] for br-pt
* Credit [[mailto:alien@jabber.xs4all.nl|Eric Hameleers]] for nl
* Note, for some reason in IE's display of the media manager, the [+] icons are not properly aligned with the text labels on the tree. I cannot figure out how to fix this. If you find a solution, please contact me or post on the project's discussion page.
New drop of [[:projects:multitemplate_for_dokuwiki]], where's what's new:
* media manager support
===== October 31, 2006 =====
Ok, it seems my initial attempt at “media manager” support didn't work, so I've released a “version b” of [[:projects:monobook_for_dokuwiki]] until I'm able to fix it. Essentially all that is different is that “mediamanager.php” gets deleted, so you can do that instead of redownloading, if you wish.
===== October 22, 2006 =====
New [[:projects:monobook_for_dokuwiki]], what's new:
* Some minor changes, and…
* Translators: Please add a lang.css (even if empty) to lang folders for **new** languages.
* Polish, German, Hungarian Language updates
* Credit to Marcin Hugo Kosiniski for pl, Volker Leonhardt for de, Peter Attila for hu
===== October 17, 2006 =====
I've added [[:todo|My "To Do" List]] as a new page, to better let everyone know what I feel I have left to do on the website.
===== October 12, 2006 =====
New [[:projects:backuptool_for_dokuwiki]] release, fixes the compatibilty issues with the new DokuWiki.
===== October 10, 2006 =====
Hi, everyone. I've gone ahead and fixed [[:projects:monobook_for_dokuwiki]]'s search since I've received so many emails about it. The german language file has also been updated.
===== October 7, 2006 =====
Dear [[:projects:monobook_for_dokuwiki]] users, please test the following:
* Probably compatible with IE 7?
* Three new customizable css files are available:
* /user/Monobook.css
* /user/Common.css
* /lang/(langauge code here)/lang.css – for instance /lang/de/lang.css
Again please test the above features as I am not able to.
* New features as follows:
* Upload file link works again, and now uses correct namespace
* AJAX [[http://www.google.com/search?q=%3Awiki%3Asearch%23Quicksearch&btnI=lucky|Quicksearch]] is now working (and looks good)
* Recent Changes access key now works [ALT-R]
* Documentation typo fixed
* doku.php is no longer hard-coded, Monobook now uses DOKU_SCRIPT
* **Go** no longer searches, it tries the page based on an ID you put in there
* **Search** is still the default, though.
This takes care of all but two of the outstanding issues on the discussion page. The discussion page has been cleaned up as well. I trimmed it by 12 pages of mostly fixed bug reports. 8-O
===== October 2, 2006 =====
Ok, I've taken a look at the new release of DokuWiki, and here's the verdict on what needs to be fixed:
* BackupTool **needs** to be updated, because:
* it relies on the idea that you have a "changes.log" which no longer exists.
* Monobook could use an update, since:
* The upload manager thingy is now different, and needs new stylesheet information
* And the link to access uploads has changed (argh)
* Display Wiki Page, Google Analytics, and Referrers could use an update:
* To take advantage of the new action plugin structure; they work fine as is though.
I'll start attacking these issues Friday, but in the meantime, if you yourself can fix a problem or two before me, please send me an update.
===== September 21, 2006 =====
I've pulled up the documentation I have on [[:projects:kempomake]] and have posted it on that project's page.
===== September 5, 2006 =====
I've begun to add the [[:problems]] section of the website. This section is devoted to problems you can use to improve your C, C++, and Java programming skills.
===== September 3, 2006 =====
* New plugin, [[:projects:referrers_for_dokuwiki]], which is also extracted from monobook.
* [[:projects:monobook_for_dokuwiki]] has been updated, Lithuanian translation update.
===== August 31, 2006 =====
New [[:email]], [[:email:c_and_cpp_signatures|C and C++ Signatures]].
===== August 23, 2006 =====
* New plugin, [[:projects:display_wiki_page_for_dokuwiki]], which comes from monobook.
* [[:projects:monobook_for_dokuwiki]] has also been updated to reflect this change.
===== August 20, 2006 =====
New plugin, [[:projects:google_analytics_for_dokuwiki]] has been posted.
[[:projects:monobook_for_dokuwiki]] has also been updated– German / DE language update and google analytics code has been removed– it is now in the new plugin (above) so any template can use it.
===== August 19, 2006 - 6:45PM =====
[[:projects:monobook_for_dokuwiki]] has been updated; some minor changes and some new supported languages.
===== August 19, 2006 =====
Some files have been shuffled around; if you find any broken links please let me know.
Also, there will be an update to [[:projects:monobook_for_dokuwiki]] in the next day or so along with some new plugins that will be **pulled** from the template… So in other words, the template will be smaller, and there will be additional optional plugins to install if you wish.
Once this has taken place, I see updates to the template as being minimal– updates will probably consist solely of language support and look and feel tweaks here and there.
But we're not there just yet, so stay tuned.
===== August 3, 2006 =====
[[:projects:backuptool_for_dokuwiki]] has been updated to include full internationalization support; so translators, get to it!
===== July 29, 2006 =====
New project, [[:projects:backuptool_for_dokuwiki]] – a plugin for DokuWiki.
===== July 28, 2006 =====
A new version of [[:projects:monobook_for_dokuwiki]] is now available.
===== July 15, 2006 =====
I've posted a new [[:papers]], Operator Overloading for Manufactured Types, which describes the common list of operators you'll probably use if you want to create your own manufactured types in C++.
===== July 13, 2006 =====
I've posted [[:projects:spimmy|Spimmy]], a mini MIPS simulator, written in C. Theoretically it should compile and run on any system that supports gcc.
There is also now a discussion page for the [[:papers]] [[:papers:arcball_rotation_control_revisited]].
===== June 24, 2006 =====
New project, [[:projects:multitemplate_for_dokuwiki]], which allows you to use any template you wish for any namespace(or file) you wish.
Also, [[:projects:monobook_for_dokuwiki]] has been updated so that it is “multitemplate ready.”
**Update**: [[:projects:multitemplate_for_dokuwiki]] has a small update that gives the “upload file” page the default template, which was the only thing that was missing from the initial release.
===== June 23, 2006 =====
New drop of [[:projects:monobook_for_dokuwiki]] today, as promised. Go see what's new.

