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.

Last August I released a tool to edit XML code files for the Nintendo DS Action Replay. (Since then, the official software for the device has gained the ability to do this as well. This sort've makes my program not very useful anymore, but oh well.) On December 28th, I released an update for this tool which enables it to export a local code list as a subscription file, for people who easily want a way to do this.

You can download this update here. It will probably be the last release of the tool since I don't have time to update it much anymore, and it's mostly finished anyway.

After about a month of downtime, the main page to this site is finally back up. I ended up switching hosting providers, even though my account on the old one was paid for until 2008. They haven't replied to any of my messages in a few weeks. I've got nothing new, but hopefully there won't be any more extended downtime on this site in the near future.
