people have come before you. I tried to warn them, but they wouldn't listen. :)

News:

29 / 1 / 00

Just so you know, the address of the 2100 Software web page is http://2100sw.8m.com/. There you'll find all my latest programs, code snippets and plugins (yep, I'm making plugins now!).

As is obvious from the dates of the various entries here, I'm not updating this page a whole lot, if at all. However, I'll try to keep it clean and fairly newish. If anyone wants me to link to their site from here, simply email me.

5 / 11 / 99

Sorry about the 6 month gap between updates here, but I tend to drop things rather suddenly, unfortunately. Yep, dropped. I've gone in with a friend into a company called 2100 Software, where I'm working on several products I eventually hope to sell.

So, for the time being, no development on the Infinity Project, or Project X. I'd love to see them completed, so if you want to work on them, please do, but I myself cannot allow myself to be distracted.

If I ever get time, I'll return to one or other and finish it.

9 / 5 / 99

Redone web page.

Resumed work on Project X after small dev-drought. Several people invovled.

CustomX series working through the dev pipe, hopefully be finished soon.

7 / 5 / 99

I've fixed all the broken links (I hope). The examples page has gone missing, presumed crashed-without-saving, so I'll have to do it all again *sigh*. Never mind. :)

Anyway, I'm now working on CustomCheckbox, having successfully completed CustomRadioButton. I don't know what to do after that - I was thinking of doing CustomActivityIndicator (those spinning arrows), CustomSeperator and CustomScrollbar. I've already done CustomPlacard, although I'll need to do a couple more things to it before it's quite up to scratch.

3 / 5 / 99

New "Classes & Modules" page.

26 / 4 / 99

Progress is being made in various fields. Project X is pretty much finalised, now to the fun part - making it happen. :)

The Infinity project's had a little lookin over the last week, and I've tweaked the odd thing or too.

I've created the discussion lists to talk about advanced RealBasic stuff, and Project X. You can read more about them at the bottom of this page.

Discussion Lists

I've created two lists using the services made available through www.listbot.com, for those who prefer to be emailed new stuff, rather than searching through websites and newsgroups to find them.

RealBasic Talk

This is a mailing list for discussing advanced RealBasic topics, such as the more intricate parts of sockets, better use of canvas's and so forth. I also mail news and tips to it regularly, and others may too, if I miss something. Unlike other parts of this site, the list is still going strong, and I intend to keep it that way, so please do join, and learn from the knowledge of others, and perhaps even contribute to the pool.

Project X D&N (Discussion & News)

A mailing list for everyone working on or interested in Project X. It'll be used to make announcements about major improvements, discuss important issues and so forth. Since development on Project X by myself is no longer occuring, this list is pretty silent. However, others are free to use it, and I will, if I ever get back into Project X, go back to this.
