Today I renewed the Sappharad.com domain name until 2012. That should be good news for the 3 or 4 people that still visit this site. It'll be 7 years since I started this site next month.

In other news, I've released a Mac OS X port of the latest version of SRB2. You can read about that here. I haven't decided whether I'll be linking it from the projects section yet. Considering how infrequently I update, the link should be on the main page for at least another year.

The projects section recieved a minor update today. Back in January, I bought a Mac Pro and switched to using Mac OS X as my primary Operating System. Anyway, earlier this week I needed to use GCNcrypt to decrypt some AR codes, and discovered that the existing Mac port was command line only and 5 years old. So today I decided to port the latest version from scratch, with a GUI. I'm pleased with the outcome, it's almost exactly the same as the original. If anyone cares, feel free to get it from the projects section here .

Judging from the 125 "message undeliverable" e-mails I have recieved in the past 12 hours, (and more over the past week) some spammer is now using my e-mail address as a reply-to address for his or her messages. Of course, according to the message headers in these e-mails none of them are coming from this server. Most of them seem to have originated from a server in Romania.

I don't have time to dig through over 100 e-mails every day, so sometime in the next week I will be changing my e-mail address. I will update this post when I get around to doing that. In the meantime, it's just an early heads-up in case anyone plans to e-mail me in the near future and never gets a reply.

Update: I haven't gotten around to doing what I mentioned above. My plans involve sitting down and writing an e-mail script in place of posting the address, and actually doing that is low on my priority list.

5 years ago, on February 7th 2002, I started this site. I created it as a central repository for all of my projects and interesting things. And in those five years, I've updated at least five times. That's more than some sites. I hope to bring another five years of the same. Perhaps I'll find time to release something new in celebration, if I find time over the next month to do so.

Over in my project's section, I've released the source code to a Trillian skin editor I started working on in July 2006 and quickly abandoned. I figured, maybe someone might want the source code, so I released it! You can grab that here. Just a fair warning for anyone who wants to download the actual program, it can't edit very much. What you see in the screenshot is what it does.