===== June 14, 2006 =====
I’ve transitioned to a new host. Please let me know if there are any broken links or downloads.
===== June 7, 2006 =====
The server that hosts this site had a bad crash yesterday, and as a result I've lost most emails sent between yesterday and today, so if you've sent an email June 6th or 7th, please resend them, thanks.
===== May 31, 2006 =====
I've posted a new entry to the [[:proofs]] today, [[:proofs:one_equals_almost_one]].
===== May 19, 2006 =====
Another tiny bug fixed in main.php in [[:projects:monobook_for_dokuwiki]].
Since it's Friday, and there were no other pending changes, I'm making this today's release.
===== May 15, 2006 =====
There was a tiny bug in pref.php in [[:projects:monobook_for_dokuwiki]] related to the **discussion tab**. I've gone ahead and fixed it, and re-uploaded the file as the May 12th file.
If you don't want to re-download, just look for this line in pref.php:
$monobook['discussion'] = "talk";
and replace it with:
$monobook['discussion-location'] = "talk";
And that will fix it. Thanks to [[mailto:joannewalding@comcast.net|Joanne Walding]] for spotting this one.
===== May 12, 2006 =====

===== April 27, 2006 =====
Hi all. Just to let you know of the following events:
* I caught a cold of some sort Tuesday
* Finals at the college started Tuesday, and last until May 1st.
* I have received **a lot** of contributions to [[:projects:monobook_for_dokuwiki]]
Because of all of this, I'll be delaying changes until May 2nd, which is Tuesday– tests will be over and I should have recovered by then.
Also, I think I like the old format of news better, so I've changed it back. :-)
===== April 26, 2006 =====
I've installed the [[http://wiki.splitbrain.org/plugin:boxes|Box Plugin]], and plan to install the note plugin later tonight to spruce up the site a little.

