...or why I never maintain my old programs much. The reason I create some software, fix a few bugs, do a few minor version upgrades and then let it be, until someone really needs something is because, well, I like to do a lot of different projects in different fields. Now it so happens that I am still in school, now going to standard 12, which in India means bad.…

Some folks at YoungCoders gave me some feedback about Pixelframe. One big criticism was that the client doesn't work without javascript. So for One dot One Pixelframe will have the following changes over One dot Oh: Client will work even with Javascript disabled, using static linksDifferent loading images for admin and client, to suit the themeDefault theme has the thumbnail bar moved to the left. This is better for usability.…

So after 3 weeks of development on getting it to work in Internet Explorer, Pixelframe is ready. Testing is almost complete and after wrapping up a few loose ends it will be released. Some of the things remaining are converting PNGs to GIFs since IE has a problem with displaying PNGs, handling an unforeseen theme error, and a few look-n-feel changes. You can check out the almost working version ( uploaded at the time of writing this post ) at http://22bits.…

Over the last two days, the HD-DVD encryption key leak has gained momentum. Now considering that most of the stories on the first few pages of Digg relate to this, and that the key is now available on a hell of a lot of sites, I surely don't need to tell you about it. But is it the beginning of a revolution? The tech community has for long been aware of the ills of DRM and related agencies like the MAFIAA.…

Yesterday I downloaded Kubuntu 7.04, expecting an amazing release from the reviews I had read. But I was very very disappointed. First let me mention that I have been using linux since 4 years and so this isn't some tale of a Windows user suddenly jumping to Linux and thinking its crap. I have very generic hardware, and Kubuntu had no problems detecting it, except my ViewSonic widescreen which no distro has managed to get working in widescreen resolution.…

For the last 3 days I have been downloading Kubuntu and now there are about 5 hours left. There are 2 reasons why I want to try out Kubuntu. I am always looking for new distros to install on my spare partition.I am hoping that the new X server and *buntu's good hardware support means that my widescreen monitor will work at its default resolution of 1440x900.So I will do a small review tomorrow.…

Before I begin ------------------------------------------------- Statuatory Warning: The below scenes may be disturbing ------------------------------------------------- Pixelframe was once upon a time chugging along just fine and I was ready for a release about the 15th of April. Then along came the world's Favourite Browser and my life ( atleast the Pixelframe dedicated process ) has become worth dropping to /dev/null. I am sogoogol sick of Internet Explorer. It took me one week to get the client working.…

I forgot to post, my computer's back for 2 days now and Pixelframe development is back on track. I have given up on the max-width property in IE, because no matter what expression() I use, it doesn't work. As for the settings page, the style isn't getting applied, but most of the Javascript errors are ironed out. ~2 days left for it to be ready. Need to start writing the themeing docs.…
