I've come to realize that 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. 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.

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, 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 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 Monobook for Dokuwiki, here's the addition:
- Search results are now properly highlighted.
Updated Display Wiki Page for DokuWiki, here's what's new:
- Display Wiki Page now honors page permissions for read. Thanks anonymous.

New email, simple_opengl_wall.

New drop of 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 Danilo Sato for br-pt
- Credit 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 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 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 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 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 BackupTool for Dokuwiki release, fixes the compatibilty issues with the new DokuWiki.
October 10, 2006
Hi, everyone. I've gone ahead and fixed 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 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 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.
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 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, Referrers for DokuWiki, which is also extracted from monobook.
- Monobook for Dokuwiki has been updated, Lithuanian translation update.
August 31, 2006
New email, C and C++ Signatures.
August 23, 2006
- New plugin, Display Wiki Page for DokuWiki, which comes from monobook.
- Monobook for Dokuwiki has also been updated to reflect this change.
August 20, 2006
New plugin, Google Analytics for DokuWiki has been posted.
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
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 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
BackupTool for Dokuwiki has been updated to include full internationalization support; so translators, get to it!
July 29, 2006
New project, BackupTool for Dokuwiki – a plugin for DokuWiki.

July 13, 2006
I've posted 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 arcball_rotation_control_revisited.
June 24, 2006
New project, Multitemplate for Dokuwiki, which allows you to use any template you wish for any namespace(or file) you wish.
Also, Monobook for Dokuwiki has been updated so that it is “multitemplate ready.”
Update: 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

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, one_equals_almost_one.

Another tiny bug fixed in main.php in 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 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 Joanne Walding for spotting this one.
May 12, 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 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 19, 2006
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
Warman has found the source to the last versions of macslomo and 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 Endianness Confusion!

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.

In other news, for the folks who were at the Game Developer club @ UCF last night, here is the link for virtual_grandpa. Feel free to collaborate with me or others or on your own to try to finish coding it.
February 12, 2006
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 Google to properly index this site again. Special thanks to 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 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.
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 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.