===== April 19, 2006 =====
[[:projects:adblock_settings]] has been updated; not many changes, but enough to warrant a new release. I've also put up some interesting [[:proofs]] for perusal. They're rough and require cleanup, but I believe they're unique in their conception.
===== April 17, 2006 =====
[[:links|Warman]] has found the source to the last versions of [[:projects:macslomo]] and [[:projects:macvision-8]], so they are now available.
===== April 16, 2006 =====
I've found an old version of MacVision-8 that ought to work on Classic Mac computers… so now I have versions of MacVision-8 for all Mac OSes with the exception of the new Intel based stuff. Also some Links have been removed because of emails and other forms of contact going unanswered.
===== April 14, 2006 =====
New [[:email]] today on the topic of [[:email:endianness_confusion|Endianness Confusion]]!

* Don't forget to list your monobook site on Talk:Projects:Monobook for DokuWiki! :-)

OK, since yesterday, DokuWiki was updated again, and there appears to be more problems that are showing up in templates again.
Now, as for the update I had planned tonight, unfortunately other things have come up that I need to take care of, and I regret to say the new version will be delayed a few days. I expect to release sometime Tuesday, and I'll be away from the Internet until then.
===== March 9, 2006 =====

For the folks who were at the Game Developer club @ UCF tonight, here is the link to [[http://candycrisis.sf.net/|Candy Crisis]] (not my project.) The source is available of course, and it is example of a good, polished, professional looking game.
===== February 19, 2006 =====
Ok, I have released [[:projects:monobook_for_dokuwiki]] for general consumption. Requires [[http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:dokuwiki|DokuWiki]].
===== February 17, 2006 =====
Well, I have finally succeeded in converting the look and feel of the wiki to monobook, and I couldn't be happier.
In other news, for the folks who were at the Game Developer club @ UCF last night, here is the link for [[:projects:virtual_grandpa]]. Feel free to collaborate with me or others or on your own to try to finish coding it.
===== February 12, 2006 =====
[[:projects:libtate]] now has full PushbackInF and BufferInF support. Streams and Stream Filters now have a proper object oriented base. Once the stream and stream filters packages are finalized, documentation will be available for them.
===== February 6, 2006 =====
I've gone ahead and enabled a feature such that the wiki works more like other wikis; I've also moved its directory and such… for the purpose of getting [[http://google.com/|Google]] to properly index this site again. Special thanks to [[http://vjarmy.com/|Remy]].
===== February 5, 2006 =====

===== January 13, 2006 =====
Licensing information has been updated for projects which have a license.
===== January 11, 2006 =====
Here is the older look on top of the wiki engine. Although this is better than the default template, it doesn't feel like a perfect fit just yet, so I'll probably take another stab at it over the weekend.
===== January 7, 2006 =====
Well, the entire site has been restored, and everything is now “wikified.” You can use the Site map to see all pages on the site. Next thing to change will be the template (aka the look and feel) as time permits.
===== January 6, 2006 =====
Hello everybody! To those who saw the in-progress page last week, the site has now returned; to those who have not visited in a while, welcome back.
I've decided to make the entire site a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki|Wiki]] site. Why, you may ask? Well primarily because it has come to my attention that a Wiki is about one of the easiest ways to publish content, even for a personal web site.
[[http://wiki.splitbrain.org/Dokuwiki|Dokuwiki]] is probably the best choice for a Wiki; it is easy to configure and install, doesn't require a database, has user permissions, namespaces, and a lot of other cool features. About the only thing it is missing is a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monobook|Monobook]] look and feel.
So that's that. In other news, I will be putting the older content back online in the next week or so as time permits.
